System table `system.merge_tree_settings` shows the globally set MergeTree settings.
MergeTree settings can be set in the `merge_tree` section of the server config file, or specified for each `MergeTree` table individually in
the `SETTINGS` clause of the `CREATE TABLE` statement.
Example for customizing setting `max_suspicious_broken_parts`:
Configure the default for all `MergeTree` tables in the server configuration file:
```text theme={null}
5
```
Set for a particular table:
```sql theme={null}
CREATE TABLE tab
(
`A` Int64
)
ENGINE = MergeTree
ORDER BY tuple()
SETTINGS max_suspicious_broken_parts = 500;
```
Change the settings for a particular table using `ALTER TABLE ... MODIFY SETTING`:
```sql theme={null}
ALTER TABLE tab MODIFY SETTING max_suspicious_broken_parts = 100;
-- reset to global default (value from system.merge_tree_settings)
ALTER TABLE tab RESET SETTING max_suspicious_broken_parts;
```
