Introspection Functions
You can use functions described in this chapter to introspect ELF and 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-dbgpackage. -
Set the allow_introspection_functions setting to 1.
For security reasons introspection functions are disabled by default.
ClickHouse saves profiler reports to the trace_log system table. Make sure the table and profiler are configured properly.
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
addressToLine(address_of_binary_instruction)
Arguments
address_of_binary_instruction(UInt64) — 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/../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.
Example
Enabling introspection functions:
SET allow_introspection_functions=1;
Selecting the first string from the trace_log system table:
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:
SELECT addressToLine(94784076370703) \G;
Row 1:
──────
addressToLine(94784076370703): /build/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/../src/Common/ThreadPool.cpp:199
Applying the function to the whole stack trace:
SELECT
arrayStringConcat(arrayMap(x -> addressToLine(x), trace), '\n') AS trace_source_code_lines
FROM system.trace_log
LIMIT 1
\G
The arrayMap 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.

addressToLineWithInlines
Similar to addressToLine, but it will return an Array with all inline functions, and will be much slower as a price.
If you use official ClickHouse packages, you need to install the clickhouse-common-static-dbg package.
Syntax
addressToLineWithInlines(address_of_binary_instruction)
Arguments
address_of_binary_instruction(UInt64) — Address of instruction in a running process.
Returned value
-
Array which first element is source code filename and the line number in this file delimited by colon. And from second element, inline functions' source code filename and line number and function name are listed.
-
Array with single element which is name of a binary, if the function couldn’t find the debug information.
-
Empty array, if the address is not valid.
Type: Array(String).
Example
Enabling introspection functions:
SET allow_introspection_functions=1;
Applying the function to address.
SELECT addressToLineWithInlines(531055181::UInt64);
