Improvements to enterprise cost attribution ("Chargebacks")

For many enterprises, attributing the cost of Monte Carlo back to their lines of business is a necessary step. This process, commonly called a "chargeback," comes in 2 flavors:

  1. Charging back the consumption of Monte Carlo credits to the lines of business. This is relevant for our customers on consumption pricing plans, and we released much better support for this a few months ago (detailed here).
  2. Charging back the consumption of warehouse resources from Monte Carlo to the lines of business. We're releasing much better support for this today.

Two big improvements we've shipped today, that align with #2 above:

  • monitor_id as a query tag. When a monitor runs, Monte Carlo will pass a query tag containing the monitor_id, so that warehouse consumption can be easily attributed back to a specific monitor. For now, this is limited just to Snowflake & BigQuery.
  • Limit the connections available to a user via Authorization Groups. Admins have long been able to create multiple connections to their data sources. But now, they can control which users have access to use each connection via Authorization Groups. This makes it much easier to track the total warehouse consumption from Monitors or Data Profiler coming from a particular team.

Note, these improvements are limited to our Enterprise product tier.
