+This file includes named collections required for Aspects dictionaries to work.
+This will be read from a mount on
+/etc/clickhouse-server/config.d/named_collections.xml
+on startup. Named collections allow configuration to talk to external
+or internal services using stored credentials. We use them to create
+dictionaries on local queries, but credentials are still required.
+By placing them in named collections we can change the ClickHouse
+admin password without having to disrupt the dictionary caching.
+https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/named-collections
+
+If you are creating your own dictionaries that reference other databases, you
+may need to add more named collections here first.
