# timeSeriesMetrics

`timeSeriesMetrics(db_name.time_series_table)` - Returns the [metrics](/reference/engines/table-engines/integrations/time-series#metrics-table) table
used by table `db_name.time_series_table` whose table engine is the [TimeSeries](/reference/engines/table-engines/integrations/time-series) engine:

```sql theme={null}
CREATE TABLE db_name.time_series_table ENGINE=TimeSeries METRICS metrics_table
```

The function also works if the *metrics* table is inner:

```sql theme={null}
CREATE TABLE db_name.time_series_table ENGINE=TimeSeries METRICS INNER UUID '01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef'
```

The following queries are equivalent:

```sql theme={null}
SELECT * FROM timeSeriesMetrics(db_name.time_series_table);
SELECT * FROM timeSeriesMetrics('db_name.time_series_table');
SELECT * FROM timeSeriesMetrics('db_name', 'time_series_table');
```
