# trace_log
Contains stack traces collected by the [sampling query profiler](../../operations/optimizing-performance/sampling-query-profiler.md).
ClickHouse creates this table when the [trace_log](../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-trace_log) server configuration section is set. Also see settings: [query_profiler_real_time_period_ns](../../operations/settings/settings.md#query_profiler_real_time_period_ns), [query_profiler_cpu_time_period_ns](../../operations/settings/settings.md#query_profiler_cpu_time_period_ns), [memory_profiler_step](../../operations/settings/settings.md#memory_profiler_step),
[memory_profiler_sample_probability](../../operations/settings/settings.md#memory_profiler_sample_probability), [trace_profile_events](../../operations/settings/settings.md#trace_profile_events).
To analyze logs, use the `addressToLine`, `addressToLineWithInlines`, `addressToSymbol` and `demangle` introspection functions.
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)) — Date of sampling moment.
- `event_time` ([DateTime](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime.md)) — Timestamp of the sampling moment.
- `event_time_microseconds` ([DateTime64](../../sql-reference/data-types/datetime64.md)) — Timestamp of the sampling moment with microseconds precision.
- `timestamp_ns` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Timestamp of the sampling moment in nanoseconds.
- `revision` ([UInt32](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — ClickHouse server build revision.
When connecting to the server by `clickhouse-client`, you see the string similar to `Connected to ClickHouse server version 19.18.1.`. This field contains the `revision`, but not the `version` of a server.
- `trace_type` ([Enum8](../../sql-reference/data-types/enum.md)) — Trace type:
- `Real` represents collecting stack traces by wall-clock time.
- `CPU` represents collecting stack traces by CPU time.
- `Memory` represents collecting allocations and deallocations when memory allocation exceeds the subsequent watermark.
- `MemorySample` represents collecting random allocations and deallocations.
- `MemoryPeak` represents collecting updates of peak memory usage.
- `ProfileEvent` represents collecting of increments of profile events.
- `thread_id` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Thread identifier.
- `query_id` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Query identifier that can be used to get details about a query that was running from the [query_log](#system_tables-query_log) system table.
- `trace` ([Array(UInt64)](../../sql-reference/data-types/array.md)) — Stack trace at the moment of sampling. Each element is a virtual memory address inside ClickHouse server process.
- `size` ([Int64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) - For trace types `Memory`, `MemorySample` or `MemoryPeak` is the amount of memory allocated, for other trace types is 0.
- `event` ([LowCardinality(String)](../../sql-reference/data-types/lowcardinality.md)) - For trace type `ProfileEvent` is the name of updated profile event, for other trace types is an empty string.
- `increment` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) - For trace type `ProfileEvent` is the amount of increment of profile event, for other trace types is 0.
