# Send data from Heroku Log Drains to Axiom

> This page explains how to send data from Heroku Log Drains to Axiom.

Use [Heroku Log Drains](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/log-drains) to send data from your Heroku apps and deployments to Axiom.

<Warning>
  With Heroku Log Drains, you can only send data to the US East 1 (AWS) edge deployment. For more information, see [Edge deployments](/reference/edge-deployments).
</Warning>

## Prerequisites

* [Create an Axiom account](https://app.axiom.co/register).
* [Create a dataset in Axiom](/reference/datasets#create-dataset) where you send your data.
* [Create an API token in Axiom](/reference/tokens) with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

- [Create an account on Heroku](https://heroku.com/).
- [Download and install the Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli).
- [Create a Heroku app](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/creating-apps).

## Setup

Configure Heroku Log Drains:

```bash theme={null}
heroku drains:add "https://axiom:API_TOKEN@api.axiom.co/v1/datasets/DATASET_NAME/ingest" -a HEROKU_APPLICATION_NAME
```

<Info>
  Replace `API_TOKEN` with the Axiom API token you have generated. For added security, store the API token in an environment variable.

  Replace `DATASET_NAME` with the name of the Axiom dataset where you send your data.

  Replace `HEROKU_APPLICATION_NAME` with the name of the Heroku app.
