Package Configuration Variables​

This package utilizes a set of variables that are configured to recommended values for optimal performance of the models. Depending on your use case, you might want to override these values by adding to your dbt_project.yml file.

note
All variables in Snowplow packages start with `snowplow__` but we have removed these in the below tables for brevity.

Warehouse and Tracker


Operation and Logic


Contexts, Filters, and Logs


Warehouse Specific


Config Generator​

You can use the below inputs to generate the code that you need to place into your dbt_project.yml file to configure the package as you require. Any values not specified will use their default values from the package.

Warehouse and Tracker
Schema (dataset) that contains your atomic events
Database that contains your atomic events
Target name of your development environment as defined in your `profiles.yml` file
The name of the table that contains your atomic events

Operation and Logic
The date to start processing events from in the package on first run or a full refresh, based on `collector_tstamp`
The maximum numbers of days of new data to be processed since the latest event processed
Number of days to limit scan on `snowplow_media_player_base_sessions_lifecycle_manifest` manifest
The maximum allowed number of days between the event creation and it being sent to the collector
The maximum allowed session length in days. For a session exceeding this length, all events after this limit will stop being processed
Number of days to look back over the incremental derived tables during the upsert
Percentage of a media needs to be played in order to consider that complete
Number of hours that needs to pass before new page_view level media player metrics from the `snowplow_media_player_base` table are safe to be processed
Minimum number of seconds that a media play needs to last to consider that interaction a valid play
Passed through to `dbt_utils` to match legacy surrogate key behavior.

Output Schemas​

By default all scratch/staging tables will be created in the <target.schema>_scratch schema, the derived tables, will be created in <target.schema>_derived and all manifest tables in <target.schema>_snowplow_manifest. Some of these schemas are only used by specific packages, ensure you add the correct configurations for each packages you are using. To change, please add the following to your dbt_project.yml file:

tip

If you want to use just your connection schema with no suffixes, set the +schema: values to null
