Contract analysis dashboard
Monitor your Snowflake credit allowance and usage so your spend stays on pace for the contract period. The Contract analysis dashboard shows how much of your contract you’ve used, how much is left, where your usage was drawn from, and whether you’re on track to use too many or too few credits.
Roles for viewing this dashboard
- Tenant admin
Access the dashboard
- From the left navigation menu, go to Dashboards, then Contract analysis.
- If you have more than one Snowflake contract, choose one from the Contract Number drop-down. The dashboard shows the first contract by default.
Contract health at a glance
Eight metrics summarize the selected contract:
- Contract Period: the start and end dates of the contract.
- Credits used: credits drawn from your contract so far: capacity, rollover, and free usage, net of rebates. Overage is billed separately and isn’t included.
- Remaining balance: credit left on your contract: your capacity, rollover, and free usage balances. Overage isn’t included.
- Contract Amount: the total value of the contract for its full term.
- Daily Average Usage: your average daily usage cost since the contract started.
- Daily Target Usage: the average daily usage that would use your full contract amount evenly by the contract end date. Compare it with Daily Average Usage to see whether you’re on track.
- Projected Credit Usage: your usage pace as a percentage of the contract. Over 100% means you’re on pace to use more credits than you purchased.
- Runout Forecast: the date your remaining balance is projected to run out, based on your last 30 days of usage. It shows Not available when there isn’t enough recent usage to make a projection.
Charts
- Cumulative usage costs for contract period: month by month, the usage drawn from your contract to date (Cumulative usage), on-demand usage billed beyond your contract balances (Overage usage), and your Budget remaining at the end of each month.
- Daily usage cost: your daily usage for the most recent 30 days of data, broken down by the balance it was paid from: Capacity, Rollover, Free, Overage, Rebate, or Other.
Tables
- Credit usage by balance source: total usage since the contract started, by the balance it was drawn from. Rebates appear as negative amounts. Other covers usage that Snowflake reports under a different balance type.
- Remaining balance: what’s left in each balance type on the contract. Overage shows on-demand usage beyond your contract, which is billed separately.
ℹ️
Charts show usage within Slingshot’s data retention period. If your contract started before that period, you might see partial history for earlier months.
