Notable Event Types

On this page Carat arrow pointing down

Certain notable events are reported using a structured format. Commonly, these notable events are also copied to the table system.eventlog, unless the cluster setting server.eventlog.enabled is unset.

Additionally, notable events are copied to specific external logging channels in log messages, where they can be collected for further processing.

The sections below document the possible notable event types in this version of CockroachDB. For each event type, a table documents the possible fields. A field may be omitted from an event if its value is empty or zero.

A field is also considered "Sensitive" if it may contain application-specific information or personally identifiable information (PII). In that case, the copy of the event sent to the external logging channel will contain redaction markers in a format that is compatible with the redaction facilities in cockroach debug zip and cockroach debug merge-logs, provided the redactable functionality is enabled on the logging sink.

Events not documented on this page will have an unstructured format in log messages.

Cluster-level events

Events in this category pertain to an entire cluster and are not relative to any particular tenant.

In a multi-tenant setup, the system.eventlog table for individual tenants cannot contain a copy of cluster-level events; conversely, the system.eventlog table in the system tenant cannot contain the SQL-level events for individual tenants.

Events in this category are logged to the OPS channel.

Field Description Sensitive

EventType The type of the event. no

schema_descriptor

An event of type schema_descriptor is an event for schema telemetry, whose purpose is to take periodic snapshots of the cluster's SQL schema and publish them in the telemetry log channel. For all intents and purposes, the data in such a snapshot can be thought of the outer join of certain system tables: namespace, descriptor, and at some point perhaps zones, etc.

Snapshots are too large to conveniently be published as a single log event, so instead they're broken down into SchemaDescriptor events which contain the data in one record of this outer join projection. These events are prefixed by a header (a SchemaSnapshotMetadata event).

Field Description Sensitive
SnapshotID SnapshotID is the unique identifier of the snapshot that this event is part of. no
ParentDatabaseID ParentDatabaseID matches the same key column in system.namespace. no
ParentSchemaID ParentSchemaID matches the same key column in system.namespace. no
Name Name matches the same key column in system.namespace. no
DescID DescID matches the 'id' column in system.namespace and system.descriptor. no
Desc Desc matches the 'descriptor' column in system.descriptor. Some contents of the descriptor may be redacted to prevent leaking PII. no

Common fields

An event of type schema_snapshot_metadata is an event describing a schema snapshot, which is a set of SchemaDescriptor messages sharing the same SnapshotID.

Field Description Sensitive
SnapshotID SnapshotID is the unique identifier of this snapshot. no
NumRecords NumRecords is how many SchemaDescriptor events are in the snapshot. no
AsOfTimestamp AsOfTimestamp is when the snapshot was taken. This is equivalent to the timestamp given in the AS OF SYSTEM TIME clause when querying the namespace and descriptor tables in the system database. Expressed as nanoseconds since the Unix epoch. no
Errors Errors records any errors encountered when post-processing this snapshot, which includes the redaction of any potential PII. yes

Common fields

Field Description Sensitive
Timestamp The timestamp of the event. Expressed as nanoseconds since the Unix epoch. no
EventType The type of the event. no

Zone config events

Events in this category pertain to zone configuration changes on the SQL schema or system ranges.

When zone configs apply to individual tables or other objects in a SQL logical schema, they are relative to a particular SQL tenant. In a multi-tenant setup, copies of these zone config events are preserved in each tenant's own system.eventlog table.

When they apply to cluster-level ranges (e.g., the system zone config), they are stored in the system tenant's own system.eventlog table.

Events in this category are logged to the OPS channel.

remove_zone_config

Enumeration types

AuthFailReason

AuthFailReason is the inventory of possible reasons for an authentication failure.

Value Textual alias in code or documentation Description
0 UNKNOWN is reported when the reason is unknown.

2 USER_NOT_FOUND occurs when the principal is unknown.
3 LOGIN_DISABLED occurs when the user does not have LOGIN privileges.
4 METHOD_NOT_FOUND occurs when no HBA rule matches or the method does not exist.
