New Axiom Error Pattern Instant Explainer

When Axiom detects a log signature it has not seen before, this workflow fetches sample lines, has AI explain the likely cause and blast radius in plain English.

What it does

Instead of a weekly recap, this watches for the first appearance of a never-before-seen error signature and explains it immediately. It grabs a few representative log lines, asks AI what the error likely means and how widespread it is, then decides whether to quietly log it or wake someone up.

When to use it

Use it to shorten the gap between a new failure mode appearing and a human understanding it — especially right after a deploy, when novel errors are the early warning sign of a regression.

How it works

  1. 1An Axiom monitor trigger fires when a log signature with no prior history crosses a minimum count.
  2. 2An Axiom action pulls a small sample of matching log lines plus the count trend.
  3. 3An OpenAI action writes a plain-English explainer: likely cause, affected service, and a low/medium/high severity guess.
  4. 4A logic step branches on that severity.
  5. 5If high, a PagerDuty output opens an incident with the explainer attached; otherwise a Slack output drops a low-priority note for later triage.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
