# System tables
System tables are used for implementing part of the system's functionality, and for providing access to information about how the system is working.
You can't delete a system table (but you can perform DETACH).
System tables don't have files with data on the disk or files with metadata. The server creates all the system tables when it starts.
System tables are read-only.
They are located in the 'system' database.

## system.asynchronous_metrics {#system_tables-asynchronous_metrics}
Contains metrics that are calculated periodically in the background. For example, the amount of RAM in use.
Columns:
- `metric` ([String](../data_types/string.md)) — Metric name.
- `value` ([Float64](../data_types/float.md)) — Metric value.
**Example**
```sql
SELECT * FROM system.asynchronous_metrics LIMIT 10
```

- [Monitoring](monitoring.md) — Base concepts of ClickHouse monitoring.
- [system.metrics](#system_tables-metrics) — Contains instantly calculated metrics.
- [system.events](#system_tables-events) — Contains a number of events that have occurred.
## system.clusters
Contains information about clusters available in the config file and the servers in them.
Columns:
- `cluster` (String) — The cluster name.
- `shard_num` (UInt32) — The shard number in the cluster, starting from 1.
- `shard_weight` (UInt32) — The relative weight of the shard when writing data.
- `replica_num` (UInt32) — The replica number in the shard, starting from 1.
- `host_name` (String) — The host name, as specified in the config.
- `host_address` (String) — The host IP address obtained from DNS.
- `port` (UInt16) — The port to use for connecting to the server.

- `estimated_recovery_time` (UInt32) - seconds left until replica error count is zeroed and it is considered to be back to normal.
Please note that `errors_count` is updated once per query to the cluster, but `estimated_recovery_time` is recalculated on-demand. So there could be a case of non-zero `errors_count` and zero `estimated_recovery_time`, that next query will zero `errors_count` and try to use replica as if it has no errors.

```
```text
┌─name─────────────┐
│ Olga Khvostikova │
└──────────────────┘
```
## system.databases
This table contains a single String column called 'name' the name of a database.
Each database that the server knows about has a corresponding entry in the table.
This system table is used for implementing the `SHOW DATABASES` query.

Such parts can be attached with [ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION|PART](../query_language/query_language/alter/#alter_attach-partition) command. For the description of other columns, see [system.parts](#system_tables-parts). If part name is invalid, values of some columns may be `NULL`. Such parts can be deleted with [ALTER TABLE DROP DETACHED PART](../query_language/query_language/alter/#alter_drop-detached).

## system.processes {#system_tables-processes}
This system table is used for implementing the `SHOW PROCESSLIST` query.
Columns:
- `user` (String) The user who made the query. Keep in mind that for distributed processing, queries are sent to remote servers under the `default` user. The field contains the username for a specific query, not for a query that this query initiated.
- `address` (String) The IP address the request was made from. The same for distributed processing. To track where a distributed query was originally made from, look at `system.processes` on the query requestor server.

- `total_rows_approx` (UInt64) The approximation of the total number of rows that should be read. For distributed processing, on the requestor server, this is the total for all remote servers. It can be updated during request processing, when new sources to process become known.
- `memory_usage` (UInt64) Amount of RAM the request uses. It might not include some types of dedicated memory. See the [max_memory_usage](../operations/settings/query_complexity.md#settings_max_memory_usage) setting.
- `query` (String) The query text. For `INSERT`, it doesn't include the data to insert.
- `query_id` (String) Query ID, if defined.
## system.query_log {#system_tables-query_log}
Contains information about execution of queries. For each query, you can see processing start time, duration of processing, error messages and other information.
!!! note "Note"
The table doesn't contain input data for `INSERT` queries.
2019-08-08 11:57:44 +00:00
ClickHouse creates this table only if the [query_log](server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-query-log) server parameter is specified. This parameter sets the logging rules, such as the logging interval or the name of the table the queries will be logged in.
To enable query logging, set the [log_queries](settings/settings.md#settings-log-queries) parameter to 1. For details, see the [Settings](settings/settings.md) section.
The `system.query_log` table registers two kinds of queries:
2019-08-08 11:57:44 +00:00
1. Initial queries that were run directly by the client.
2019-08-08 11:57:44 +00:00

3. If an error occurred before launching the query, a single event with type 3 is created.
By default, logs are added to the table at intervals of 7.5 seconds. You can set this interval in the [query_log](server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-query-log) server setting (see the `flush_interval_milliseconds` parameter). To flush the logs forcibly from the memory buffer into the table, use the `SYSTEM FLUSH LOGS` query.
When the table is deleted manually, it will be automatically created on the fly. Note that all the previous logs will be deleted.
!!! note
The storage period for logs is unlimited. Logs aren't automatically deleted from the table. You need to organize the removal of outdated logs yourself.
You can specify an arbitrary partitioning key for the `system.query_log` table in the [query_log](server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-query-log) server setting (see the `partition_by` parameter).

## system.trace_log {#system_tables-trace_log}
Contains stack traces collected by the sampling query profiler.
2019-11-20 10:05:50 +00:00
ClickHouse creates this table when the [trace_log](server_settings/settings.md#server_settings-trace_log) server configuration section is set. Also the [query_profiler_real_time_period_ns](settings/settings.md#query_profiler_real_time_period_ns) and [query_profiler_cpu_time_period_ns](settings/settings.md#query_profiler_cpu_time_period_ns) settings should be set.

```text
database: Database name
table: Table name
engine: Table engine name
is_leader: Whether the replica is the leader.
Only one replica at a time can be the leader. The leader is responsible for selecting background merges to perform.
Note that writes can be performed to any replica that is available and has a session in ZK, regardless of whether it is a leader.
is_readonly: Whether the replica is in read-only mode.
This mode is turned on if the config doesn't have sections with ZooKeeper, if an unknown error occurred when reinitializing sessions in ZooKeeper, and during session reinitialization in ZooKeeper.
is_session_expired: Whether the session with ZooKeeper has expired.
Basically the same as 'is_readonly'.
future_parts: The number of data parts that will appear as the result of INSERTs or merges that haven't been done yet.
parts_to_check: The number of data parts in the queue for verification.
A part is put in the verification queue if there is suspicion that it might be damaged.
zookeeper_path: Path to table data in ZooKeeper.
replica_name: Replica name in ZooKeeper. Different replicas of the same table have different names.
replica_path: Path to replica data in ZooKeeper. The same as concatenating 'zookeeper_path/replicas/replica_path'.
columns_version: Version number of the table structure.
Indicates how many times ALTER was performed. If replicas have different versions, it means some replicas haven't made all of the ALTERs yet.
queue_size: Size of the queue for operations waiting to be performed.
Operations include inserting blocks of data, merges, and certain other actions.
It usually coincides with 'future_parts'.
inserts_in_queue: Number of inserts of blocks of data that need to be made.
Insertions are usually replicated fairly quickly. If this number is large, it means something is wrong.
merges_in_queue: The number of merges waiting to be made.
Sometimes merges are lengthy, so this value may be greater than zero for a long time.
The next 4 columns have a non-zero value only where there is an active session with ZK.
log_max_index: Maximum entry number in the log of general activity.
log_pointer: Maximum entry number in the log of general activity that the replica copied to its execution queue, plus one.
If log_pointer is much smaller than log_max_index, something is wrong.
total_replicas: The total number of known replicas of this table.
active_replicas: The number of replicas of this table that have a session in ZooKeeper (i.e., the number of functioning replicas).
```
If you request all the columns, the table may work a bit slowly, since several reads from ZooKeeper are made for each row.
If you don't request the last 4 columns (log_max_index, log_pointer, total_replicas, active_replicas), the table works quickly.
For example, you can check that everything is working correctly like this:

## system.tables
Contains metadata of each table that the server knows about. Detached tables are not shown in `system.tables`.
This table contains the following columns (the column type is shown in brackets):
- `database` (String) — The name of the database the table is in.
- `name` (String) — Table name.
- `engine` (String) — Table engine name (without parameters).
- `is_temporary` (UInt8) - Flag that indicates whether the table is temporary.
- `data_path` (String) - Path to the table data in the file system.
- `metadata_path` (String) - Path to the table metadata in the file system.
- `metadata_modification_time` (DateTime) - Time of latest modification of the table metadata.
- `dependencies_database` (Array(String)) - Database dependencies.
- `dependencies_table` (Array(String)) - Table dependencies ([MaterializedView](table_engines/materializedview.md) tables based on the current table).
- `create_table_query` (String) - The query that was used to create the table.
- `engine_full` (String) - Parameters of the table engine.
- `partition_key` (String) - The partition key expression specified in the table.
- `sorting_key` (String) - The sorting key expression specified in the table.
- `primary_key` (String) - The primary key expression specified in the table.
- `sampling_key` (String) - The sampling key expression specified in the table.
The `system.tables` table is used in `SHOW TABLES` query implementation.
## system.zookeeper
The table does not exist if ZooKeeper is not configured. Allows reading data from the ZooKeeper cluster defined in the config.
The query must have a 'path' equality condition in the WHERE clause. This is the path in ZooKeeper for the children that you want to get data for.
The query `SELECT * FROM system.zookeeper WHERE path = '/clickhouse'` outputs data for all children on the `/clickhouse` node.
To output data for all root nodes, write path = '/'.
If the path specified in 'path' doesn't exist, an exception will be thrown.
Columns:
- `name` (String) — The name of the node.
- `path` (String) — The path to the node.
- `value` (String) — Node value.
- `dataLength` (Int32) — Size of the value.
- `numChildren` (Int32) — Number of descendants.
- `czxid` (Int64) — ID of the transaction that created the node.
- `mzxid` (Int64) — ID of the transaction that last changed the node.
- `pzxid` (Int64) — ID of the transaction that last deleted or added descendants.
- `ctime` (DateTime) — Time of node creation.
- `mtime` (DateTime) — Time of the last modification of the node.
- `version` (Int32) — Node version: the number of times the node was changed.
- `cversion` (Int32) — Number of added or removed descendants.
- `aversion` (Int32) — Number of changes to the ACL.
- `ephemeralOwner` (Int64) — For ephemeral nodes, the ID of the session that owns this node.

## system.mutations {#system_tables-mutations}
The table contains information about [mutations](../query_language/alter.md#alter-mutations) of MergeTree tables and their progress. Each mutation command is represented by a single row. The table has the following columns:
**database**, **table** - The name of the database and table to which the mutation was applied.
**mutation_id** - The ID of the mutation. For replicated tables these IDs correspond to znode names in the `<table_path_in_zookeeper>/mutations/` directory in ZooKeeper. For unreplicated tables the IDs correspond to file names in the data directory of the table.
**command** - The mutation command string (the part of the query after `ALTER TABLE [db.]table`).
**create_time** - When this mutation command was submitted for execution.
**block_numbers.partition_id**, **block_numbers.number** - A nested column. For mutations of replicated tables, it contains one record for each partition: the partition ID and the block number that was acquired by the mutation (in each partition, only parts that contain blocks with numbers less than the block number acquired by the mutation in that partition will be mutated). In non-replicated tables, block numbers in all partitions form a single sequence. This means that for mutations of non-replicated tables, the column will contain one record with a single block number acquired by the mutation.
2019-02-07 18:14:18 +00:00
**parts_to_do** - The number of data parts that need to be mutated for the mutation to finish.
**is_done** - Is the mutation done? Note that even if `parts_to_do = 0` it is possible that a mutation of a replicated table is not done yet because of a long-running INSERT that will create a new data part that will need to be mutated.
If there were problems with mutating some parts, the following columns contain additional information:
2019-02-07 18:14:18 +00:00
**latest_failed_part** - The name of the most recent part that could not be mutated.
**latest_fail_time** - The time of the most recent part mutation failure.
**latest_fail_reason** - The exception message that caused the most recent part mutation failure.
## system.disks {#system_tables-disks}
Contains information about disks defined in the [server configuration](table_engines/mergetree.md#table_engine-mergetree-multiple-volumes_configure).
Columns:
- `name` ([String](../data_types/string.md)) — Name of a disk in the server configuration.
- `path` ([String](../data_types/string.md)) — Path to the mount point in the file system.
- `free_space` ([UInt64](../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Free space on disk in bytes.
- `total_space` ([UInt64](../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Disk volume in bytes.
- `keep_free_space` ([UInt64](../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Amount of disk space that should stay free on disk in bytes. Defined in the `keep_free_space_bytes` parameter of disk configuration.
## system.storage_policies {#system_tables-storage_policies}
Contains information about storage policies and volumes defined in the [server configuration](table_engines/mergetree.md#table_engine-mergetree-multiple-volumes_configure).
Columns:
- `policy_name` ([String](../data_types/string.md)) — Name of the storage policy.
- `volume_name` ([String](../data_types/string.md)) — Volume name defined in the storage policy.
- `volume_priority` ([UInt64](../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Volume order number in the configuration.
- `disks` ([Array(String)](../data_types/array.md)) — Disk names, defined in the storage policy.
- `max_data_part_size` ([UInt64](../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Maximum size of a data part that can be stored on volume disks (0 — no limit).
- `move_factor` ([Float64](../data_types/float.md)) — Ratio of free disk space. When the ratio exceeds the value of configuration parameter, ClickHouse start to move data to the next volume in order.
If the storage policy contains more then one volume, then information for each volume is stored in the individual row of the table.
