Contains history of metrics values from tables system.metrics and system.events, periodically flushed to disk.

Columns:

• event_date (Date) — Event date.
• event_time (DateTime) — Event time.
• event_time_microseconds (DateTime64) — Event time with microseconds resolution.

Example

SELECT * FROM system.metric_log LIMIT 1 FORMAT Vertical;
