## What it does

This skill handles Axiom monitors and notifiers through the public v2 API. It covers `Threshold`, `MatchEvent`, and `AnomalyDetection` monitors, with email, Slack, and custom webhook notification channels.

Included scripts list, inspect, create, update, and delete monitors and notifiers. The recommended sequence is to set up a notifier, attach it to a monitor with `notifierIds`, then inspect the monitor history. Run `scripts/setup` first and configure a deployment and token in `.axiom.toml`. An invalid or expired token returns `401 Unauthorized`; insufficient permissions can result in `403 Forbidden`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add axiomhq/skills --skill axiom-alerting -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/axiom-alerting/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add axiomhq/skills --skill axiom-alerting -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add axiomhq/skills --skill axiom-alerting -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install axiomhq/skills axiom-alerting
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add axiomhq/skills --skill axiom-alerting -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/axiomhq/skills --path skills/axiom-alerting
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add axiomhq/skills --skill axiom-alerting -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/axiomhq/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/axiom-alerting/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- create a threshold monitor for an Axiom query
- route alerts to email, Slack, or a webhook
- inspect a monitor's firing history
- adjust alert thresholds and evaluation cadence
- update an existing notifier

## Example prompts
- Create an Axiom monitor for server errors and send its alerts to Slack.
- Check monitor `<id>` history from `<startTime>` to `<endTime>`.
- Set up an email notifier for the on-call team and attach it to a monitor.

# Axiom Alerting

You manage alerting in Axiom end-to-end: notifiers for routing and monitors for detection.

## API Overview

Base URL: `https://api.axiom.co/v2/` with Bearer token auth from `.axiom.toml` (project root or `~/.axiom.toml`).

### Monitors (`/v2/monitors`)

| Operation | Method | Path |
|-----------|--------|------|
| List | GET | `/v2/monitors` |
| Get | GET | `/v2/monitors/{id}` |
| History | GET | `/v2/monitors/{id}/history` |
| Create | POST | `/v2/monitors` |
| Update | PUT | `/v2/monitors/{id}` |
| Delete | DELETE | `/v2/monitors/{id}` |

### Notifiers (`/v2/notifiers`)

| Operation | Method | Path |
|-----------|--------|------|
| List | GET | `/v2/notifiers` |
| Get | GET | `/v2/notifiers/{id}` |
| Create | POST | `/v2/notifiers` |
| Update | PUT | `/v2/notifiers/{id}` |
| Delete | DELETE | `/v2/notifiers/{id}` |

## Prerequisites

1. Run `scripts/setup`
2. Ensure `.axiom.toml` has a deployment:

```toml
[deployments.prod]
url = "https://api.axiom.co"
token = "xaat-your-token"
org_id = "your-org-id"
```

## Scripts

Core:
- `scripts/axiom-api <deploy> <method> <path> [body]`

Monitor scripts:
- `scripts/monitor-list <deployment> [--json]`
- `scripts/monitor-get <deployment> <id>`
- `scripts/monitor-history <deployment> <id> <startTime> <endTime>`
- `scripts/monitor-create <deployment> <json-file>`
- `scripts/monitor-update <deployment> <id> <json-file>`
- `scripts/monitor-delete <deployment> <id>`

Notifier scripts:
- `scripts/notifier-list <deployment> [--json]`
- `scripts/notifier-get <deployment> <id>`
- `scripts/notifier-create <deployment> <json-file>`
- `scripts/notifier-update <deployment> <id> <json-file>`
- `scripts/notifier-delete <deployment> <id>`

## Recommended Workflow

1. Create notifier first.
2. Create monitor and set `notifierIds`.
3. Validate monitor behavior with `monitor-history`.
4. Iterate monitor thresholds and schedule.

## Workflow: End-To-End Alerting

1. Run `scripts/setup`.
2. List existing notifiers with `scripts/notifier-list <deployment>` and reuse one if appropriate.
3. If no suitable notifier exists, create one with `scripts/notifier-create`.
4. Create or update the monitor with `notifierIds` attached.
5. Validate with `scripts/monitor-history <deployment> <id> <startTime> <endTime>`.
6. If behavior is noisy or silent, tune `threshold`, `rangeMinutes`, `intervalMinutes`, and N-of-M trigger fields.
7. Re-check history after each change.

## Best Practices

- Configure one channel per notifier.
- Use `emails` (not `recipients`) for email notifier payloads.
- Prefer `triggerAfterNPositiveResults`/`triggerFromNRuns` for noisy signals.
- Use explicit `bin()` in monitor queries; avoid `bin_auto()` for alert logic.
- For metrics-backed monitors, prefer `mplQuery` for definitions; API responses may include both `aplQuery` and `mplQuery`.

## Monitor Types And Operators

Monitor types:
- `Threshold`
- `MatchEvent`
- `AnomalyDetection`

Operators:
- `Above`
- `Below`
- `AboveOrEqual`
- `BelowOrEqual`
