# EVENT TABLE

Config path: `/<database>/<schema>/event_table/<name>.yaml`

Example:

```yaml
change_tracking: true
comment: Event table tracking UDF execution logs
```

## Schema

* **change\_tracking** (bool) - enable CHANGE TRACKING
* **comment** (str)

## Usage notes

1. **retention\_time, cluster\_by, search\_optimization** parameters are currently not supported due to unclear value specifically for event tables with logs. These parameters can be supported in future after event tables reach "general availability".
2. You may attach event table to [DATABASE](/basic/yaml-configs/database.md) using parameter `event_table`. As of March 2026, this operation requires ACCOUNTADMIN privileges.
