Test and debug a user-defined action

To debug an action, you can increase the log level and run the job manually in the foreground.

Use the run_job procedure, which takes a job_id argument. Because run_job is a stored procedure and not a function, it needs to be executed with CALL instead of SELECT.

Testing and debugging a job

1. Change the minimum log level shown to the client. Set it to DEBUG1.

   SET client_min_messages TO DEBUG1;

   Copy

2. Run the job. Replace 1000 with your actual job_id.

   CALL run_job(1000);

   Copy

Note

To find the job_id for your job, query the timescaledb_information.jobs table.

SELECT * FROM timescaledb_information.jobs;

Copy
