🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Collection Not Found

• Ensure documents have been successfully ingested
• Check collection name matches between ingestion and chatbot

2. API Key Errors

• Verify the appropriate API key is set for your chosen provider:
  • Groq: GROQ_API_KEY
  • OpenAI: OPENAI_API_KEY
  • Anthropic: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • Ollama: Ensure OLLAMA_API_BASE points to running Ollama instance
• Check API key validity and quota
• Verify LLM_PROVIDER environment variable is set correctly

3. File Upload Failures

• Verify file type is supported
• Check file size doesn't exceed limits
• Ensure proper file permissions

4. Performance Issues

• Reduce MAX_WORKERS if system is overloaded
• Adjust CHUNK_SIZE for better performance/accuracy balance
• Monitor disk space and memory usage

Health Checks

The system includes comprehensive health checks:

• Embedding model functionality
• ChromaDB connectivity
• Collection availability
• Disk space monitoring
• API configuration validation
