Axiom

ANALYTICS
Velocity5.0

Log management and observability platform for events and traces.

Axiom keeps extending its AI-agent-queryable telemetry stack, now up into the dashboard.

Current state
Axiom's changelog is dense and product-real: metrics reached GA unified with logs and traces and queryable by AI agents over MCP, and recent work has moved up the stack into dashboards — collapsible sections, gauge elements, schema locking, and Grafana APL/MPL querying. The through-line is a single telemetry substrate that both humans and coding agents can drive.
Where it's heading
Two vectors run in parallel: consolidate logs, traces, and metrics into one correlated dataset (Correlations, schema locking) and make every surface agent-operable (MCP, evals, metrics/eval skills). Dashboards are now getting the same polish the ingest layer already had.
Prediction
Expect more agent-native controls — monitor and dashboard management from the agent — and deeper cross-signal correlation, extending the MCP surface beyond queries into configuration.

Recent moves

  1. 16d ago

    Gauge dashboard elements

    A new gauge element for single-value comparison with segments and an optional sparkline; incremental dashboard-vocabulary expansion.

    Dashboard sections

    Collapsible dashboard sections that halt their queries when collapsed — a genuine UX-plus-cost refinement as Axiom polishes the dashboard layer it built on top of unified telemetry.

    Dataset schema locking

    Dataset schema locking pins a dataset's shape for predictability, bundled with a lighter console and smarter query editing — data-integrity work supporting the correlated-dataset direction.

    APL and MPL in the Grafana data source

    Query Axiom from Grafana in both APL and MPL, plus four new weighted aggregations and monitor management from the agent — broadening both the query surface and the agent-operable controls.

    Correlations

    Correlations links logs, traces, and metrics so investigations move from first clue to surrounding state without manual query stitching — core to the unified-telemetry arc.

    Metrics are now generally available

    ⚡ SPARK

    Metrics GA completed Axiom's logs-traces-metrics trio on one queryable substrate — the foundation the recent dashboard and correlation work builds on.
