Snowflake Certification Practice Test

True or False: An account level Resource Monitor can override a Resource Monitor assignment for individual warehouse?

1. True

2. False

3. It depends on the scenario

4. Only if the account has higher privileges

The correct answer is: False

A Resource Monitor at the account level is designed to set a general framework for resource usage across all warehouses within the Snowflake account. This means that if an account-level Resource Monitor is in place, individual warehouses will follow the limits and rules set by it, ensuring a consistent and controlled environment for resource utilization. Thus, an individual warehouse cannot override the account level Resource Monitor's assignment, which is why the statement is deemed false. The groundwork laid by an account level Resource Monitor takes precedence and serves as a cap for the usage across all resources, including those assigned to individual warehouses. In scenarios where it seems like an individual warehouse might have its unique resource limits, those would still operate within the overarching guidelines of the account level monitor. This ensures that resource usage stays within an acceptable range for the entire Snowflake account, preventing individual warehouses from exceeding resource limits that could impact overall performance.
