Hello Everyone!
Please kindly tell me, do I have to tick "Enable internal housekeeping" for history and trends when using timescaleDB ?

Hello, yes you are required to turn it on.

3 Housekeeping

Near the bottom of this page it states

"If using TimescaleDB, in order to take full advantage of TimescaleDB automatic partitioning of history and trends tables, Override item history period and Override item trend period options must be enabled as well as Enable internal housekeeping option for history and trends. Otherwise, data kept in these tables will still be stored in partitions, however, the housekeeper will not drop outdated partitions, and warnings about incorrect configuration will be displayed. When dropping of outdated partitions is enabled, Zabbix server and frontend will no longer keep track of deleted items, and history for deleted items will be cleared when an outdated partition is deleted."

If your new I would recommend giving the documentation a read and it has a search function as well so you can look stuff up
