Building a Snowflake Cortex DBA Alert Analyst Agent

This document outlines the creation of an AI-assisted Database Operations Alert Analyst Agent designed to reduce operational "alert noise". It utilizes a standardized schema across on-premise Oracle and AWS RDS databases, with data synchronized into Snowflake in near real-time via Fivetran replication. A dedicated semantic view maps the rigid database schema into natural language synonyms, allowing users to interact with the data without writing manual SQL. Built natively within Snowflake using standard compute resources, the agent is configured with a specific persona to identify recurring patterns, prioritize critical severities, and explain database error codes. Ultimately, this MVP deployment establishes a foundational architecture for real-time operational awareness and future automated workflows.
