1. Snowflake setup guide

Create a Snowflake role and user

Generate a password for the Paradime user and replace the placeholder text <your_generated_password_here> in the step below.

-- 1.### create user and role

use role useradmin;
create user if not exists paradime_cost_user
  password = '<your_generated_password_here>'
  default_role = paradime_cost_role
  default_warehouse = paradime_warehouse
  comment = 'Used by paradime.io for cost analytics';

create role if not exists paradime_cost_role comment = 'Used by paradime.io for cost analytics';
grant role paradime_cost_role to role sysadmin;
grant role paradime_cost_role to user paradime_cost_user;

Create a Snowflake warehouse 

-- 2.### create warehouse

use role sysadmin;
create warehouse if not exists paradime_warehouse
  warehouse_size=xsmall
  auto_suspend=60
  initially_suspended=true
  comment = 'Used by paradime.io for cost analytics';
  
grant monitor, operate, usage, modify
  on warehouse paradime_warehouse to role paradime_cost_role;

Create S3 integration

Before running this command, you will need to update STORAGE_AWS_ROLE_ARN and STORAGE_ALLOWED_LOCATIONS with your own region and company token.

You can find the region and company token in the Paradime workspace settings page. Company & Workspace token

-- 3.### Create S3 integration

use role accountadmin;

create or replace storage integration PARADIME_S3_STORAGE_INTEGRATION
    type = external_stage
    storage_provider = 'S3'
    enabled = true
    STORAGE_AWS_ROLE_ARN = 'arn:aws:iam::817727247863:role/paradime-snowflake-role-<your_paradime_region>-<your_company_token>'  -- replace company token and region before running this command
    STORAGE_ALLOWED_LOCATIONS = ('s3://paradime-s3-<your_company_token>-<your_paradime_region>/snowflake/');  -- replace company token and region before running this command
    
grant usage on integration PARADIME_S3_STORAGE_INTEGRATION to role paradime_cost_role;

If you have set PREVENT_UNLOAD_TO_INLINE_URL to true, you can optionally use a named stage. To set this up run the below script. Before running this command, you will need to update URL with your own region and company token. You can find the region and company token in the Paradime workspace settings page. Company & Workspace token

-- 3.### Optional when using a named stage

use role accountadmin;

create stage PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE.PARADIME_EXPORT
    url='s3://paradime-s3-<your_company_token>-<your_paradime_region>/snowflake/' -- replace company token and region before running this command
    storage_integration = PARADIME_S3_STORAGE_INTEGRATION;

grant usage on stage PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE.PARADIME_EXPORT to role paradime_cost_role;

Create a new database and schema for Paradime

-- 4. ### create paradime db and schemas and grant access

use role accountadmin;

create or replace database PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS;

create or replace schema PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE;

grant usage on database  PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS to role paradime_cost_role;

grant usage on schema  PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE to role paradime_cost_role;

Create a new Snowflake file format


-- 5.### Create fileformat and grant privileges

use role accountadmin;

create or replace file format PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE.PARADIME_JSON_FORMAT
    type = JSON
    NULL_IF = ();

grant all privileges on file format PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE.PARADIME_JSON_FORMAT to paradime_cost_role;

Grant access to Snowflake metadata to the Paradime user

-- 6.### grant access to Snowflake metadata

use role accountadmin;

grant imported privileges on database snowflake to role paradime_cost_role;

Enable the Paradime user to manage and monitor Snowflake Warehouses 

-- 7.### grant access to monitor warehouses

use role accountadmin;

grant monitor usage on account to role paradime_cost_role;


--- ### grant paradime the access to manage warehouses
use role accountadmin;

grant manage warehouses on account to role paradime_cost_role;

--- ### grant paradime the access to manage tasks
use role accountadmin; 

grant create TASK on schema  PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS.CORE to role paradime_cost_role;

grant execute TASK on ACCOUNT TO ROLE paradime_cost_role;

Ensure your account has ORGADMIN access

Paradime relies on views from the snowflake.organization_usage such as the snowflake.organization_usage.rate_sheet_daily view is used to retrieve your daily rate for each Snowflake service (example the cost per credit for compute resources and cost per terabyte for storage).

To verify if these views are populated in your account, please execute the following SQL statement:

--- ### check the rate_sheet_daily view contains data
use role accountadmin;

select * from snowflake.organization_usage.rate_sheet_daily;

If records are returned, you're all set 🙌

-------

If the SQL statement returns no records, it likely means that the ORGADMIN role is not enabled for the account. To enable it, follow these steps:

  1. Log into a Snowflake account within your organization that has the ORGADMIN role enabled (at least one account should have this role).

  2. Navigate to the sidebar and click on "Admin" and then "Accounts".

  3. Locate the account you want to connect to Paradime enable the ORGADMIN role for that account.

💡 It can take up to 1 day for these views become populated with data after running this statement

Purchased your Snowflake credits through a reseller?

If you purchased your Snowflake contract or credits through a reseller, such as the AWS Marketplace, you will not have access to the organization_usage views even after executing the steps mentioned above to enable the ORGADMIN role. Share a copy of your latest Snowflake invoice with the Paradime team (via chat or by emailing support@paradime.io so that we can manually input the applicable rates for your account.

2. dbt™️ project setup guide

Create a macro to manage query comments

To enable Paradime to enrich your Snowflake queries with additional metadata you will need to create a new dbt™️ macro called get_query_comment.sql in the macros folder of your project.

Update your dbt_project.yml file

This step ensures that with each dbt™️ run, the query comment is appended to the query running in Snowflake.

dbt_project.yml
query-comment:
  comment: '{{ get_query_comment(node) }}'
  append: true

3. Configured Cost connection in Paradime

From the account setting page of your Paradime workspace, add your new Snowflake Cost connection using the credentials below:

  • You Snowflake Account Identifier

  • The Paradime Database created during the Snowflake Setup. This is named as: PARADIME_COST_ANALYTICS

  • The Paradime cost username and password, where the username is paradime_cost_user, and the password generated during the setup.
