What to do if you keep getting an error connecting snowflake account in Spendview ? 

 

There are couple of things you can consider in case you are struggling with connecting your Snowflake account to Spendview.

First of all, we have a step by step guide in our documentation that we encourage you to read, you can find it over here: https://docs.dataops.live/docs/spendview-for-snowflake/get-started/

Otherwise there are few things to consider connecting Snowflake account to Spendview:

When entering Account in registration form it helps you to autoformat the Account field.  

But make sure you pass the Account name in expected format,

  1. in case you are using account URL, you can get it here:

Here is an example account URL is: https://sp42605.eu-west-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com

Expected input in account field would be: sp42605.eu-west-2.aws

  1. Example account identifier: ZDXUPXD.INTERNAL_REPORTING

Expected input for the account field would be: ZDXUPXD-INTERNAL_REPORTING (please note that dot (.) changes to dash (-).

Please also consider following limitations:

  • at the moment, Spendview only supports Username/Password authentication method,
  • at the moment Spendview does not support SSO or accounts behind private link

We’ve  just released an update to the registration form! 

  • Now you can enable/disable assistance with trimming your account by checking or unchecking “Trim Account” switch. In case it’s enabled we’ll try to autoformat Snowflake URL or Account Identifier. But if you already have Snowflake Account URL or identifier in the right format you can disable it. 
  • We’ve also added a possibility define Snowflake ROLE, if Role is not provided we’ll use default role that is configured for your user. so if you are not explicitly providing Snowflake Role please make sure that default role has right access to ACCOUNT_USAGE schema.
