What data for this category looks like

Data for this category originates primarily from cloud management platforms, order systems, IAM permission systems, and billing systems. Updates are synced in real time per order. Daily documents include resource activation forms, instance configuration tables, account permission forms, and delivery confirmation forms. Fields cover instance specifications (CPU core count, memory capacity, GPU model), permission scope, billing items, order numbers, delivery status, and similar details. Common units include cores, GB, units, and yuan. Document structures are split by business processes. Individual data entries are small in size, but have strong field correlation.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on knowledge base retrieval and recall

Cross-source data synchronization requirements from multiple system sources mandate that the knowledge base be configured with cross-dataset associated recall rules. Adapting to real-time update features requires enabling incremental synchronization mechanisms. The document structure split by business processes requires that retrieval keywords match business scenario tags to avoid invalid recall of cross-category documents. The strong field correlation characteristic requires limiting field matching ranges during retrieval to prevent mismatches of irrelevant fields such as specifications and permissions. Additionally, errors directly impact customer business deployment and billing accuracy, so the precision of recall results must be improved to reduce the return of irrelevant content.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
similarity0.75–0.85This category has strong field correlation, so low-similarity irrelevant documents must be filtered to avoid returning non-cloud host provisioning content
limitTop 8 entriesDaily document volume is small, 8 entries cover all relevant business documents and avoid context overload
usingReRankEnabledMulti-field associated documents require re-ranking to raise the display priority of highly relevant results
datasetSearchUsingExtensionQueryEnabledCan automatically supplement business keywords such as "cloud host" and "resource activation" based on user questions to improve retrieval matching accuracy
collectionIdsBind knowledge base collection IDs related to cloud host provisioningLimit retrieval scope to exclude interference from documents of other categories
searchModeVector retrieval + keyword hybridBalance semantic matching and precise keyword matching to adapt to business documents with strong field correlation

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: Knowledge base documents are retrieved, but the large model response is overly concise and does not return specific clause content. Cause: datasetSearchUsingExtensionQuery is not enabled, and the full original document text is not included in the context, only abstract information is extracted.
  • Symptom: Knowledge base search takes too long, and single queries time out. Cause: The collectionIds retrieval scope is not limited, the retrieval scope covers the entire platform knowledge base, and the limit value is not adjusted, resulting in excessive redundant documents to process.
  • Symptom: Recall results include non-cloud host provisioning documents, such as cloud network configuration content. Cause: collectionIds is not configured correctly, and irrelevant knowledge base collections are bound, resulting in recall of cross-category documents.

How to confirm configurations are correctly set

  • View the retrieval logs in FastGPT v4.17.0, check whether the document sources of the recall results are all collections related to cloud host provisioning, to confirm that the collectionIds configuration takes effect.
  • Initiate a query containing specific specification parameters, check whether the returned results include the complete content of the corresponding instance configuration tables and resource activation forms, to confirm the configuration effects of datasetSearchUsingExtensionQuery and usingReRank.
  • Simulate routine business queries, verify whether retrieval latency meets business expectations, and adjust the values of similarity and limit to balance retrieval efficiency and precision.
  • Compare retrieval results of the same query across multiple attempts, confirm the consistency of recall results, and verify configuration stability.
