SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, curl, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Designing and deploying complex dashboards in Axiom can be time-consuming and error-prone; this skill automates the process by orchestrating templates, scripts, and API calls to produce consistent, production-ready dashboards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dashboard Design & Blueprinting: Create repeatable dashboard layouts and panel compositions that convey the right decisions.
  • Template & MPL/APL Patterns: Leverage Splunk migration and MPL/APL patterns to speed up panel design and ensure consistency.
  • Deployment & Introspection: Validate, deploy, and update dashboards via the provided scripts, with intake workflows to gather audience, datasets, and goals.
  • Use Case: Build an oncall API service dashboard from a template, then customize dataset and filters and deploy to a shared environment.

Quick Start

Describe your audience and dataset, then use the dashboard templates and scripts to generate and deploy a production-ready dashboard.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Axiom dashboard deployment via API?

Automate Axiom dashboard deployment by using scripts to orchestrate templates, validate panel blueprints, and execute API calls. This standardizes MPL and APL-driven panels to produce consistent, production-ready dashboards across datasets.

What is the best way to standardize Axiom dashboard layouts across teams?

Standardize Axiom dashboard layouts by applying repeatable blueprint templates and MPL/APL patterns. This ensures panel compositions remain consistent across teams, speeding up design while reducing manual configuration errors.

How do I migrate Splunk queries to Axiom APL or MPL panels?

Migrate Splunk queries to Axiom APL or MPL panels by leveraging built-in migration patterns within dashboard templates. These patterns speed up panel design and ensure query logic translates consistently into Axiom's visualization framework.

Do I need curl and jq installed to generate Axiom dashboards from templates?

You need curl and jq installed to execute the dashboard generation scripts. These dependencies handle API requests and JSON data processing, enabling the validation and deployment of Axiom dashboard blueprints.

What information do I need to gather before creating an Axiom dashboard?

Gather details about your target audience, relevant datasets, and monitoring goals before creating an Axiom dashboard. This intake information guides template selection and ensures the deployed panels match your operational requirements.
