Columns:
- `hostname` ([LowCardinality(String)](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Hostname of the server executing the query.
- `event_date` ([Date](../../sql-reference/data-types/date.md)) — Event date.
- `event_time` ([DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md)) — Event time.
- `code` ([Int32](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Code number of the error.
- `error` ([LowCardinality(String)](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) - Name of the error.
- `value` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — The number of times this error happened.
- `remote` ([UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Remote exception (i.e. received during one of the distributed queries).
