+This Helm chart provides a deprecated version of Axiom, previously used by a limited number of self-hosted customers. Axiom now offers Virtual Private Axiom to fulfill this use case. This chart should not be assumed to represent a data collector for use with Axiom. For more details about sending data to Axiom, please refer to our [documentation](https://www.axiom.co/docs/).
