What this category of data looks like
Data for this category is generated for post-incident root cause analysis and issue closure workflows. Daily deliverables include RCA reports, incident tickets, review meeting minutes, and rectification tracking sheets. Data sources include incident timelines, system logs, monitoring metrics, and code commit records. Update frequency is either after each major incident or once per month. Data fields include unique incident identifier, root cause description, associated log entries, rectification measure entries, review participants, and rectification tracking status. Field units are flexibly defined based on the corresponding document type.
What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems
Data for this category comes from multiple dispersed sources with varied formats, including incident timelines, system logs, monitoring metrics, code commit records, and more. HTTP interfaces must support pulling and transferring multi-source heterogeneous data, and be compatible with input content in different formats. Data update frequency is triggered by incident events or once per month. Interface calls must support both on-demand and scheduled triggering modes to avoid invalid requests consuming resources. Data association relies on the unique incident identifier, so interfaces must support carrying associated parameters to complete cross-document associated queries. Status updates for rectification tracking sheets must match incident handling timelines. Interface response latency must meet the real-time requirements of the business scenario.
How to configure settings
The following configurations are formulated based on FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Bearer {pre-configured global API key} | Follow general authentication specifications for external system interfaces to ensure request security |
| Maximum data per request | 800–1200 characters | Adapt to the typical content length of RCA reports and review meeting minutes, avoiding request timeouts |
variables | Bind incident ID, associated log identifier | Enable cross-document data association and transfer, matching the data association requirements of this category |
| Request timeout | 600 seconds | Adapt to the complex data processing duration during root cause hypothesis verification, avoiding mid-process interruptions |
responseData | Map to root cause description, rectification measure fields | Directly match the core fields of daily documents for this category, simplifying subsequent data organization |
| Request retry count | 0–2 times | Adapt to occasional transmission errors in incident data, avoiding resource consumption from repeated requests |
Three common configuration mistakes
- Phenomenon: Global variables carried in interface requests are not parsed correctly, and a parameter error prompt is returned. Cause: The corresponding variable identifier is not bound in the configuration, or the variable transfer format does not meet interface requirements.
- Phenomenon: When using an HTTP interface to transfer a TXT-format incident log file, a 413 Request Entity Too Large status code is returned. Cause: The maximum data per request configuration is not adjusted, and the file size exceeds the interface's allowable transfer limit.
- Phenomenon: When calling an external system interface, a curl error is returned, indicating connection timeout. Cause: The request timeout configuration is too short, not adapting to the complex data processing duration during root cause analysis.
How to confirm successful configuration
- Initiate a test request carrying a preset unique incident identifier, check whether the returned data includes corresponding associated logs and monitoring entries, and confirm that the fields match the core content of daily documents.
- Submit test data of different sizes, verify that the request can be completed normally, and confirm that the timeout configuration meets business processing timelines.
- Initiate a request using invalid authentication credentials, confirm that the interface returns expected authentication-related prompts.
- Check the format of the response data, confirm that it meets the parsing requirements of the external system.
