# system.stack_trace

<Info>
  **Querying in ClickHouse Cloud**

  The data in this system table is held locally on each node in ClickHouse Cloud. Obtaining a complete view of all data, therefore, requires the `clusterAllReplicas` function. See [here](/reference/system-tables/overview#system-tables-in-clickhouse-cloud) for further details.

<h2 id="description">
  Description
</h2>

Contains stack traces of all server threads. Allows developers to introspect the server state.

To analyze stack frames, use the `addressToLine`, `addressToLineWithInlines`, `addressToSymbol` and `demangle` [introspection functions](/reference/functions/regular-functions/introspection).

<h2 id="columns">
  Columns
</h2>

* `thread_name` ([String](/reference/data-types/index)) — The name of the thread.
* `thread_id` ([UInt64](/reference/data-types/index)) — The thread identifier
* `query_id` ([String](/reference/data-types/index)) — The ID of the query this thread belongs to.
* `trace` ([Array(UInt64)](/reference/data-types/index)) — The stacktrace of this thread. Basically just an array of addresses.
* `untracked_memory` ([Int64](/reference/data-types/index)) — Per-thread atomic-less counter of memory allocations not yet propagated to the parent MemoryTracker. May be negative if more was freed than allocated since the last flush.

Enabling introspection functions:

```sql theme={null}
SET allow_introspection_functions = 1;
```

Getting symbols from ClickHouse object files:

```sql theme={null}
WITH arrayMap(x -> demangle(addressToSymbol(x)), trace) AS all SELECT thread_name, thread_id, query_id, arrayStringConcat(all, '\n') AS res FROM system.stack_trace LIMIT 1;
```

Getting filenames and line numbers in ClickHouse source code:

```sql theme={null}
