Snowflake Openflow, built on Apache NiFi, centralizes pipeline telemetry into Snowflake Event Tables instead of traditional log files. This post explains how to configure event tables for Openflow, query telemetry with SQL, and use Cortex Code (Snowflake's AI agent) to debug issues via natural language. Cortex Code has built-in Openflow skills covering network connectivity testing, misconfiguration detection, connector deployment, upgrades, and monitoring — all without manually navigating the NiFi UI or tailing log files.
