## system.asynchronous_metric_log {#system-tables-async-log}

Contains the historical values for `system.asynchronous_metrics`, which are saved once per minute. This feature is enabled by default.

Columns:

-   `event_date` ([Date](../../sql-reference/data-types/date.md)) — Event date.
-   `event_time` ([DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md)) — Event time.
-   `event_time_microseconds` ([DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md)) — Event time with microseconds resolution.
-   `name` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Metric name.
-   `value` ([Float64](../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md)) — Metric value.

**Example**

``` sql
SELECT * FROM system.asynchronous_metric_log LIMIT 10
```
