# prometheus.exporter.snowflake

The `prometheus.exporter.snowflake` component embeds [snowflake\_exporter](https://github.com/grafana/snowflake-prometheus-exporter) for collecting warehouse, database, table, and replication statistics from a Snowflake account via HTTP for Prometheus consumption.

## Usage

Alloy ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy

```alloy
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.

Expand table

| Name           | Type     | Description                                           | Default          | Required |
|----------------|----------|-------------------------------------------------------|------------------|----------|
| `account_name` | `string` | The account to collect metrics for.                   |                  | yes      |
| `username`     | `string` | The username for the user used when querying metrics. |                  | yes      |
| `password`     | `secret` | The password for the user used when querying metrics. |                  | yes      |
| `role`         | `string` | The role to use when querying metrics.                | `"ACCOUNTADMIN"` | no       |
| `warehouse`    | `string` | The 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.

Expand table

| Name      | Type                | Description                                               |
|-----------|---------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `targets` | `list(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 use the configured [in-memory traffic](/docs/agent/latest/flow/concepts/component_controller/#in-memory-traffic) address specified by the [run command](/docs/agent/latest/flow/reference/cli/run/).

## 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](../prometheus.scrape/) to collect metrics from `prometheus.exporter.snowflake`:

Alloy ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy

```alloy
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.
