Axiom Ingest Spike: Find the Chatty Deploy and Open a Hygiene Task

When Axiom log ingest jumps above its rolling baseline, this workflow correlates the spike to the most recent Vercel deploy, identifies the noisiest dataset.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerHourly schedule fires the ingest check
  • ActionPull last-hour ingest bytes per dataset from AxiomAxiom
  • LogicExit unless ingest exceeds 7-day baseline by 50%
  • ActionList Vercel deploys in the spike window, pick latest prodVercelVercel
  • ActionRank Axiom datasets by growth, grab top offender + sampleAxiom
  • OutputOpen Linear logging-hygiene task assigned to deploy authorLinearLinear

What it does

Watches Axiom ingest volume and reacts when a sudden jump threatens your log bill. It pinpoints which deploy started the bleed, names the chattiest log source, and files an actionable cleanup task instead of just paging someone.

When to use it

Use it when your Axiom spend is unpredictable and spikes usually trace back to a deploy that left debug logging on or added a hot log line. Good for teams that ship to Vercel many times a day and want cost discipline without manual log audits.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled check pulls the last hour of Axiom ingest bytes per dataset.
  2. 2A logic step compares the total to a 7-day rolling baseline; it exits quietly unless ingest is more than 50 percent above baseline.
  3. 3On a spike, it queries Vercel for deployments in the spike window and selects the most recent production deploy as the likely cause.
  4. 4It runs an Axiom query to rank datasets by ingest growth and grabs the top offender plus a sample line.
  5. 5It opens a Linear task tagged logging-hygiene with the deploy SHA, dataset, projected daily cost, and sample, assigned to the deploy author.

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 LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  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.
