Manual Warehouse Tuning for Temporary Business Needs, Reverted Automatically
Live Tuning
It happens to the best of us: someone resizes a warehouse to get through a busy stretch, and in the rush of everything else, forgets to size it back down afterward. It’s one of the most common ways Snowflake costs creep up unnoticed. That one unreverted change can sit there for weeks, adding real cost with nothing to show for it. Seemore has your back: Live Tuning lets you set a manual configuration change with a built-in expiration that automatically scales the warehouse back to its original configuration, so you get the performance when you need it and none of the cost once you don’t.
Seemore Live Tuning in Action
Take Control the Moment You Need It
Live Tuning is a manual override you reach for on your own terms, whether you’re planning ahead or reacting to load right now.
- Set size, warehouse type, and (on Enterprise edition and above) min and max cluster count, all in one form
- Choose a fixed duration from 5 minutes up to 24 hours, or an exact end time, whichever fits the moment
- Applies immediately once started, so there’s no gap between deciding you need more (or less) and actually having it
- Works on any warehouse Seemore manages, giving you a single, fast lever over both cost and performance whenever you need one
Never Left Oversized by Accident
The whole point of a manual override is that it’s temporary. Live Tuning is built so it can’t quietly become permanent.
- Every session is bounded – tailored to your choice
- The session runs server-side, so closing the tab or losing your connection doesn’t cancel it, and it can’t be left running unsupervised either, since the same timer still enforces the same expiry
- Stop a session manually at any point, and the warehouse reverts immediately
Works With SmartPulse, Not Around It
Using Live Tuning doesn’t mean turning SmartPulse off.
- On a SmartPulse-managed warehouse, SmartPulse’s schedule is paused for the duration and resumes automatically from the current hour slot the moment Live Tuning ends
- On a warehouse without an active schedule, it reverts to its saved configuration instead
- Live Tuning never terminates a running query – it changes configuration, not what’s already executing
Easy to Monitor
You can see exactly what’s happening with a session at any point, in real time.
- Full observability into every active Live Tuning session
- Track the change as it happens through real-time monitoring
- Every session appears in the warehouse event log, including who made the change and when
Frequently asked questions
What is Seemore Data Live Tuning?
A manual override that lets you change a warehouse’s size or type for a limited window, from 5 minutes up to 24 hours, and have it revert automatically to its original configuration once that window ends, no follow-up step required.
When would I actually use this instead of just changing the warehouse myself?
Whenever a change is meant to be temporary, planning ahead for a heavy processing day or reacting to load right now. The whole point is that you never have to remember to undo it, so a manual bump in size can’t quietly turn into a forgotten, permanent one.
How long can a session last?
Anywhere from 5 minutes up to 24 hours, either as a fixed duration or an exact end time, whichever fits what you’re doing.
What happens if I close my browser tab or lose my connection mid-session?
Nothing changes. The session runs server-side, so it isn’t tied to your connection, it can’t be cancelled by accident, and it also can’t be left running past its expiry; the same timer enforces it either way.
Can I end a session early?
Yes. Stop it manually at any point and the warehouse reverts immediately.
Will this interrupt a query that's already running?
No. Live Tuning never terminates a running query, it changes the warehouse’s configuration, not whatever is already executing.
Does this conflict with SmartPulse if the warehouse is already on a schedule?
No. On a SmartPulse-managed warehouse, SmartPulse’s schedule pauses for the duration of the session and resumes automatically from the current hour slot the moment Live Tuning ends. On a warehouse without an active schedule, it simply reverts to its saved configuration instead.
How do I know what's happening during an active session, or after it?
You get full visibility into every session in real time, and every session, including who made the change and when, is recorded in the warehouse’s event log.
