What data for this category looks like
The data for this category primarily comes from the national student aid management information system, school student status system, civil affairs low-income and special hardship data, and fiscal payment system. The update cycle is per semester. Daily processed documents include family economic hardship assessment forms, aid application forms, scholarship and grant review forms, distribution lists, and public announcement materials. Data fields cover student identity identifiers, family economic status verification items, aid qualification determination items, and distribution information association items. No additional custom statistical indicators are included.
Constraints imposed by these characteristics on deployment and upgrade
The need to access multiple system data sources requires configuring cross-source data synchronization verification rules during deployment, preventing data inconsistency across different systems. The semester-level update cycle mandates reserving configuration items for periodic full or incremental data synchronization after an upgrade, to adapt to batch data processing at the start, middle, and end of a semester. The need to process multiple document types requires implementing separate chunking strategies for forms, lists, and public announcement materials during deployment, to improve knowledge base recall accuracy. The core focus on policy and qualification verification requires that policy documents linked to the knowledge base strictly match category-specific content. High-confidence result filtering rules must also be configured to avoid aid risks caused by mismatches. The FastGPT v4.17.0 deployment tool must be used to complete basic configuration, adapting to the new cross-source synchronization interface.
Configuration settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
DB_MAX_LINK | 100–150 concurrent connections | Adapts to concurrent requirements of multi-system data source synchronization and semester-level batch data processing |
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT | Domestic compliant cloud storage node address | Adapts to domestic data storage compliance requirements and reduces cross-region access latency |
REDIS_URL | Local dedicated Redis instance address | Caches frequently accessed policy documents and verification rules to improve Q&A response speed |
FILE_TOKEN_KEY | Custom high-strength encryption key | Ensures transmission and storage security of uploaded aid documents and associated data |
ROOT_KEY | Key for internal operation and maintenance use only | Restricts unauthorized modifications to the knowledge base and system configuration, avoiding audit risks |
Three common configuration errors
- Scenario: An error "File size limit exceeded" is returned in the interface when uploading aid documents such as family economic hardship assessment forms. Cause: The file size threshold in the storage configuration is not adjusted. The default configuration’s file upper limit is lower than the size of multi-page assessment forms common to this category.
- Scenario: A timeout prompt appears when pulling deployment images in a Linux environment, and the pull fails even after a domestic mirror source is configured. Cause: The deployment script does not specify a mirror acceleration address, or the host network proxy configuration is not synchronized to the container runtime environment.
- Scenario: After creating multiple collaborative accounts, knowledge base and review tasks cannot be shared. Cause: The associated permissions for
FE_DOMAINandREDIS_URLare not configured, causing the session and permission synchronization mechanism to fail.
How to verify correct configuration
Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.
- Check the database connection pool monitoring to confirm that the concurrent connection count does not exceed the
DB_MAX_LINKconfiguration value, and there are no connection timeout errors. - Log in to the Redis management interface to confirm that cached policy documents and verification rules load normally, with no expiration or loss.
- Test multi-account login and knowledge base sharing functions to confirm that permission synchronization works normally, with no access restricted prompts.
- Perform a cross-source data synchronization test to verify that field matching and data import across multiple system data sources have no abnormalities.
