Snowflake Documentation

Cost (Snowflake)

The Cost page offers features designed to optimize your data operations while keeping costs in check. You can manage your costs by viewing the insights from the Cost dashboards.

The reports enable you to precisely identify who incurs expenses, where you can allocate those expenses, and the reasons behind them. You can break down and allocate costs based on various criteria such as department, team, workload, application, and even at the level of individual jobs or users.

Unravel’s Cost page allows you to:

  • View, understand, attribute, and monitor your costs within Snowflake. Get clarity on where your expenses are incurred and how they evolve over time.

  • Easily access and evaluate the total compute cost associated with your Snowflake usage.

  • Identify and analyze the most expensive warehouses and users in your Snowflake environment.

The Snowflake Cost tab consists of Cost 360 page and Tags page.
