# Introspection Functions
You can use functions described in this chapter to introspect [ELF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format) and [DWARF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWARF) for query profiling.
!!! warning "Warning"
These functions are slow and may impose security considerations.
For proper operation of introspection functions:
- Install the `clickhouse-common-static-dbg` package.
- Set the [allow_introspection_functions](../../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-allow_introspection_functions) setting to 1.
For security reasons introspection functions are disabled by default.
ClickHouse saves profiler reports to the [trace_log](../../operations/system_tables.md#system_tables-trace_log) system table. Make sure the table and profiler are configured properly.
## addressToLine {#addresstoline}
Converts virtual memory address inside ClickHouse server process to the filename and the line number in ClickHouse source code.
If you use official ClickHouse packages, you need to install the `clickhouse-common-static-dbg` package.
**Syntax**
```sql
addressToLine(address_of_binary_instruction)
```
**Parameters**
- `address_of_binary_instruction` ([UInt64](../../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Address of instruction in a running process.
**Returned value**
- Source code filename and the line number in this file delimited by colon.
For example, `/build/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/../dbms/src/Common/ThreadPool.cpp:199`, where `199` is a line number.
- Name of a binary, if the function couldn't find the debug information.
- Empty string, if the address is not valid.
Type: [String](../../data_types/string.md).
**Example**
Enabling introspection functions:
```sql
SET allow_introspection_functions=1
```
Selecting the first string from the `trace_log` system table:
```sql
SELECT * FROM system.trace_log LIMIT 1 \G
```

```
The `trace` field contains the stack trace at the moment of sampling.
Getting the source code filename and the line number for a single address:
```sql
SELECT addressToLine(94784076370703) \G
```
```text
Row 1:
──────
addressToLine(94784076370703): /build/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/../dbms/src/Common/ThreadPool.cpp:199
```
Applying the function to the whole stack trace:
```sql
SELECT
arrayStringConcat(arrayMap(x -> addressToLine(x), trace), '\n') AS trace_source_code_lines
FROM system.trace_log
LIMIT 1
\G
```
The [arrayMap](higher_order_functions.md#higher_order_functions-array-map) function allows to process each individual element of the `trace` array by the `addressToLine` function. The result of this processing you see in the `trace_source_code_lines` column of output.

## addressToSymbol {#addresstosymbol}
Converts virtual memory address inside ClickHouse server process to the symbol from ClickHouse object files.
**Syntax**
```sql
addressToSymbol(address_of_binary_instruction)
```
**Parameters**
- `address_of_binary_instruction` ([UInt64](../../data_types/int_uint.md)) — Address of instruction in a running process.
**Returned value**
- Symbol from ClickHouse object files.
- Empty string, if the address is not valid.
Type: [String](../../data_types/string.md).
**Example**
Enabling introspection functions:
```sql
SET allow_introspection_functions=1
```
Selecting the first string from the `trace_log` system table:
