This section contains some ideas for troubleshooting common problems experienced with data tiering.

Slow tiering of chunks

Chunks are tiered asynchronously. Chunks are selected to be tiered to the object storage tier one at a time ordered by their enqueue time.

To see the chunks waiting to be tiered query the timescaledb_osm.chunks_queued_for_tiering view

select count(*) from timescaledb_osm.chunks_queued_for_tiering

Processing all the chunks in the queue may take considerable time if a large quantity of data is being migrated to the object storage tier.
