Changelog

To help users more easily manage their Usage Groups, we’ve added support for object tags. Automatically assign users, roles, warehouses, databases to Usage Groups based on any Snowflake object tag associated with that resource.

To help users get better visibility into key changes in their Snowflake account, we’ve rebuilt our monitors experience from the ground up.

The query profile is a source of invaluable information, but often hard to digest due to the amount of data available. In this release, we’ve re-designed it to make it easier to identify opportunities for optimization.

To help streamline these investigations, we're excited to announce the release of synchronized charts. Synchronized charts allow you to easily trends across multiple charts in order to quickly pinpoint root causes.

Users can now get an overview of spend by Usage Group on the home page, including a table with quick insights into the Usage Groups with the highest cost increases.

Usage group definitions can now be managed externally via the use of JSON or YAML configurations.

SELECT now enables you to track statistics about your users login and usage activity. Now you can identify which accounts are most active, or which are no longer active.

When sharing URLs from SELECT, dynamic date ranges (i.e. last 30 days) will be respected and re-calculated when re-opening the link.

Improved visibility into your SSO group mappings to SELECT users.

SELECT users can now easily monitor freshness and row count changes across all their tables, with 365 days of history.

Usage group definitions are now versioned, providing a history of changes and ability to restore from any point.

Usage group updates are now tracked and can be restored from the version history.

Default roles are now available to simplify the process of assigning an initial role to new users who enter SELECT.
