Axiom gives Splunk a full-fidelity machine-data plane at petabyte scale, for over 90 percent less than the equivalent Splunk data-plane cost. Every source stays queryable from the search bar your analysts already use.
A mature Splunk setup holds years of searches, dashboards, and muscle memory that guide team investigations. However, its data layer lags behind modern machine-data demands. The operational knowledge built on it is still valuable.
Axiom holds and queries the machine data. Splunk remains the operating layer for the searches, dashboards, detections and investigations your teams have built.
Send data to Axiom over its HEC-compatible endpoint or any standard ingestion path. Then choose how Splunk reaches it: as indexes, or as commands.
Axiom-backed datasets appear as indexes that ordinary SPL can reach. In transparent mode, they can retain familiar index names, allowing existing content to continue without change.
Use Portal for seamless continuity across your estate.
Dedicated ax* commands let practitioners address Axiom explicitly from Splunk. Query or aggregate in Axiom, combine Axiom results with Splunk events, or use Axiom's broader query capabilities directly.
Use the App when practitioners want explicit access to Axiom.
High-volume sources, unexpected fields, and older history stay within immediate reach without making Splunk ingest pricing the cost of admission.
Object storage is Axiom's hot store, so data from last year sits in the same query path as data from this morning. No rehydration, no promotion into an index, no re-ingest.
They use Axiom to ingest, retain, and query the telemetry behind their products and operations. The Axiom Splunk Portal and the Axiom for Splunk app bring that data plane into Splunk, tested against over 3,000 real-world SPL queries.
Keep the workflows and operating knowledge built in Splunk while moving the estate beneath them onto Axiom's cost curve. Proof starts with one workload and compounds as it extends, into millions across a large multi-year enterprise contract.
