prometheus.exporter.snowflake

The prometheus.exporter.snowflake component embeds snowflake_exporter for collecting warehouse, database, table, and replication statistics from a Snowflake account via HTTP for Prometheus consumption.

Usage

river 
prometheus.exporter.snowflake "LABEL" {
    account_name = ACCOUNT_NAME
    username =     USERNAME
    password =     PASSWORD
    warehouse =    WAREHOUSE
}

Arguments

The following arguments can be used to configure the exporter’s behavior. Omitted fields take their default values.

NameTypeDescriptionDefaultRequired
account_namestringThe account to collect metrics for.yes
usernamestringThe username for the user used when querying metrics.yes
passwordsecretThe password for the user used when querying metrics.yes
rolestringThe role to use when querying metrics."ACCOUNTADMIN"no
warehousestringThe warehouse to use when querying metrics.yes

Blocks

The prometheus.exporter.snowflake component does not support any blocks, and is configured fully through arguments.

Exported fields

The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components.

NameTypeDescription
targetslist(map(string))The targets that can be used to collect exporter metrics.

For example, the targets can either be passed to a discovery.relabel component to rewrite the targets’ label sets, or to a prometheus.scrape component that collects the exposed metrics.

The exported targets will use the configured in-memory traffic address specified by the run command.

Component health

prometheus.exporter.snowflake is only reported as unhealthy if given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values.

Debug information

prometheus.exporter.snowflake does not expose any component-specific debug information.

Debug metrics

prometheus.exporter.snowflake does not expose any component-specific debug metrics.

Example

This example uses a prometheus.scrape component to collect metrics from prometheus.exporter.snowflake:

river 
prometheus.exporter.snowflake "example" {
  account_name = "XXXXXXX-YYYYYYY"
  username     = "grafana"
  password     = "snowflake"
  warehouse    = "examples"
}

// Configure a prometheus.scrape component to collect snowflake metrics.
prometheus.scrape "demo" {
  targets    = prometheus.exporter.snowflake.example.targets
  forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver]
}

prometheus.remote_write "demo" {
  endpoint {
    url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL

    basic_auth {
      username = USERNAME
      password = PASSWORD
    }
  }
}

Replace the following:

  • PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL: The URL of the Prometheus remote_write-compatible server to send metrics to.
  • USERNAME: The username to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
  • PASSWORD: The password to use for authentication to the remote_write API.
