Documentation Grafana Alloy Reference Components prometheus prometheus.exporter.snowflake

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

Password Authentication

alloy Copy

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

Replace the following:

• <ACCOUNT_NAME>: The Snowflake account name you are collecting metrics from.
• <USERNAME>: The username used to query metrics.
• <PASSWORD>: The password for the user used to query metrics.
• <WAREHOUSE>: The virtual warehouse to use when querying metrics.

RSA Authentication

alloy Copy

prometheus.exporter.snowflake "LABEL" {
    account_name =         <ACCOUNT_NAME>
    username =             <USERNAME>
    private_key_path =     <PRIVATE_KEY_PATH>
    private_key_password = <PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD>
    warehouse =            <WAREHOUSE>
}

Replace the following:

• <ACCOUNT_NAME>: The Snowflake account name you are collecting metrics from.
• <USERNAME>: The username used to query metrics.
• <PRIVATE_KEY_PATH>: The path to the user’s RSA private key file.
• <PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD>: The password for the user’s RSA private key.
• <WAREHOUSE>: The virtual warehouse to use when querying metrics.

Arguments

The following arguments can be used to configure the exporter’s behavior. Omitted fields take their default values. One of password or private_key_path must be specified to authenticate. Users with an encrypted private key will also need to provide a private_key_password.

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.

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 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:

alloy Copy

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.
