Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, D, F

According to the Snowflake documentation1, resource monitors are a feature that helps you manage and control Snowflake costs by monitoring and setting limits on your compute resources. Resource monitors do not consume any credits or add any load to the virtual warehouses they monitor1. Resource monitors can also have multiple triggers that specify different actions (such as suspending or notifying) when certain percentages of the credit quota are reached2. Resource monitors can be applied to either the entire account or a specific set of individual warehouses1. The other options are not benefits of resource monitors. The cost of running a resource monitor is negligible, not 10% of a credit3. Multiple resource monitors cannot be applied to a single virtual warehouse; only one resource monitor can be assigned to a warehouse at a time2. Resource monitor governance is not tightly controlled; account administrators can enable users with other roles to view and modify resource monitors using SQL2.

Resource monitor governance is super strict, right? Only ACCOUNTADMIN can create them?

I recall that only certain roles can create resource monitors, but I can't remember if it's just the ACCOUNTADMIN or if there are others too.

I practiced a question about resource monitors adding load, and I think they actually don't add any load to the compute, right?

I think multiple resource monitors can be set for a single warehouse, but I might be mixing it up with how they can be applied to multiple warehouses.

Whoa, this is a lot of information to digest. I'm a little confused about how resource monitors actually work and what the specific benefits are. I'll have to guess on this one and hope for the best.

Okay, I think I've got a good strategy here. The ability to apply multiple monitors to a single warehouse and configure custom triggers are definitely big advantages. I'll make sure to select those.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure about the cost and load implications of resource monitors. I'll need to re-read that part carefully before selecting my answers.

I'm pretty confident I can handle this one. The key benefits seem to be the ability to monitor multiple warehouses, set custom triggers, and have tight governance controls. I'll make sure to select the three most relevant options.

Option B and F are definitely the way to go. Applying multiple resource monitors to a single virtual warehouse and across multiple warehouses is where the real power lies. This gives you granular control over your resource utilization.
