Compute cost delta dashboard
See which warehouses’ compute costs are rising or falling. The Compute cost delta dashboard compares compute cost for each warehouse across the last 6 months, 6 weeks, or 6 days, and shows the percent change from one period to the next.
Roles for viewing this dashboard
- Tenant admin
Access the dashboard
- From the left navigation menu, go to Dashboards, then Compute cost delta.
- Choose Monthly, Weekly, or Daily to set the length of each period. The default is Monthly.
- Optionally, narrow the warehouses you compare with the filters.
Read the table
Each row is a warehouse. The table shows the last 6 periods, starting with the current one.
- Warehouse name: the Snowflake warehouse the cost was incurred on
- Account name: the Snowflake account the warehouse belongs to
- Period columns: the warehouse’s compute cost for each period. Column headers update to match the granularity you choose.
- Δ% columns: the percent change compared with the prior period. Cost increases are highlighted as unfavorable, and decreases as favorable. A dash (-) means the prior period had no cost, so there’s nothing to compare. The oldest period has no Δ% column.
ℹ️
The first period is still in progress. Its percent change compares cost to date against the full prior period, so early in a period it can look lower than it will end up.
Resize columns to focus on what matters, and show 10 or 25 rows per page.
ℹ️
The table shows up to 10,000 warehouses, keeping your costliest. If you reach the limit, the table’s subtitle says Limited to the top 10,000 warehouses by cost. Use the filters to narrow the set.
Filter the data
- Tag: Slingshot org tags, or a Snowflake or external tag on a warehouse
- Account: warehouses in the selected Snowflake accounts
- Region: warehouses in the selected cloud regions
- Warehouse: only the selected warehouses. The list shows up to 1,000 of your costliest warehouses. If a warehouse you want isn’t listed, narrow the table with Account, Region, or Tag instead.
Select Clear to reset these filters. The Monthly, Weekly, or Daily choice stays as you set it.
Export and take action
- Export CSV: download the table as a CSV file.
- Go to Optimizations: open Snowflake optimizations to find savings on the warehouses whose costs are climbing.
- Data last refreshed shows how current the data is.
