<service_name>!SPCS_GET_EVENTS¶

Returns the events that Snowflake collected for the specified service. For more information, see Accessing platform events.

Note

The function is supported only for services and jobs created in release 9.20 or later.

See also:: Monitoring Services

Syntax¶

<service_name>!SPCS_GET_EVENTS(
  [ START_TIME => <constant_expr> ],
  [ END_TIME => <constant_expr> ] )

Copy

Arguments¶

START_TIME => constant_expr

Start time (in TIMESTAMP_LTZ format) for the time range from which to retrieve events. For available functions to construct data, time, and timestamp data, see Date & time functions.

If the START_TIME is not specified, it defaults to one day ago.

END_TIME => constant_expr

End time (in TIMESTAMP_LTZ format) for the time range from which to retrieve events.

If END_TIME is not specified, it defaults to the current timestamp.

Output¶

Column	Type	Description
TIMESTAMP	TIMESTAMP_NTZ	Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timestamp when Snowflake collected the event. This value maps to the TIMESTAMP column in the event table.
SEVERITY	VARCHAR	Severity of the event. This value maps to the `severity_text` field in the RECORD column in the event table.
EVENT_NAME	VARCHAR	Name of the event. This value maps to the `name` field in the RECORD column in the event table.
EVENT_DETAILS	OBJECT	Details about the event. This value maps to the VALUE column in the event table.
INSTANCE_ID	NUMBER	Identifier of the service instance if the event is related to a service instance. This value maps to the `snow.service.instance` field in the RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES column in the event table.
CONTAINER_NAME	VARCHAR	Name of the container if the event is related to a container. This value maps to the `snow.service.container.name` field in the RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES column in the event table.
RECORD	OBJECT	Event information in JSON format. This value maps to the RECORD column in the event table.
RECORD_ATTRIBUTES	OBJECT	Additional information about the event. This value maps to the RECORD_ATTRIBUTES column in the event table.

Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this operation must have the following privileges at a minimum:

Privilege	Object	Notes
OWNERSHIP	Service	OWNERSHIP is a special privilege on an object that is automatically granted to the role that created the object, but can also be transferred using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command to a different role by the owning role (or any role with the MANAGE GRANTS privilege).

The USAGE privilege on the parent database and schema are required to perform operations on any object in a schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes¶

It can take a few minutes before events show in the output.

Examples¶

Retrieve the events that Snowflake recorded for the my_test_job job over the past day.

SELECT * FROM TABLE(my_test_job!SPCS_GET_EVENTS());
