Axiom documentation

Store and query all your machine data

Axiom ingests logs, traces, metrics and events into one platform. Send your first event with a single HTTP request, then query it with APL.

Quickstart Send data APL reference REST API

Start here#

Quickstart

Datasets, your first event, first queries, monitors and dashboards, in order.

Send data

OpenTelemetry, the ingest API, language libraries, log shippers and cloud integrations.

Query with APL

The Axiom Processing Language: filter, aggregate and join events with pipes.

REST API

Ingest, query and manage datasets, dashboards and monitors over HTTP.

Send your first event#

One request creates an event in a dataset. Replace AXIOM_DOMAIN, DATASET_NAME and API_TOKEN with your edge deployment domain, your dataset and an API token.

curl -X 'POST' 'https://AXIOM_DOMAIN/v1/ingest/DATASET_NAME' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-ndjson' \
  -d '{ "http": { "request": { "method": "GET", "duration_ms": 231 } }, "url": { "path": "/download" } }'

Then query it in the Console with APL:

['DATASET_NAME']
| where ['http.request.method'] == 'GET'
| summarize count() by bin_auto(_time)
