Schedule and run Snowflake source meters

A Snowflake source runs only when a meter run is started.

How runs are triggered

A Snowflake source does not automatically start when new data appears in Snowflake. Processing begins only when a meter run is initiated.

Supported run methods include:

  • Manual run from the Mediation UI.
  • Meter Run API.
  • Workflow using the Run Meter action.

Scheduling considerations

A Snowflake source does not include a built-in scheduler in the meter itself. For recurring execution, use Workflow to schedule the Run Meter action.

Typical schedules include:

  • Every 30 minutes for near-real-time batch ingestion.
  • Hourly for usage processing.
  • Daily for billing preparation.
  • Monthly for reconciliation and reporting.

Example schedule flow:

Workflow Schedule
Run Meter
Snowflake Export
Pipeline Processing

What happens during a run

Each run executes the configured query once, processes the resulting dataset, and completes.

New data added after the run starts is not picked up automatically by that run.
