Axiom Spike to Cloudflare Traffic-Burst Correlator

When an Axiom log-cost spike is detected, it pulls Cloudflare analytics for the same window to determine whether the surge is a legitimate traffic burst or runaway log emission.

What it does

Distinguishes a real traffic event from a logging bug. On an Axiom ingestion spike it fetches Cloudflare request and error analytics for the identical time window and correlates the two. If requests rose proportionally, it labels the spike legitimate; if log volume jumped while traffic stayed flat, it flags a probable noisy-service or log-loop regression.

When to use it

Use it when you can't tell whether an Axiom bill jump means "we got popular" or "a service started screaming into the logs." The Cloudflare cross-check kills that ambiguity before anyone pages an engineer.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook from your Axiom monitor signals a detected ingestion spike.
  2. 2Query Cloudflare GraphQL analytics for requests and error rate over the spike window.
  3. 3A logic step compares log-volume growth against request growth to classify the cause.
  4. 4Branch: if traffic-driven, post an all-clear; if log-driven, assemble a regression alert.
  5. 5Send the classified verdict with both metrics to Slack.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect CloudflareWorkers, Pages, R2, KV — the edge stack.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  5. 5

  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.
