snow app events¶

Fetches events for this app from the event table configured in Snowflake. By default, this command will fetch events generated by an app installed in the current connection’s account. To fetch events generated by an app installed in a consumer account, use the –consumer-org and –consumer-account options. This requires event sharing to be set up to route events to the provider account: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/native-apps/setting-up-logging-and-events

Usage notes¶

Note

Before using this command, you must set up event handling for the provider Snowflake account. For information, see Logging, tracing, and metrics.

The snow app events command retrieves events generated by an installed native application installed in the current connection’s account.

By default, this command will fetch events generated by a Snowflake Native App installed in the current connection’s account. To fetch events generated by a Snowflake Native App installed in a consumer account, use the --consumer-org and --consumer-account options. These options require event sharing to be set up to route events to the provider account.

Examples¶

  • Retrieve all events for an application installed in the provider account.

    snow app events
    
    Copy
  • Retrieve a subset of events for an application installed in the provider account.

    # Limiting the number of events
    snow app events --first 10
    snow app events --last 10
    
    # Narrowing the time range using interval syntax
    snow app events --since '5 minutes'
    snow app events --until '1 hour'
    
    # Filtering events
    snow app events --type log
    snow app events --scope com.myapp.MyClass1 --scope com.myapp.MyClass2
    
    Copy
  • Retrieve events for a consumer installation.

    snow app events --consumer-org <organization-name> --consumer-account <account-name>
    
    Copy
  • Retrieve events for a consumer application using the hashed application name.

    snow app events --consumer-org <organization-name> --consumer-account <account-name> --consumer-app-hash cafc10bf6a5deb574ada0e3a009b63bbbe9bdb84
    
    Copy
  • Retrieve events as JSON.

    snow app events --format json
