What it does

Guards the monthly Axiom budget by watching burn rate, not just totals. Every hour it projects end-of-month ingest from month-to-date usage, and if you're trending over budget it ranks the services responsible and escalates so someone can throttle logging before the overage lands.

When to use it

Use it when finance has a hard Axiom ingest budget and a mid-month overrun means real money. The burn-rate projection catches a slow leak days before a simple total-threshold alarm would.

How it works

  1. 1An hourly schedule starts the check.
  2. 2It queries Axiom for month-to-date ingest bytes across all datasets.
  3. 3A logic step projects month-end usage from the elapsed fraction of the month and compares it to the budget.
  4. 4If projected overage exceeds the threshold, it queries Axiom for the services contributing the most month-to-date volume.
  5. 5It triggers a PagerDuty incident sized to the projected overage and attaches the top-offender breakdown.
  6. 6It posts a Slack summary with the burn-rate chart values and which services to trim first.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  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.
