 Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform that allows users to store and analyze large amounts of data. As with any data storage solution, it is important to monitor and manage the data to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. In this article, we will explore how to build a Snowflake admin dashboard using Python and Pandas, which will provide insights into the usage and performance of your Snowflake account.

 Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites: 
 – Python installed on your machine 
 – The Snowflake Python connector installed (pip install snowflake-connector-python) 
 – A Snowflake account with the necessary privileges to access usage data

 First, we need to establish a connection to our Snowflake account using the Snowflake Python connector. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates how to do this: 
 In the code above, make sure to replace “, “, and “ with your Snowflake account details. 
<h3 style="margin: 0; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 1.1500000000000001; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left; padding: 0pt 0 10pt 0;"> Step 2: Retrieving Snowflake Account Usage Data </h3>
 Once we have established a connection, we can use the Snowflake connector to execute SQL queries and retrieve account usage data. The following code snippet demonstrates how to fetch the account usage data for the past 7 days: 
 In the code above, we execute a SQL query to retrieve the count of executed queries and the sum of data scanned for each day in the past 7 days. We then store the result in a Pandas DataFrame for further analysis and visualization. 
<h3 style="margin: 0; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 1.1500000000000001; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left; padding: 0pt 0 10pt 0;"> Step 3: Creating a Snowflake Admin Dashboard </h3>
 Now that we have the account usage data, we can use Python and Pandas to create a simple admin dashboard that provides insights into the usage and performance of our Snowflake account. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to create a simple line chart using Matplotlib and display it in a Jupyter Notebook: 
 In the code above, we use Matplotlib to create a line chart that visualizes the number of queries executed and the amount of data scanned for each day in the past 7 days. We then customize the chart by adding labels, a title, and a legend. Finally, we display the chart using the `plt.show()` function. 
<h2 style="margin: 0; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Arial'; line-height: 1.1500000000000001; orphans: 2; widows: 2; text-align: left; padding: 0pt 0 10pt 0;"> Conclusion: </h2>

By establishing a connection to our Snowflake account and retrieving the account usage data, we can gain insights into the usage and performance of our Snowflake account. We then created a simple admin dashboard using Matplotlib to visualize the data. This dashboard can be further customized and expanded to include additional metrics and visualizations to meet your specific needs.
