How to set the timescaledb.max_background_workers appropriately?

We are using TimescaleDB v2.14.2 on PostgreSQL v15.6 on Red Hat 9.3 self-hosted on prem.

I am reading article Timescale Parameters You Should Know About and I am specially interested in parameter ** timescaledb.max_background_workers**.

From article: “You should configure the timescaledb.max_background_workers setting to be equal to the sum of your total number of databases + the total number of concurrent background workers you want running at any given point in time.”

Questions:

  1. What is “total number of databases”? Is it databases on the same Linux server that have TimescaleDB extension installed?
  2. How to determine the " total number of concurrent background workers you want running at any given point in time"? How to measure this?
