Send data from Loki to Axiom

This page explains how to send data from a Loki-based logging setup to Axiom.

Axiom doesn’t accept the Loki push API directly. Instead, replace the component that pushes to Loki with one that sends to Axiom natively. In most setups, this is a one-line change in a log shipper’s configuration.

Prerequisites

• Create an Axiom account.
• Create a dataset in Axiom where you send your data.
• Create an API token in Axiom with permissions to ingest data to the dataset you have created.

Replace the Loki output in your log shipper

Most Loki pipelines run a shipper that also has native support for Axiom. Replace the Loki output in the shipper configuration with the Axiom output, and keep the sources and transforms as they are:

• Vector
• Fluent Bit
• Fluentd
• OpenTelemetry Collector

If you use Promtail or Grafana Alloy only to ship logs to Loki, replace it with one of the shippers above.

Replace the Loki transport in your app

If your app logs through a Loki transport such as winston-loki or logging_loki, switch to the Axiom integration for your logging library:

• Node.js: Winston or Pino
• Python: Python logging

For other languages and frameworks, see Methods for sending data.
