# Snowflake Alerts

> Reference for Radar's Snowflake Data Alerts covering account, warehouse, user, dbt™ model, and query compute cost anomalies with thresholds and examples.

Radar's Snowflake Data Alerts detect compute cost spikes and query anomalies across your Snowflake account. Enable and tune each alert on the **Snowflake** tab of the Radar **Data Alerts** page. See [Configure Alerts](/products/radar/real-time-alerting/configure-alerts) for how to set thresholds and destinations.

## Available alerts

| Alert                                   | Triggered when                                                                                                                                                                                                        | Threshold   | Example |
| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------- |
| **Account Compute Cost Anomaly**        | A Snowflake account's compute cost exceeds a set percentage above its 7-day average.                                                                                                                                  | % Change    | `20`    |
| **Warehouse Compute Cost Anomaly**      | A Snowflake warehouse's compute cost exceeds a set percentage above its 7-day average.                                                                                                                                | % Change    | `20`    |
| **User Compute Cost Anomaly**           | A Snowflake user's compute cost exceeds a set percentage above their 7-day average.                                                                                                                                   | % Change    | `20`    |
| **dbt™ Compute Cost Anomaly**           | A dbt™ model's Snowflake cost exceeds a set percentage above its 7-day average. Tracks your top 10 most expensive dbt™ models.                                                                                        | % Change    | `20`    |
| **Query Compute Cost Anomaly**          | A specific query's Snowflake cost exceeds a set percentage above its 7-day average. Tracks your top 10 most expensive queries.                                                                                        | % Change    | `20`    |
| **Query Remote Spillage Ratio Anomaly** | A query's bytes spilled to remote storage exceed a set multiple of total bytes scanned. Tracks your top 10 most expensive queries crossing this threshold. High spillage means performance problems and higher costs. | Abs. Change | `5`     |

<Info>
  Each alert also has a **Minimum value** floor that must be met alongside the percentage (or absolute) change. See [Configure Alerts](/products/radar/real-time-alerting/configure-alerts#enable-and-tune-an-alert).
