The business capability supported by Snowflake for any customer is designed around virtual warehouses. The performance and availability of each of the warehouse is critical to business, so it is absolutely important for administrators to keep an eye on warehouse related statistics like running statements, queued statements and warehouse compute capacity available. These metrics help them predict the load on warehouse and take any measures to avoid warehouse failure. This test monitors the user account and collects statistics related to warehouse availability status, status of query statements etc. These metrics provide valuable insights to the administrators about the current working condition of warehouse.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for each warehouse in the Snowflake service account being monitored.

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Status	Indicates the status of the warehouse whether it is started, running, or inactive.	Boolean
RunningStatements	Indicates the total number of running statement during the last measurement period.	Number	A very high number of running statements can be concerning as it is holding on to compute resources.
QueueingStatements	Indicates the total number of queuing statement during the last measurement period.	Number	A very high number of queueing statements can be concerning as the queuing time will increase.
AvailablePercentage	Indicates the percentage of the warehouse compute resources that are provisioned and are available.	Percentage	Less than 100 percent is a cause for concern.
ProvisionPercentage	Indicates the percentage of the warehouse compute resources that are in the process of provisioning.	Percentage	A high value can indicate: a configuration problem with the server / clients. some malicious attack on the server
QuecingPercentage	Indicates the percentage of the warehouse compute resources that are executing SQL statements but will be shut down once the queries are complete.	Percentage
