Field sorting by frequency, improved APL autocompletions, and better API token management

Over the past weeks, we've shipped several improvements to make exploring and managing your data in Axiom even smoother. Highlights include smarter APL autocompletions, enhanced field sorting by frequency, and more intuitive API token management.

Sort fields by frequency

The fields sidebar now lets you sort fields by how frequently they appear in your query results. Previously, fields were always listed alphabetically, which made it difficult to quickly identify the most relevant fields in datasets with hundreds of columns. Switch to "Most common" sorting and Axiom ranks fields by presence, showing the percentage of events that contain each field.

Smarter APL autocompletions

Writing in() expressions in APL just got easier. The editor now offers value completions when you type inside an in(...) clause, matching the autocomplete experience you already know from == and contains operators. Start typing a value and Axiom suggests matching field values from your dataset, reducing typos and speeding up query construction.

Improved API token management

API tokens now show who created them and when, making it easier to audit and manage tokens across your team. Each token displays the creator's name and a relative timestamp, with full date details available on the token detail page. A new user filter at the top of the list defaults to showing your own tokens, so you can quickly find what you need.

Quantile support in the metrics query builder

The metrics query builder now supports bucket transformations for histogram metrics, including quantile calculations. When working with histogram-type metrics, Axiom automatically selects the right bucket function and lets you configure quantile values directly in the builder. This brings powerful distribution analysis to the visual query experience without needing to write APL.

Deprecation of the /explorer URL

The https://app.axiom.co/ORG_ID/explorer URL of the Console is now deprecated in favor of https://app.axiom.co/ORG_ID/query. If you have bookmarks, saved links, or integrations that point to /explorer, update them to use /query instead. A redirect is currently in place so existing links continue to work, but we plan to remove the redirect in the future.

More of our favorite changes

  • You can now filter by field values directly from the Stream event sidebar, matching the filtering experience already available in the Query tab.
  • Consolidated the billing page by merging credit balance information into the Compute credits section with clearer column labels.
  • Dashboard aggregation tables are now virtualized, improving scroll and resize performance for charts with many rows.
  • Initial page loads are faster thanks to local caching of dataset metadata and early prefetching of user settings.
