Configure Flow

​

Prerequisites

• Create an Axiom account.
• Create a dataset in Axiom where you send your data.

• Set up a destination. For more information, see Destinations.

​

Set up a flow configuration

1. Click the Flows tab. Axiom displays the list of flow configurations you have created.
2. In the top right, click New configuration.
3. In the Source section, specify the source dataset and the transformation in an APL query. For example, the following APL query selects events from a cloudflare-logpush dataset and reduces them by removing a set of fields, before enriching with a new field.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   ['cloudflare-logpush']
   | where QueryName == "app.axiom.co."
   // Reduce events by dropping unimportant field
   | project-away ['@app']*
   // Enrich events with additional context
   | extend ['@origin'] = "_axiom"
   

   If you only specify the name of the dataset in the query, Axiom routes all events to the destination.In the APL query, you can only use filters (such as where and search) and transformations (such as project and extend).
4. Click Preview to check whether the query you specified transforms your data as desired. The Input event section displays the original data stored in Axiom. The Output event section displays the transformed data that Axiom sends to the destination. The original data in the Axiom dataset isn’t affected by the transformation.
5. In the Destination section, click Add a destination, and then select an existing destination where you want to route data or click Create new destination.
6. In the top right, click Create.

Create one-time flow

1. Click the Flows tab. Axiom displays the list of flow configurations you have created. Select the flow configuration that you want to use for creating a one-time flow.
2. In the top right, click Create flow and select One-time flow.
3. Specify the time range for events you want to process.
4. Click Create flow.
