Accessing views in the MONITORING schema

The MONITORING_VIEWER database role has the SELECT privilege on all views in the MONITORING schema.

The MONITORING_VIEWER database role is granted to the PUBLIC role in all Snowflake accounts containing a shared SNOWFLAKE database.

General usage notes

  • The Snowflake-specific views are subject to change. Avoid selecting all columns from these views. Instead, select the columns that you want. For example, if you want the name column, use SELECT name, rather than SELECT *.

  • The rows returned in a query of a view depend on the privileges granted to the user’s current role. When you query a view in the MONITORING schema, only objects for which the current role has been granted access privileges are returned.
