What data for this category includes
This category's data originates from multiple official sources, including the national student financial aid management information system, school student status systems, civil affairs low-income and special hardship data, and fiscal payment systems. Updates occur once per semester. Daily processed documents include structured forms and list files such as family economic hardship certification forms, financial aid application forms, scholarship and grant review forms, disbursement rosters, and public notice materials. Fields cover core information such as student identity, family economic status, financial aid eligibility, and disbursement amounts. No additional custom statistical fields are included.
Constraints on deployment and upgrade
Multi-data source integration requires configuring multiple sets of data source connection parameters during deployment. This adapts to the interface formats and authentication rules of different systems. Semester-level batch data updates require retaining or adding scheduled synchronization task configuration items after an upgrade. This avoids errors from manual updates. Processing structured forms and list documents requires configuring dedicated structured parsing rules during deployment. This ensures the accuracy of field extraction. Since errors may affect fund disbursement and student rights, data verification configuration must be enabled during deployment and upgrade. This ensures field integrity and consistency during the review process.
How to configure the settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
MONGODB_URI | mongodb://<account>:<password>@<internal_database_address>:27017/fastgpt?authSource=admin | Stores business data for aid review. Specify the internal network database address and authentication parameters to ensure data security |
REDIS_URL | redis://:<cache password>@<intranet Redis address>:6379/0 | Caches frequently queried student status and low-income data, to keep review response time within a reasonable range |
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT | <internal storage service address>:9000 | Stores sensitive files such as public notice materials and application forms. Prioritize internal network transmission to avoid data leakage risks |
FILE_TOKEN_KEY | 32-bit random string, calibrated via actual testing | Encrypts file access tokens, to prevent unauthorized users from downloading sensitive aid materials |
ROOT_KEY | Complex random string of 16+ characters | Validates highest permissions for the management backend, to prevent unauthorized access to system configuration pages |
FE_DOMAIN | Internal network access domain or local IP:3000 | Adapts to internal network deployment environments, to ensure internal users can normally access the business process guidance page |
Three common configuration errors
- Symptom: Connection timeout errors appear when accessing external data sources during internal network deployment. Cause: HTTP proxy parameters with username and password are not configured. This prevents access to external data sources such as the national student financial aid management information system through the proxy.
- Symptom: After upgrading to FastGPT v4.17.0, the specified model configured in the application becomes invalid after switching. An incorrect model is called during chat. Cause: The original application's model configuration was not retained during the upgrade, or configuration item synchronization had an abnormality.
- Symptom: A database connection failure prompt appears when entering the workflow. Cause: The
MONGODB_URIconfiguration is incorrect. The authentication source or database name is not properly specified, preventing reading of business data for aid review.
How to verify successful configuration
- Run a data source connectivity test in the internal network environment. Call the interfaces of the national student financial aid management information system and civil affairs low-income data. Confirm that the proxy configuration takes effect and there are no connection errors.
- Log in to the system management backend. Enter the model configuration page of the corresponding application. Save the configuration and initiate a test chat. Confirm that the called model matches the configured one.
- Upload a family economic hardship certification form. Test the file upload and parsing function. Confirm that structured data can be generated normally, and that file access requires a valid token.
- Check the system operation logs. Confirm that the database connection is normal, with no authentication failure or timeout errors. This verifies that the
MONGODB_URIconfiguration is correct.
