# Send data from Loki Multiplexer to Axiom

> This step-by-step guide provides a gateway for you to connect a direct link interface to Axiom via Loki endpoint.

Loki by Prometheus is a multi-tenant log aggregation system that’s highly scalable and capable of indexing metadata about your logs.

Loki exposes an HTTP API for pushing, querying, and tailing Axiom log data.

Axiom Loki Proxy provides a gateway for you to connect a direct link interface to Axiom via Loki endpoint.

Using the Axiom Loki Proxy, you can ship logs to Axiom via the [Loki HTTP API](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/reference/loki-http-api/#ingest-logs).
