What This Category of Data Looks Like
This category of data originates from CMDB, cloud resource inventories, automated discovery tools, and procurement ledgers. It regularly generates four types of documents: configuration item lists, service component relationship topologies, change records, and asset inventory tables. Data fields include configuration item unique identifiers, cross-component dependency relationships, change execution times, current asset status, and additional relevant information. The update frequency is daily or weekly. The data structure centers on inter-service dependency relationships, differing from single-node records used in general IT asset inventory.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on the Citation Sources and Traceability Process
The characteristic of relying on multi-source heterogeneous data requires that citation traceability must associate unique identifiers from each data source. This prevents traceability errors caused by deviations in single-source data. Fixed update rhythms require that traceability results match the latest active versions of data. This prevents review errors caused by referencing outdated configuration items. The document structure centered on service dependency relationships requires that traceability must clearly label the association links between configuration items. Recording only single asset information cannot meet the association information required for reviews. For usage scenarios targeting operations and SREs, traceability results must be compatible with the field formats of ITSM platforms. This ensures direct integration into change review workflows.
How to Configure the Settings
The following configurations apply to FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value Range | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
quoteMaxToken | 800–1200 characters | Matches the length of single records in CMDB configuration item lists, to avoid truncation of critical dependency association information |
responseData | Return only configuration item ID, dependency relationship, and source identifier fields | Filters redundant asset status descriptions, focusing on core information required for change reviews |
detail | Enabled | Displays the original collection path, tools, and version numbers of traceability data |
| Single search limit | Top 3 results | Adapts to the update frequency of CMDB data, reducing redundant results that interfere with review workflows |
| Timeout threshold | 60 seconds | Matches the average response duration of multi-source data pulling, preventing blocking of review workflows |
Three Common Configuration Errors
- Phenomenon: When searching for configuration items that do not exist in CMDB, irrelevant historical change record citations are still returned. Cause: The search scope is not limited to currently active configuration item data, resulting in recall of outdated or irrelevant traceability results.
- Phenomenon: After calling the conversation interface, the
responseDatafield does not return citation IDs. Cause: The associated ID return switch for traceability configuration is not enabled, resulting in no unique traceable identifier being generated. - Phenomenon: Configuration item traceability results exceed the page display range, causing lag in the review interface loading. Cause: The
quoteMaxTokensetting value is too large, and the character limit for single traceability content is not enforced.
How to Confirm the Configuration Is Complete
- Initiate a change review query for a known CMDB configuration item, check whether the returned results include the original source identifier of the configuration item.
- Intentionally enter non-existent configuration item keywords, confirm that no irrelevant historical data citations are returned.
- View the
detailfield in the interface return, confirm whether data collection time and source tool information are displayed. - Adjust the value of
quoteMaxToken, verify whether the character length of the returned content matches the expected setting.
