Internal statistic sources

Materialize comes with a number of sources that contain internal statistics about the instance’s behavior. These are kept in a “hidden” schema called mz_catalog.

To view the internal statistic sources use:

SHOW SOURCES FROM mz_catalog;

To select from these sources, you must specify that you want to read from the source in the mz_catalog schema.
