What data for this category looks like
Data for this category primarily comes from cloud billing statements, cluster monitoring systems, business traffic forecast reports, and stress test results. Daily produced documents include capacity planning reports, scaling application forms, resource utilization reports, and budget calculation sheets. Fields typically cover resource type, usage threshold, peak forecast value, procurement budget range, and other related items. Units include CPU cores, memory in GB, traffic in Mbps, and currency units. Data update frequency is usually weekly or monthly. Some core reports adjust their update cycles alongside business iterations. This document is written for FastGPT v4.17.0.
What constraints these characteristics impose on forms and interactions
Data sources are scattered and update cycles are long. Forms can collect fields entered from multiple sources or manually completed. Bulk import functionality must be implemented by external systems or downstream nodes to avoid duplicate data entry. Document structures include multi-stage approval fields. Form permission control must be implemented by external business systems or workflow configurations, allowing only corresponding roles to modify exclusive fields. The peak forecast and bottleneck localization links rely on stress test data and real-time monitoring metrics. Interactions can receive field data passed by external systems. Rapid filling logic must be implemented by external systems or downstream nodes. Budget calculations must be linked to historical cloud billing data. Unit validation rules must be configured by external business systems or downstream nodes to prevent mismatches between resource units and budget units.
How to configure
| Configuration Item | Recommended Approach | Basis for This Approach |
|---|---|---|
Form input node formInput | Test example: Select 3 fields from capacity planning and resource scaling as required inputs; actual fields are determined by the task | This node collects user input; missing required fields require checking interaction status to prevent downstream nodes from receiving incomplete input |
User selection node userSelect | Test example: Set 2 business options, check corresponding branches one by one | This node handles user selection; queries and filtering of records related to capacity planning and resource scaling must be implemented by downstream interfaces or external systems |
| Field passing after submission | Test example: Prepare 10 capacity planning and resource scaling input samples, covering full completion, missing required fields, and canceled operations | Compare input and node output to verify whether downstream nodes receive corresponding fields; result thresholds are determined by the actual task |
| External implementation item: Single data import limit | Must be implemented separately by external systems; 1000 entries (to be tested) | Adapt to the data volume of weekly reports; bulk import functionality is implemented by external systems or downstream nodes |
| External implementation item: Field validation rules | Must be configured separately by external systems; configured by external business systems or downstream nodes | Prevent unit confusion between CPU cores and budget amounts |
| External implementation item: Template saving | Must be implemented separately by external systems; implemented by external systems, recommended to classify by business scenario | Improve reuse efficiency for different business capacity planning tasks |
Three common mistakes
- Phenomenon: In the interaction flow configured for the
formInputnode, if input content that does not bind parameters required by downstream nodes is passed, the workflow execution log will prompt that the parameter is undefined. Cause: The input fields collected byformInputare not correctly associated with the parameters of downstream workflow nodes, resulting in parameters that cannot be parsed by downstream nodes. - After submitting a capacity planning and resource scaling related form, downstream nodes do not receive complete fields. Check required fields, actual submitted content, and node output mappings one by one, then check downstream interface returns; existing symptoms cannot independently determine the root cause.
- Phenomenon: When submitting a scaling application, the units of resource fields and budget fields do not match, causing the workflow to stall. Cause: Unit confusion is caused by manual entry; unit validation rules must be configured by external business systems or downstream nodes.
How to confirm correct configuration
- Import weekly resource utilization reports via external systems, verify whether the form can receive and display corresponding fields.
- Log in with different role accounts, verify that only configuration items within the corresponding permission range can be modified; permission control is implemented by external business systems or workflow configurations.
- Enter resource values with different units, check whether external validation logic triggers corresponding prompts.
- Save business scenario templates via external systems, verify that they can be quickly reused for similar capacity planning tasks.
