Changelog

Object tags allow Snowflake users to better monitor objects, as well as facilitate data governance operations, such as auditing and reporting. We have added support for filtering and displaying and slicing by warehouse, user, role, and database tags on SELECT.

To help provide users with more actionable optimization insights, we’ve improved our Insights feature by adding suggested query changes.

We've launched automated workload summaries! These summaries tell you important details about a workload, including the overall logic, common elements across queries, and run history patterns.

Snowflake users commonly think about costs on a per-query basis and need to track queries from specific dashboards or models. This week we have released the Query History tab on SELECT to help you analyze query costs and filter queries by dashboards and models.

We’ve launched new sidebar notifications to proactively notify you of important updates, including errors in your SELECT account, product updates, and incidents we're experiencing.

We’ve redesigned the filters UI to appear inline for a cleaner, more accessible experience—no more hidden drop downs.

We’ve launched automated query summaries! These summaries help you understand the logic, performance, and potential bottlenecks of a query without the need to scrutinize complex SQL queries with large query profiles.

We’ve redesigned the sidebar with a focus on flexibility—resize it or hide it completely for a full-screen data experience.

To give larger organizations more flexibility on Role Based Access Control (RBAC), we’ve introduced Teams and new Roles.

While SELECT offers many types of monitors you can now use Custom SQL Monitors to get alerted on anything in your Snowflake account that can be returned by a SQL query.

To build more powerful alert and enable our users to be more responsive to costly changes, we have added our new expanded filtering experience to workload and organization spend monitors.

Our lineage graph now shows views, stages, and streams, in addition to the tables and workloads that we were showing previously.

To help users better understand their storage costs and data usage patterns, we revamped our storage page by adding new dedicated views for databases, schemas and tables.

We’ve added support for reporting on costs and performance of Sigma workloads.

To help users understand their total data asset cost and better understand dependencies, we’ve extended our lineage feature to add first class support for Snowpipes and Dynamic Tables.

To help users more easily diagnose problematic workloads, we’ve added filters to workload monitors to give you more flexibility with what resources you get alerted on.

We’re excited to announce the release of data lineage to help users understand their total data asset cost, ensure ROI from their data products and ultimately optimize costs.

Staying on top of your Snowflake environment is challenging, with new workloads being added or changed each day. To help users stay on top of critical activity in their account, we've added the ability for users to configure workload monitors

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.
