Data Warehouses
Integrate Monte Carlo with your Data Warehouse
Overview
Integrating Monte Carlo with a data warehouse allows Monte Carlo to track health of tables and pipelines. By automatically pulling metadata, query logs and metrics, from the warehouse, Monte Carlo can provide end-to-end data observability.
To integrate a data warehouse, you will:
- Enable network connectivity between the warehouse and Monte Carlo if the warehouse is not publicly accessible.
- Create a read-only service account with the appropriate permissions on your data warehouse. See detailed guides for specific warehouse like Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Teradata and more nested under this page.
- Provide service account credentials on your Monte Carlo onboarding wizard to validate and complete the integration.
FAQs
I have an advanced monitor that keeps timing out; how can I make sure MC runs as needed while keeping my resource consumption and costs low?
For advanced users of custom monitors, we support multiple query connections of the same type via the API/SDK. For example, you can now setup multiple Snowflake warehouse connections with varying config to optimize for performance and cost. See API docs here for details, usage examples, and any limitations on this feature.
