Axiom Ingest Cost Spike to Linear Triage Ticket

What it does

Catches sudden jumps in log ingestion before they show up on the invoice. When a webhook reports a volume spike, it pinpoints the service and message pattern responsible, then turns that into an actionable engineering ticket instead of a vague alert.

When to use it

Use it as a cost guardrail: a noisy deploy, a retry storm, or a misconfigured debug flag can multiply ingest overnight. This routes the diagnosis straight to the owning team's backlog.

How it works

  1. 1An Axiom monitor webhook fires when 24h ingest exceeds the rolling baseline.
  2. 2The workflow queries Axiom to break the spike down by service and message template.
  3. 3A logic step picks the single largest contributor and computes its share of the increase.
  4. 4It drafts a triage writeup: which logger, how many extra events, estimated added cost, and a concrete downsampling fix.
  5. 5It creates a Linear issue in the owning team's project, labeled and pre-filled with sample log lines.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  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.
