Snowflake Monitor

The fastest way to understand your Snowflake costs and get more value from every credit

Snowflake can scale anything you throw at it—but that power makes it hard to see where credits go, why workloads slow down, and how to curb surprise bills across accounts. Engineering, FinOps, and data leaders often lack a consolidated, shareable view of credit consumption, query efficiency, and storage growth, making it challenging to control budgets, justify spend, or spot performance bottlenecks early.

​

The QBeeQ Snowflake Monitor turns Snowflake’s native usage data into clear visuals you can share broadly—no custom ETL, no elevated Snowflake access required. Connect once and get instant visibility into cost drivers, warehouse utilization, failed tasks, and pipeline slowdowns across single accounts or your entire organization, with fast time-to-value and actionable insights out of the box.

A Sisense dashboard displays an overview of account metrics including total query cost at $416.38, total credits used at 138.21, and total queries at 103,554. Visuals include line graphs tracking a sharp decline in cost and usage from last month to this month, with detailed stats on compute, tasks, cloud services, and materialized views—all indicating minimal usage in the current month.

Snowflake Monitor Key Benefits:

​

  • Complete Visibility: See your entire Snowflake environment at a glance — from compute and storage to tasks, queries, and ingestion pipelines

​

  • Smarter Cost Control: Understand exactly where credits go. Break down spend by user, warehouse, query, or workload, and pinpoint the drivers behind rising costs

​

  • Optimize Performance: Identify costly long-running queries, overloaded warehouses, or failing tasks before they impact your business. 

​

  • Fast & Easy Deployment: Prebuilt, Sisense-powered dashboards are plug-and-play. Connect to Snowflake and start uncovering insights immediately without requiring custom ETL or complex BI builds 

​

  • Democratized Access: Empower finance, engineering, and business teams with self-serve monitoring. No need for elevated Snowflake admin privileges — insights are securely available in Sisense

​

  • Smarter Storage Management: Track storage growth, identify old or unnecessary datasets, and keep retention costs under control

​

  • Actionable Visuals: Interactive charts, heatmaps, and drilldowns make it easy to explore usage patterns, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and take action quickly​​​​

A Snowflake Tasks dashboard outlines metrics like 71.32 total credits used, $207.84 in estimated query cost, and 17 total tasks (5 serverless). A line graph charts credits used, query costs, and elapsed time over time, with a notable spike near week 18 of 2025. Lower bar charts estimate usage by database for November 2024 through January 2025.
The Snowflake Pipe dashboard shows pipe-related metrics, including 11 pipes, $28,339.31 in total query cost, and 9,463.18 total credits used. A descending trend in cost over the last six months is plotted, alongside two colorful horizontal bar charts comparing query costs and credits used by various databases such as PANYNI_PORTS_DB and ORLANDO_DB.

Snowflake Monitor gives you the clarity, control, and confidence you need to get the most out of your Snowflake investment. With instant visibility into usage, costs, and performance, you can eliminate waste, prevent surprises, and empower every team to make smarter decisions. Fast to deploy and simple to use, it transforms raw data into actionable insights — so your business can scale analytics with efficiency and confidence.
