Overview

Snowflake monitoring uses a remote monitoring approach implemented as a Dynatrace ActiveGate extension. The extension queries the Account Usage and Information Schema for key performance and health metrics, extending your visibility and allowing Dynatrace Intelligence to detect anomalies and support problem analysis.

Use cases

  • monitor Snowflake data pipelines: detect unexpected drops or spikes in row counts or query outputs, improving reliability of analytics and ETL workflows.
  • unify BI & Application Observability: combine Snowflake data with application telemetry to pinpoint downstream impacts of data latency or schema changes.
  • automate based on Snowflake conditions: trigger workflows based on query results, enabling automated actions when thresholds, business rules, or anomalies are detected.

Get started

For more information on the installation and configuration, please see Snowflake extension in the Dynatrace Documentation.

Details

  • Snowflake Query Ingestion: execute Snowflake queries and ingest results as BizEvents or Grail records. Columns become indexed fields available for analysis.
  • Operational Visibility: monitor data volumes and detect anomalies in Snowflake-driven pipelines, using Extensions 2.0 combined with Grail analytics.
  • Performance & Cost Awareness: track Snowflake query behavior, compute usage, and workload patterns to understand consumption and efficiency.
  • Data Enrichment: merge Snowflake data with existing telemetry in Dynatrace for holistic investigations, dashboards, and workflows.
  • Secure, governed access: ingested Snowflake data respects Snowflake’s permission model and data governance practices.

⚠️WARNING⚠️: Possible breaking changes and warnings - PLEASE READ before upgrading:

  • This version requires a minimum Dynatrace version of 1.338.0 and a minimum EEC version of 1.265.0.
  • This version includes a breaking change for Dynatrace on Grail.
    • With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any metrics ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline.
    • This means that any dynamic route configured to process any metrics from the extension will be dropped in favor of the dedicated pipeline. Please, refer to pipeline groups to continue using dynamic routes.
    • With the inclusion of OpenPipeline processing rules, any logs ingested from the extension will be processed by a dedicated OpenPipeline pipeline instead of the classic log pipeline.
    • This means that classic rules will no longer be used on logs ingested from the extension. Please be sure to migrate any you still need to OpenPipeline rules.
    • Additionally, some field names are handled differently in OpenPipeline, e.g. capitalization. Please double-check any custom dashboards and alerts you have created for this extension.
    • You must opt-in to OpenPipeline configuration via Settings API – see the documentation.

New in this version:

  • Smartscape on Grail.
  • Added feature set metadata for recommended metrics.

Full version history

v2.0.0

Breaking changes: monitoring configurations will have to be recreated to upgrade to this version.

Features:

  • Availability metric snowflake.account.availability that gets reported every minute and does not use a warehouse, meaning that it does not consume credits and allows warehouse to split.

Improvements:

  • Feature sets were renamed to better represent underlying technology.
  • Account entity can be detected from Logs in addition to being detected based on Metrics.

Bug fixes:

  • status attribute for Failed Queries and Longest Queries was renamed to execution_status to avoid conflict with built-in Dynatrace logs status property.

Full version history

The extension has been reworked to better reflect the existing Snowflake monitoring requirements. Account level metrics from ACCOUNT_USAGE schema are collected every 12 hours. Additionally, failed queries and top slowest queries are monitored every hour, if the corresponding feature sets are enabled.

Full version history

  • Updated dashboard to follow standardized look and feel

Full version history

Changes in this release

  • Metric fetching frequency reduced to once per 30 min.
