Axiom Ingest Cost-Spike Investigator

When Axiom daily ingest volume jumps past a threshold, an agent pinpoints which datasets and fields drove the spike and posts a ranked breakdown with proposed drop/sampling rules…

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily scheduled ingest check
  • ActionPull 24h ingest bytes per dataset from AxiomAxiom
  • LogicContinue only if ingest exceeds spike threshold
  • ActionQuery Axiom for top datasets and noisy fieldsAxiom
  • ActionAgent attributes spike and drafts drop/sampling rulesOpenAI
  • OutputPost ranked breakdown and proposed rules to SlackSlack

What it does

Watches your Axiom ingest volume and, on a sudden spike, runs an investigation that attributes the extra gigabytes to specific datasets, log sources, and high-cardinality fields. It then drafts concrete drop and sampling rules to bring spend back down and posts the whole brief to your observability Slack channel for a human to approve.

When to use it

Use it when log-ingest cost is a recurring surprise and you want the root cause and a fix proposal waiting for you instead of spending an afternoon slicing dashboards. Good for platform and SRE teams on usage-based observability billing.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled check pulls the last 24h of Axiom ingest bytes per dataset and compares against the trailing 7-day baseline.
  2. 2A logic gate continues only if total ingest exceeds the spike threshold (e.g. +40%).
  3. 3The agent queries Axiom to rank the top datasets and noisiest fields contributing the delta.
  4. 4The agent reasons over the breakdown and drafts targeted drop/sampling rule candidates with estimated savings.
  5. 5The findings and proposed rules are posted to Slack for approval.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
