# server_settings
Contains information about global settings for the server, which were specified in `config.xml`.
Currently, the table shows only settings from the first layer of `config.xml` and doesn't support nested configs (e.g. [logger](../../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-logger)).
Columns:
- `name` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Server setting name.
- `value` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Server setting value.
- `default` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Server setting default value.
- `changed` ([UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md#uint-ranges)) — Shows whether a setting was specified in `config.xml`
- `description` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Short server setting description.
- `type` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Server setting value type.
- `changeable_without_restart` ([Enum8](../../sql-reference/data-types/enum.md)) — Whether the setting can be changed at server runtime. Values:
- `'No' `
- `'IncreaseOnly'`
- `'DecreaseOnly'`
- `'Yes'`
- `is_obsolete` ([UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md#uint-ranges)) - Shows whether a setting is obsolete.
**Example**
The following example shows how to get information about server settings which name contains `thread_pool`.
``` sql
SELECT *
FROM system.server_settings
WHERE name LIKE '%thread_pool%'
```

Using of `WHERE changed` can be useful, for example, when you want to check
whether settings in configuration files are loaded correctly and are in use.
<!-- -->
``` sql
SELECT * FROM system.server_settings WHERE changed AND name='max_thread_pool_size'
