What it does

This is a reactive agent that responds to sudden log-volume spikes. When a monitor signals that ingest has jumped past your threshold, it pinpoints the specific log pattern responsible for the surge and opens a fast, narrowly scoped GitHub PR adding a drop rule for just that pattern, so a deploy that started spewing noise does not blow your budget overnight.

When to use it

Use it when a bad deploy or misconfigured logger can flood Axiom between weekly reviews. It is the emergency brake to complement scheduled cleanup: fast, surgical, and reviewable.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook from your ingest-volume monitor triggers the run with the spike window.
  2. 2The agent queries Axiom for that window and diffs pattern frequency against the prior baseline to isolate the surging template.
  3. 3A logic gate confirms the top pattern is low-value and accounts for a meaningful share of the spike, otherwise it exits without changes.
  4. 4It drafts a tightly scoped drop rule matching only that pattern.
  5. 5It opens a GitHub PR adding the rule, labeled urgent, with the spike chart and attribution.
  6. 6It pages the on-call channel in Slack with the PR and the offending pattern.
