What the data for this category looks like
Data for this category originates from systems including Prometheus, Zabbix, cloud monitoring, application logs, CMDB, and others. Update frequency is daily or when configuration changes are made. Daily maintenance documents include monitoring metric lists, alert rules, on-duty manuals, and alert change records. Fields include alert trigger thresholds, associated metric names, change times, on-duty responsible persons, and more. Units include seconds, counts, percentages, and others. The standard length of a single alert configuration document is mostly between 800–1200 characters.
Constraints imposed by these characteristics on citation sources and traceability
Decentralized data sources require traceability workflows to bind unique identifiers for each system, preventing mixing of alert data from different monitoring tools. Flexible update frequencies mean referenced content must support filtering by change time, ensuring the timeliness of traceability. Document structure focuses on alert rules and metrics, requiring traceability to only associate alert-related documents and exclude irrelevant content. Numerous and high-granularity fields require precise matching of field names to complete accurate traceability; otherwise, association errors will occur. Compliance reviews require that traceability results can directly trace back to the original alert configuration, with no alert explanations lacking a source permitted.
How to configure the settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
quoteMaxToken | 800–1200 characters | Matches the standard length of a single alert configuration document |
responseData | Return only associated alert entries | Focuses on alert-related content required for compliance reviews |
detail | Show associated metrics and change records | Meets the full context required for traceability |
| Maximum number of traceability entries | Top 3 entries | Avoids excessive redundant information interfering with reviews |
| Traceability timeout threshold | 30 seconds | Matches the SLA requirements for alert responses |
| Applicable version | FastGPT v4.17.0 | Adapts to the configuration logic of the current version |
Three common configuration errors
- The symptom is an "associated data source not matched" error when viewing knowledge base citations for alert responses. The cause is failing to configure the CMDB identifier of the alert rule as a traceability association field.
- The symptom is that non-alert-related knowledge base search input and response content are displayed in the answer. The cause is failing to enable the reference filtering switch that only associates alert configurations, resulting in loading irrelevant knowledge base content.
- The symptom is traceability result loading timeout. The cause is failing to set a reasonable
quoteMaxTokenvalue, leading to loading excessive redundant document content.
How to confirm successful configuration
- Initiating a test alert allows review of the response’s citation section, confirming only associated alert rules, metric lists, and change record content are displayed.
- Checking the configured
quoteMaxTokenvalue confirms it falls within the single-document length range for alert documents. - Reviewing system logs confirms traceability requests only associate the specified Prometheus, Zabbix, and CMDB data sources.
- Simulating an alert configuration change verifies referenced content updates synchronously with the change record.
