Overview

Observe by Snowflake provides industry leading data retention, but there are scenarios where you may need to move data from Observe by Snowflake to an AWS S3 bucket that is owned by your organization. As an admin user, use the data export feature to move data automatically from any event Dataset to an S3 bucket.

Here are some example scenarios where you might want to export data from Observe by Snowflake to an S3 bucket:

• You need to retain data for compliance purposes, but the data does not need to be searchable.
• You need to share subsets of Observe by Snowflake data to other teams.
• You need to provide portability of your data post-ingestion.

Prerequisites

When using data export, verify the following prerequisites are met:

• Verify that your S3 bucket is properly configured to receive data from Observe by Snowflake. See Configure your S3 bucket to receive data from Observe by Snowflake.
• Exports will have an up to 2 hour delay from event arrival.
• You can only export data from Event Datasets.
