Axiom.co observability integration for BSB. Exports logs, metrics, and traces to Axiom with OTLP tracing support.

Key Features

• Unified observability: logs, metrics, and traces
• Axiom SDK for logs and events
• OpenTelemetry tracing via OTLP
• Batch processing with configurable flush interval
• Resource attributes for consistent service metadata

Installation

npm install @bsb/observable-axiom

Configuration

Add the plugin to your BSB configuration file:

plugins:
  observables:
    - plugin: "@bsb/observable-axiom"
      enabled: true
      config:
        serviceName: "my-service"
        serviceVersion: "1.0.0"
        axiom:
          token: "${AXIOM_TOKEN}"
          dataset: "bsb-logs"
          orgId: "${AXIOM_ORG_ID}"
          # url: "https://axiom.mycompany.com" # Optional for self-hosted
        enabled:
          logs: true
          metrics: true
          traces: true
        export:
          flushIntervalMs: 5000
          maxBatchSize: 1000
        resourceAttributes:
          environment: "production"
          region: "us-east-1"
          cluster: "main"

Configuration Options

Environment Variables

AXIOM_TOKEN="xaat-your-token-here"
AXIOM_ORG_ID="your-org-id"
AXIOM_DATASET="bsb-logs"

Usage

Once configured, logs, metrics, and traces are exported automatically:

this.log.info("Service started", { userId: 123 });
const workObs = this.obs.span("process-request");
await this.events.emitEvent("user.created", { userId: "123" });
workObs.end();

Axiom Setup (Quick)

1. Create a dataset
2. Create an ingest token with dataset access
3. Set AXIOM_TOKEN and AXIOM_DATASET in the environment
