# system.opentelemetry_span_log {#system_tables-opentelemetry_span_log}

Contains information about [trace spans](https://opentracing.io/docs/overview/spans/) for executed queries.

Columns:

-   `trace_id` ([UUID](../../sql-reference/data-types/uuid.md) — ID of the trace for executed query.

-   `span_id` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — ID of the `trace span`.

-   `parent_span_id` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — ID of the parent `trace span`.

-   `operation_name` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — The name of the operation.

-   `start_time_us` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — The start time of the `trace span` (in microseconds).

-   `finish_time_us` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — The finish time of the `trace span` (in microseconds).

-   `finish_date` ([Date](../../sql-reference/data-types/date.md)) — The finish date of the `trace span`.

-   `attribute.names` ([Array](../../sql-reference/data-types/array.md)([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md))) — [Attribute](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/go/instrumentation/#attributes) names depending on the `trace span`. They are filled in according to the recommendations in the [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) standard.

-   `attribute.values` ([Array](../../sql-reference/data-types/array.md)([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md))) — Attribute values depending on the `trace span`. They are filled in according to the recommendations in the `OpenTelemetry` standard.
