Question

A data engineering team has three warehouses: WH_ETL, WH_BI, and WH_ADHOC. Leadership wants a single overall credit cap of 5,000 credits per month across the entire Snowflake account, regardless of how many warehouses exist. When any warehouse consumes credits toward this shared limit and 100% is reached, all warehouses should be suspended. How should an administrator configure resource monitors to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create one resource monitor set at the account level with a 5,000 credit quota and a SUSPEND action at 100%.

Answer

Create three separate resource monitors, each assigned to one warehouse, each with a quota of roughly 1,667 credits.

Answer

Create one resource monitor and assign it individually to all three warehouses with a 5,000 credit quota each.

Answer

Create a resource monitor at the account level and also assign the same monitor to each warehouse to enforce the cap twice.
