This ensures informed, data-driven decisions. This is where Data Metric Functions (DMFs) come in handy, as they can assess data quality using DMFs, and Snowflake offers built-in system DMFs within SNOWFLAKE.CORE schema to measure key metrics without requiring custom definitions. For enterprises building scalable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/data-warehouse-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data warehousing solutions<\/a>, these automated checks are vital for maintaining a single source of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether we utilize system DMFs, custom DMFs, or a combination of both, Snowflake logs the scheduling results in a dedicated event table for data metric functions once a DMF is assigned to a table or view. We can define the execution frequency based on the requirements. For instance, a DMF can be scheduled to run on a specific table thrice daily. As part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/snowflake-services\/consulting\">Snowflake consulting<\/a> practices, integrating DMFs becomes critical to ensure data remains trustworthy for analytics, reporting, and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objects supported by DMFs:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, below are the objects that are supported by the DMFs, meaning the same can be applied to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Standard tables (including temporary and transient).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>External tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apache Iceberg tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standard views.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Materialized views.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some key points that have to be noted over here are that for using the DMFs, the minimum edition required is the Enterprise edition. Also, the DMFs cannot be set on hybrid tables OR streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DMF category:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DMFs can be broadly classified into 2 categories, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 System DMFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 Custom DMFs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1 System DMFs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">System DMFs are managed by Snowflake and cannot be modified, including their names or functionality. Each system DMF evaluates a specific data quality attribute. To achieve a more comprehensive assessment, multiple system DMFs can be assigned to a table or view, helping meet governance and compliance requirements. These are frequently recommended in Snowflake to ensure data reliability from the ground up. Below is the list of the System DMFs and their categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If no existing system DMF meets your data quality requirements, you can create a custom DMF using the CREATE DATA METRIC FUNCTION command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is how it can be done:<br><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Create the custom DMF by using the below command(where invalid_email_count is the DMF):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>CREATE DATA METRIC FUNCTION IF NOT EXISTS\n  invalid_email_count (ARG_T table(ARG_C1 STRING))\n  RETURNS NUMBER AS\n  'SELECT COUNT_IF(FALSE = (\nARG_C1 REGEXP

controls:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are the steps that must be followed to ensure we enable the access controls for an end-user to use the DMF functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>USE ROLE SECURITYADMIN;\nCREATE ROLE RL_DEV_ENGINEER;\nGRANT ROLE RL_DEV_ENGINEER TO USER &lt;user_name&gt;;\n\n-- This is for creating standard objects.\nGRANT CREATE

role.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EXECUTE DATA METRIC FUNCTION is to ensure the privileges are there to execute the DMFs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SNOWFLAKE.DATA_QUALITY_MONITORING_VIEWER, to ensure privileges are there to monitor the output of the DMFs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Cases for Data Metric Functions in Snowflake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application of DMFs on a table and scheduling<\/strong> it.<br>In this section, we will apply the system-defined DMFs to a table and then also set its scheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE DQ_DATA.TRANSACTIONS (\n  transaction_id INTEGER, \n  transaction_date DATE, \n  client_id VARCHAR, \n  payment_type

1);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let us say we want to check the NULL count against the column client_id for the above set of records, then below is how we do that:<br>SELECT snowflake.core.null_count (SELECT client_id FROM TRANSACTIONS);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

Now, let us schedule some DMF checks on the above table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the very first step, the scheduling has to be defined, and then we associate the DMFs with the tables. Below is how we can do the scheduling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ALTER TABLE TRANSACTIONS SET DATA_METRIC_SCHEDULE = '5 MINUTE';<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post this, we can check if the scheduling has been done correctly or not, as per the below command &amp; screenshot, also attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>SHOW PARAMETERS LIKE 'DATA_METRIC_SCHEDULE' IN TABLE TRANSACTIONS;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1_IN_TABLE_TRANSACTIONS-1.jpg\" alt=\"DATA_METRIC_SCHEDULE\" class=\"wp-image-10266\" title=\"DATA METRIC SCHEDULE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1_IN_TABLE_TRANSACTIONS-1.jpg 786w, https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1_IN_TABLE_TRANSACTIONS-1-300x55.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1_IN_TABLE_TRANSACTIONS-1-768x141.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, we define the DMFs as given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ALTER TABLE TRANSACTIONS\n  add data metric function SNOWFLAKE.CORE.DUPLICATE_COUNT \n  on (transaction_id);\n  \nALTER TABLE TRANSACTIONS\n  add data metric function SNOWFLAKE.CORE.NULL_COUNT \n  on (client_id);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are now 2 checks defined on the same table, which are duplicate count &amp; null count. Each of these is defined in separate columns of the same table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post 5 mins, we can check what the value is that we get. Below is the command through which we can continuously check the output after the DMF has run within the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>select measurement_time, table_name, metric_name, argument_names, value\nfrom SNOWFLAKE.LOCAL.DATA_QUALITY_MONITORING_RESULTS \norder by measurement_time desc;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2_measurement_time-desc-1.jpg\" alt=\"select measurement_time\" class=\"wp-image-10269\" title=\"select measurement time\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2_measurement_time-desc-1.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2_measurement_time-desc-1-300x55.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aegissofttech.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/2_measurement_time-desc-1-768x140.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we see from the above screenshot, the value against the METRIC_NAME is now properly getting returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Governance &amp; monitoring of the Data Metric Functions in Snowflake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing data metric functions, including adding, removing, or modifying schedules, can become complex over time.

Organizations can also define custom DMFs to handle more specific or complex quality checks, ensuring flexibility in meeting business or compliance needs. The results of DMFs are extremely easy to interpret, making it easy to audit, report, or trigger downstream actions based on the data quality status. With DMFs, Snowflake empowers users to embed automated, scalable data quality monitoring into their data pipelines effortlessly.
