Axiom Daily Budget Breach: Slack Triage Thread with Deploy Suspects

What it does

Turns a raw Axiom budget breach into a ready-to-action Slack triage thread. Instead of a cryptic billing alert, your on-call sees which deploys landed today and which datasets are eating the budget, with interactive next steps.

When to use it

Use it when you have a hard daily logging budget and want humans in the loop for the call to roll back versus mute. Best for teams where muting a noisy logger is a judgment call, not something to automate blindly.

How it works

  1. 1An incoming Axiom monitor webhook fires when projected daily ingest cost crosses the budget ceiling.
  2. 2A logic step de-dupes against today's earlier alerts so the channel only gets one live thread per day.
  3. 3It queries Vercel for all production deploys since midnight and builds a suspect list ordered by recency.
  4. 4It pulls the top three Axiom datasets by ingest delta with per-dataset projected cost.
  5. 5It posts a Slack thread tagging the on-call group, summarizing the breach, suspects, and offending datasets, with suggested mute and rollback actions.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect VercelDeploys, runtime logs, analytics.
  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.
