What Data for This Category Looks Like

Daily documents for this category include VPC planning, security group rules, load balancing configuration, change tickets, and more. Data sources include cloud platform consoles, network topology diagrams, traffic monitoring data, and customer architecture diagrams. Document structures typically combine structured configuration items and topology descriptions, containing fields such as network segment ranges, port rules, health check parameters, and backend server group identifiers. Update frequency aligns with each network change or configuration ticket, with no fixed batch update cycle.

Constraints Imposed on Document Parsing and Chunking

This category has a large number of structured configuration fields with strong interdependencies. When chunking, split configuration logic that spans interdependent items must be avoided. For example, splitting a network segment range and its bound security group rules will result in lost configuration context. Documents are updated frequently alongside change tickets, so chunking must support fast parsing and ingestion of small incremental content. Additionally, documents contain two types of content: topology descriptions and pure configuration parameters. Separate text extraction logic must be adapted for each format to prevent chunking errors caused by errors in topology diagram transcriptions or format differences in pure configuration items.

How to Configure Settings

The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersConfiguration items for this category are mostly combinations of short paragraphs and structured fields. 800–1200 characters can cover a complete set of configuration logic while avoiding overly long single chunks
chunkSplitterSplit by paragraph + semantic boundaryDocuments for this category contain interdependent configuration items and topology descriptions. Splitting by semantic boundaries preserves the contextual integrity of configuration items
customPdfParseEnable structured extraction modePDF documents for this category mostly come from configuration reports exported from cloud consoles. Enabling structured extraction preserves the hierarchical relationship of original configuration fields
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS600 secondsA single change ticket may include multiple associated configuration files. 600 seconds covers the parsing time required for batch files
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE1000 MBTopology diagrams and traffic monitoring log files for this category may have large file sizes. 1000 MB covers conventional batch upload requirements
chunkSettingModeCustom modeDocument structures for this category vary widely. Custom mode allows flexible adjustment of chunking rules to adapt to different types of configuration documents

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • The symptom is that network segments are truncated in the parsed chunked content. The cause is that semantic boundary splitting rules are not enabled, and splitting is only done by fixed character length, resulting in cross-network segment configuration items being split into multiple chunks.
  • The symptom is parsing timeout errors when uploading multiple configuration files in batch. The cause is that the PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS parameter is not adjusted to a value suitable for batch processing. The default timeout duration is insufficient to cover the time required for multi-file parsing.
  • The symptom is that knowledge base chunks do not retain the interdependent relationship of health check configurations. The cause is that custom chunking mode is not enabled, and general chunking rules are used to split strongly interdependent configuration fields.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Upload a single test document containing complete network segment configurations, and verify that the chunked results retain the complete logic of a single set of configurations, with no truncation or splitting anomalies.
  • Upload 3–5 identical types of configuration files in batch, check the completion status of parsing tasks, and confirm that the timeout parameter value covers the time required for the current batch upload.
  • View the chunk list in the knowledge base, confirm that the hierarchical relationship of structured configuration items matches the original document, with no field misalignment or splitting of interdependent items.
  • Call the API to obtain the chunked text stream, and verify that the returned content format conforms to the expected structured typesetting, with no scattered configuration item splits.
