Instead of drilling into one warehouse at a time, you get a single glanceable page that answers *"what is running, queued, scaling, or stuck **right now**?"* across every connected Snowflake account. Find it in the navigation under **Monitoring → Real Time**. The screen has three tabs: | Tab | What it shows | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Compute units** | A live tile per warehouse — state, running/queued queries, automation status. | | **Real-time queries** | The actual queries running in a chosen account over the last few minutes. | | **Alerts** | Rules that notify you when a warehouse misbehaves. See [Real Time Alerts](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/real-time-monitoring/real-time-alerts.md). | {% hint style="info" %} Auto-refresh only runs on the **Compute units** tab. When you switch to **Real-time queries** or **Alerts**, polling pauses so the page stays quiet while you read. {% endhint %}

Real Time Monitoring — Compute units tab with the fleet rollup and live warehouse tiles

*** ## Compute units tab This is the default view: a live grid of warehouse tiles with a fleet-wide rollup on top. ### Fleet rollup Six counters summarize the whole fleet at a glance: | Counter | Meaning | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Warehouses up** | Warehouses currently running. | | **Running queries** | Total queries executing across the fleet. | | **Queued queries** | Total queries waiting for capacity. | | **Smart Pulse on** | Warehouses with [Smart Pulse](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/automations/smart-pulse.md) active. | | **Auto Scaler on** | Warehouses with [Auto Scaler](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/automations/auto-scaler.md) active. | | **Auto Shutdown on** | Warehouses with [Auto Shutdown](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/automations/auto-shutdown.md) active. | The first three are live activity numbers; the last three are adoption counters that tell you how much of the fleet each automation covers. ### Warehouse tiles Each warehouse appears as a card. Click anywhere on a tile to jump into that warehouse's **Real time** tab on its details page.

A single warehouse tile

A tile shows: * **State chip** — `Running`, `Suspended`, `Resuming`, or `Resizing`. * **Name, account, and size** — including the started cluster count for multi-cluster warehouses. * **Running / queued counts** — the live query load, with a visual cue when a warehouse is queueing (more queued than running). * **Sparkline** — running and queued query counts over the last few minutes (default window: **5 minutes**), so you can see trends, not just the current instant. * **Automation chips** — Smart Pulse, Auto Scaler, and Auto Shutdown light up green when active and stay grey when off. * **Firing indicator** — if a [Real Time Alert](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/real-time-monitoring/real-time-alerts.md) is currently firing for the warehouse, the tile is highlighted and shows a firing badge. Hover it to see which rule fired and its severity. Hover (or focus) a tile to reveal its actions: | Action | What it does | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Pin** | Keeps the warehouse at the top of the grid regardless of sort. | | **Hide** | Removes the tile from the grid. Restore it later with **Restore removed**. | | **Open** | Opens the warehouse's full **Real time** details page. | | **Bell (alert)** | Creates a [Real Time Alert](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/real-time-monitoring/real-time-alerts.md) scoped to this warehouse — or edits the existing one if it's already covered. | | **Drag handle** | Drag tiles to arrange them in a custom order. | {% hint style="info" %} Pinned, hidden, and custom-ordered tiles are remembered in your browser per account, so your layout survives a reload. {% endhint %} ### Toolbar | Control | Options | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Sort by** | Activity (running + queued) — default · Running (high → low) · Queued (high → low) · Name (A → Z) · Custom order. | | **Refresh** | Off · Every 5s · Every 10s · Every 30s (default) · Every 60s. | | **Refresh button** | Triggers an immediate refresh. The dot next to it is **green** while auto-refresh is on (and pulses on every successful update) and **grey** when it's off. | | **Restore removed (n)** | Appears only when you've hidden tiles; brings them all back. | | **Create alert** | Opens the [Real Time Alert](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/real-time-monitoring/real-time-alerts.md) rule builder. | | **Last N min** | Indicates the time window each tile's sparkline covers. | ### Filters and saved views Use the **filter** button to narrow the fleet by: * **Account** — one or more connected Snowflake accounts. * **Compute units** — specific warehouses (available once a single account is selected). * **Budget segment** and **Tags** — your own groupings. * **Size**, **Resource constraint**, and **Automation status** (`Active` / `Disabled`). You can save a filter combination as a **view** and switch between views from the toolbar. Views are shared with the Cost Overview compute-units page, so the same saved views (e.g. "EU prod fleet") apply in both places. *** ## Real-time queries tab This tab lists the **actual queries** running on a chosen account over a short recent window, so you can see exactly what's driving the load you see on the Compute units tab.

Real-time queries for a selected account

{% hint style="warning" %} **Fetching queries costs money.** Loading this tab runs a query against your Snowflake account (`INFORMATION_SCHEMA.QUERY_HISTORY`) and may incur compute cost **each time you fetch or refresh**. For that reason it does **not** auto-refresh — you fetch on demand. {% endhint %} To use it: {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Pick an account Select the Snowflake account (integration) you want to inspect. Optionally narrow to specific compute units, or leave it on **All compute units**. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Choose a time window **Last 15 min** (default), **Last 30 min**, or **Last 60 min**. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Fetch Click **Fetch Queries**. Once results load, the button becomes **Refresh** for an explicit re-fetch. The table header shows the result count and the time it was last fetched. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Filter and search Search by SQL text or query ID, and use the quick filters (e.g. by status) or the filter drawer to focus on the queries that matter. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** ## How the data stays current * On the **Compute units** tab, Seemore polls for fresh warehouse state at the interval you choose in the toolbar. The live dot pulses on every successful update. * The data comes from frequent point-in-time snapshots of your warehouses, so the counts and states reflect what Snowflake reported moments ago — not a once-a-day batch. * The **Real-time queries** tab is the one exception: it fetches on demand because each fetch runs a billable query in your account (see the warning above). *** ## Related {% content-ref url="/pages/q88Qif5MhR3Qirgt6Tuq" %} [Real Time Alerts](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/real-time-monitoring/real-time-alerts.md) {% endcontent-ref %} * [Burst Protector](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/automations/smart-pulse/burst-protector.md) — automatically absorbs sudden query spikes detected in real time. * [Live Tuning](/external-docs/fundamentals/our-features/automations/live-tuning.md) — temporarily override a warehouse's configuration from its **Real time** tab.
