observability
Axiom
Connect your Axiom organization to let agents run APL queries, monitor alert statuses, and explore your datasets. Agents can analyze your telemetry data to help troubleshoot issues and understand system performance.
Connect
Connect Axiom from the terminal. Pass --help for the flags Axiom accepts.
Terminal
polylane integration connect --type axiomAPI token scoped to the datasets you want agents to query.
Connect Axiom so agents can query your log and event data with APL (Axiom Processing Language).
Setup
- Find your region in Axiom → Organization Settings (US is
api.axiom.co, EU isapi.eu1.axiom.co). - In Axiom, go to Settings → API Tokens and create a new token.
- Give the token read access to the datasets you want agents to query.
- Paste the token into Polylane. Polylane validates it and connects.
Your token is encrypted before it is stored, and the agent never sees it.
What agents can do
- Run APL queries across your datasets
- Explore dataset schemas and fields
- Monitor alert statuses during investigations
Disconnecting
Disconnect Axiom in Polylane, then revoke the API token in Axiom.
