Axiom integration: connect Axiom to Polylane
Connect Axiom datasets, monitors and dashboards to Polylane with an API token. Run APL queries over log events to explain the alerts your monitors send.
Get started for freeWhat Polylane does with Axiom.
Alerts triaged on arrival
Every Axiom monitor that fires lands in Polylane as an issue, and an agent triages it the moment it does, correlated with recent changes across the graph.
APL mid-investigation
Agents run APL queries against your datasets while they work an issue, and every result is cited back to the query behind it.
Your queries become checks
Every saved query and dashboard becomes a check: agents run it on a cadence and flag results that stray from the service's normal.
First-class in the graph
Axiom joins the context graph as a source, so a spike in a dataset lands next to the deploy and the resources behind it.
How to set up Axiom
- Find the Axiom region in Organization Settings: api.axiom.co for US or api.eu1.axiom.co for EU.
- Create an API token with read access to the datasets you intend to query; paste it into Polylane.
- Validate the connection and review the polylane webhook notifier added to monitors.
Permissions and access
Dataset reads support investigation queries. Alert provisioning additionally creates a custom webhook notifier and updates monitors; exact token capabilities for that setup are not listed by the checked form. Verify those provider-side capabilities when creating the token.
Discovery, refresh and the connected view
Agents run APL queries, explore dataset schemas and fields, and inspect monitor status. Recurring reconciliation attaches the notifier to monitors. Terraform-managed monitors need its ID in notifier_ids to avoid drift. This is an Axiom log/event query workflow rather than Honeycomb trace analysis.
Disconnect and revoke access
Disconnect Axiom and revoke its API token. Polylane removes the notifier from monitors; remove the notifier ID from Terraform at the same time.
