title: Has anyone tried to use Snowflake as a Grafana datasource?
body: <p>I'm currently trying to figure out if there is any proper way to visualize the data from Snowflake DWH in Grafana.</p>
  <p>What I've found during my &quot;googling&quot; is:</p>

  <p>I did find more information on Prometheus exporters</p>

  <li>The solution to <a href="https://medium.com/@izekchen/pull-data-from-snowflake-with-logstash-b1120c812d99" rel="noreferrer">schedule the data polling by Logstash</a> and then ship the data to Elasticsearch where we can query the data in Grafana.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>Both of these resources don't seem reassuring and I'm wondering if there is any straightforward way to connect them together.</p>
