Resource Monitor Introduction


We hardly talk about resource monitors and its role in snowflake, but there
are so much to cover when it comes to snowflake resource monitor, and
there is lack of good content in the web. In the pay-as-you go era, having a
good understanding about Resource Monitor is must.

Snowflake offers resource monitors as a means of assisting in cost


management and preventing unforeseen credit usage brought on by
operating warehouses. While it’s running, a virtual warehouse uses up
Snowflake credits.

A resource monitor can only suspend user-managed virtual warehouses


based on credit usage thresholds, but it can track credit usage by both user-
managed and virtual warehouses utilised by cloud services. After a user-
managed warehouse is suspended, credit consumption for cloud services
may still be allowed.

The amount of credits used is determined on the size and duration of the
warehouse.

Limits may be established for a certain timeframe or range of dates. The


resource monitor can cause a number of actions, such as issuing alarm alerts
and/or halting user-managed warehouses, when certain limitations are
reached and/or are approaching.

Only account administrators (i.e., users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role) are
able to establish resource monitors, but account administrators can decide to
allow users with other privileges to view and change resource monitors using
SQL.

Every database in an account that uses Snowflake has a schema called


INFORMATION SCHEMA that implements the Information Schema.

The power of Snowflake Information Schema is not well known and the
usefulness it brings to data developers and data ops engineers are not
discussed anywhere. (Watch complete video )
