What Data This Category Includes
Data for this category originates primarily from code repository commit records, API gateway access logs, database operation logs, and configuration center change records. Daily produced documents include interface design documents, database change tickets, code review records, and version release notes. Data updates occur either via daily synchronization or with version releases. Data fields include interface paths, request parameters, execution results, change timestamps, and operator information. Common units include characters, milliseconds, entries, and similar. There are no unified aggregated statistical fields.
Constraints for Citation Sources and Traceability
Code repository commit records are archived by version. Traceability requires associating version numbers to match corresponding documents, preventing cross-version confusion. API gateway logs are stored in request order. Traceability requires using request IDs to trace call chains, preventing association errors across log blocks. Interface design document fields include interface contracts and transaction boundaries. Traceability requires verifying field completeness to ensure compliance. Database change tickets are updated alongside version releases. Traceability requires ensuring traced data aligns with current version configurations. Daily updated log data requires setting reasonable retrieval time limits to avoid timeouts that prevent data recall.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Citation Token Count | Set quoteMaxToken to 800–1200 tokens | Matches the average length of a single block of backend service documentation, preventing truncation of critical traceability information |
| Response Data Traceability Toggle | Set responseData to Enabled | Directly associates with original data fields from API gateway logs and database operations |
| Traceability Detail Display Level | Set detail to Full | Displays all associated information such as code repository commit IDs and change ticket numbers |
| Citation Recall Limit | Top 5 entries | Matches the typical number of associated logs for a single backend service request, preventing retrieval overload |
| Retrieval Timeout Threshold | 60 seconds | Adapts to the typical response duration of backend service interfaces, preventing retrieval task timeouts |
| Citation Content Format | Customized by document type | Adapts to different field display rules for interface design documents and database change tickets |
Three Common Configuration Errors
- The symptom is missing citation sources at the end of knowledge base answer paragraphs. The cause is either the
responseDataconfiguration item is not enabled, or the citation template lacks a trailing citation placeholder. - The symptom is timeout errors during associated data retrieval, with a 504 status code. The cause is either the retrieval timeout threshold is set lower than backend service log retrieval times, or data source update frequency is too high, leading to excessive retrieval load.
- The symptom is only partial fields displayed for traceability data. The cause is the
detailconfiguration item is set to Compact mode, and full field display is not enabled.
How to Verify Correct Configuration
- Submit a test request including interface paths and change ticket numbers. Check for corresponding traceability information at the end of answers in the FastGPT v4.17.0 knowledge base.
- View the
quoteMaxTokenandresponseDataparameter values in the configuration panel. Confirm they match preset configurations. - Simulate high-frequency retrieval requests. Check for timeout errors to verify the timeout threshold is set appropriately.
- Switch retrieval scenarios for different document types. Confirm citation formats automatically adapt based on document type.
