Snowflake Exam ADA-C01 Topic 8 Question 40 Discussion

Scenario:

Resource Monitor MONTHLY_FINANCE_LIMIT has a credit quota of 1000.

800 credits have been used and warehouses are already suspended.

According to monitor configuration:

At 80%, warehouses are suspended.

At 100%, warehouses would be suspended immediately.

Warehouses cannot resume until the monitor is reset or the quota is increased.

E. SET CREDIT_QUOTA = 1500

Increases the monthly credit limit to 1500.

Since current usage is 800 < 1500, this puts usage below 80%.

This allows resumption of warehouses.

F. RESET

sql

CopyEdit

ALTER RESOURCE MONITOR MONTHLY_FINANCE_LIMIT RESET;

Resets usage to zero for the current period.

Allows warehouses to resume immediately --- same effect as a fresh cycle.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A . / B. ALTER WAREHOUSE ... RESUME

Won't work while the resource monitor is actively suspending the warehouses due to limits.

C . / D. UNSET RESOURCE_MONITOR

You can't remove a resource monitor from a warehouse while it is currently suspended by that same monitor.

You must first reset or adjust the monitor.

G . UNSET RESOURCE_MONITORS

Invalid syntax --- there's no RESOURCE_MONITORS plural keyword.
