August 7, 2026 (version 0.145.0)

We’ve got updates! Here’s what’s new:

Feature release

  • Enhanced retention of onboarded Snowflake data - The Query Details page will provide extended historical retention of onboarded Snowflake data in Slingshot beyond the 14-day limit displayed on the Snowflake UI.
    • Customers that opt into this feature preview can:
    • Identify costliest queries from the Slingshot homepage and drill directly into performance breakdowns, eliminating the need to search through Snowflake logs.
    • Track query health over time. Spot the exact moment a query degraded—due to schema changes, data growth, or optimizer updates—by leveraging all query history retained since onboarding to Slingshot.
    • Measure the impact of changes by viewing before-and-after performance comparisons directly on the Query Details page.
    • Connect cost to action. Navigate from Optimization Hub “red flag” areas (poor pruning, high cloud service cost, long-running failures) to the specific queries causing the issue via direct links on the Query Details page.
    • Any role/user with permissions to view Warehouse Recommendations will be able to navigate to the Query Details page from the following UI locations:
    • Warehouse Schedule > Projected Impacted Queries
    • Costliest Queries widget on the Home page
    • Before / After Comparison Period on the Warehouse Details > Change History page
    • Optimization Hub: Poor query pruning, Long Running Failed Queries, Single row inserts, Queries with high cloud service cost
