Dashboards, Worksheets, and Datasets
Observe by Snowflake transforms raw logs, metrics, and traces into curated Datasets. Use Worksheets to explore, filter, shape, and transform your data. Then, use dashboards to continuously monitor and visualize your data.
Datasets
Explore your structured data that has been transformed from raw inputs.Worksheets
Filter, model and explore your data without changing any of the underlying data.Dashboards
Visualize the data in your Datasets in one place, and pivot to other areas of Observe by Snowflake to kick off additional workflows.Tags
Use correlation tags to dynamically link Datasets together without rewriting code or changing your underlying data schema. Use Object tags to organize and categorize your Observe by Snowflake objects.
Correlation tags
