Snowflake Telemetry for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you run Python UDFs, UDTFs, or Stored Procedures in Snowflake and need observability. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. Install only if you're already using Snowflake's Python compute—it has no value outside that context.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9 or later (supports 3.9 through 3.14).
- Designed to run within Snowflake's Python execution environment for UDFs, UDTFs, and Stored Procedures.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
Snowflake Telemetry Python is a bridge between Python code running inside Snowflake's compute environment and the OpenTelemetry observability standard. It lets you instrument UDFs, UDTFs, and Stored Procedures to emit structured telemetry—traces, metrics, or logs—using the opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-sdk. The package handles the integration details so you can focus on adding observability to your Snowflake workloads.
This is primarily useful for teams running data processing or business logic inside Snowflake who need visibility into execution, performance, or errors. It's not a general-purpose telemetry library; it's purpose-built for Snowflake's Python execution context. The package is actively maintained and supports modern Python versions (3.9 through 3.14).
Use it for
- Trace execution flow and timing of complex UDFs to identify performance bottlenecks in data transformations.
- Emit structured logs from Stored Procedures to correlate with external monitoring systems.
- Monitor error rates and exceptions in UDTFs processing large datasets within Snowflake.
- Export telemetry to external observability platforms for centralized visibility into Snowflake workloads.
- Debug data quality issues by instrumenting UDFs with detailed span attributes and events.
