Add New Warehouse for Auto-Management
Grant Revefi permissions to monitor and auto-manage a new Snowflake warehouse on an existing account.
This guide is for users who already have Revefi connected to Snowflake and want to add a new warehouse for auto-management.
Prerequisites
- You have already set up Revefi with Snowflake (completed the initial setup from the main Snowflake guide)
- The
REVEFI_ROLEexists in your Snowflake account - You have a new warehouse you want Revefi to monitor and auto-manage
Step 1: Verify REVEFI_DB exists (One-time setup)
If you've never enabled auto-management before, you need to create the REVEFI_DB database first. Skip this step if REVEFI_DB already exists.
-- Configuration
SET revefi_role_name = 'REVEFI_ROLE';
SET revefi_db = 'REVEFI_DB';
-- Create a dedicated database for Revefi to store tasks and procedures
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS identifier($revefi_db);
-- Grant usage on database and schemas
GRANT USAGE ON DATABASE identifier($revefi_db) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
GRANT USAGE ON ALL SCHEMAS IN DATABASE identifier($revefi_db) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
USE DATABASE identifier($revefi_db);
-- Grant permissions to create procedures and tasks
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
GRANT CREATE TASK ON SCHEMA PUBLIC TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
GRANT EXECUTE TASK ON ACCOUNT TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);Step 2: Grant permissions on the new warehouse
Replace <your_warehouse_name> with the actual name of your warehouse.
-- Configuration
SET revefi_role_name = 'REVEFI_ROLE';
SET warehouse_name = '<your_warehouse_name>';
-- Grant monitoring and usage permissions
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE identifier($warehouse_name) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
GRANT MONITOR ON WAREHOUSE identifier($warehouse_name) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
-- Grant auto-management permissions
GRANT MODIFY ON WAREHOUSE identifier($warehouse_name) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);
GRANT OPERATE ON WAREHOUSE identifier($warehouse_name) TO ROLE identifier($revefi_role_name);What these permissions enable
- USAGE: Allows Revefi to view warehouse configuration parameters
- MONITOR: Enables Revefi to analyze query performance and identify bottlenecks
- MODIFY: Allows Revefi to adjust warehouse size based on recommendations
- OPERATE: Enables Revefi to start and stop the warehouse as needed
Next Steps
Once you've granted these permissions, the new warehouse will be visible in your Revefi dashboard and available for auto-management. Revefi will begin monitoring queries running on this warehouse and can execute optimization recommendations.
