Update Smart RAG Configuration

Update the configuration of a smart RAG node within a specific flow in your Graphor project. Smart RAG nodes combine intelligent document processing, chunking, and retrieval operations, and their primary configuration parameter controls the number of top results to retrieve during query processing.

Overview

The Update Smart RAG Configuration endpoint allows you to modify the settings of smart RAG nodes within a flow. Smart RAG nodes are comprehensive RAG components that automatically handle document processing and retrieval, with the main configurable parameter being the number of top results to return during query execution.

Response Format

Success Response (200 OK)

{
  "success": true,

  "node_id": "smart-rag-1748287628685"
}

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
`success`	boolean	Whether the update operation was successful
`message`	string	Human-readable message describing the result
`node_id`	string	The ID of the updated smart RAG node

Configuration Strategies

Precision-Focused Strategy

Top K: 3-5 results
Best for: High-precision applications where quality is critical
Characteristics: Returns fewer, highly relevant results
Use cases: Critical decision support, expert systems, factual Q&A

Balanced Strategy

Top K: 8-12 results
Best for: General-purpose applications balancing quality and coverage
Characteristics: Good mix of precision and recall
Use cases: Customer support, knowledge management, general Q&A

Comprehensive Strategy

Top K: 15-25 results
Best for: Research applications requiring thorough coverage
Characteristics: Maximum coverage with acceptable processing overhead
Use cases: Research assistance, discovery applications, content exploration

Unlimited Strategy

Top K: null (unlimited)
Best for: Complete analysis, no result limits
Characteristics: Process all retrieved documents
Trade-offs: Higher resource usage and processing time
Use cases: Research projects, complete document analysis

Best Practices

Configuration Guidelines

Start Conservative: Begin with lower Top K values (5-10) and adjust based on quality needs
Test Systematically: Use A/B testing to compare different Top K values
Monitor Impact: Track both quality improvements and resource implications
Document Rationale: Keep records of configuration decisions and their outcomes

Performance Considerations

Resource Optimization

Lower Top K: Reduces processing resource usage
Higher Top K: Increases quality but requires more resources
Unlimited: Maximum resource usage for complete analysis

Processing Time

Lower Top K: Faster processing, reduced latency
Higher Top K: Longer processing time, higher latency
Unlimited: Slowest processing, highest latency

Performance Optimization

Balance Quality vs Resources: Higher Top K improves quality but increases resource usage
Consider Use Case: Critical applications need fewer, higher-quality results
Monitor Processing Time: Higher Top K values increase processing time
Plan for Scale: Consider resource implications when scaling to high query volumes

Quality Assurance

Measure Impact: Compare result quality before and after reranking
User Feedback: Collect feedback on result relevance and usefulness
Regular Review: Periodically assess if Top K settings remain optimal
Context Matters: Adjust Top K based on query complexity and domain

Resource Management

Set Limits: Establish resource usage limits for processing
Monitor Usage: Track resource consumption across different Top K settings
Optimize Strategically: Use higher Top K only where quality impact justifies resource usage
Consider Alternatives: Evaluate if similar quality can be achieved with lower Top K

Troubleshooting

Invalid Configuration Parameters

Solution: Verify that:

topK is a positive integer or null
Value is reasonable for your use case (typically 1-50)
Configuration follows the correct JSON structure

Poor Quality After Update

Solution: If retrieval quality decreased:

Increase topK to include more diverse results
Check if input quality is sufficient
Monitor retrieval scores and positions
Consider if the change was too aggressive

Slow Processing After Update

Solution: If processing is too slow:

Reduce topK to process fewer documents
Check system performance metrics
Monitor system resource usage
Consider if unlimited processing is necessary

Configuration Not Taking Effect

Solution: After updating configuration:

Re-run the flow to apply new settings
Check that the node status shows updated: false
Verify configuration was saved correctly
Allow time for reprocessing to complete

High Resource Usage

Solution: For resource optimization:

Review topK settings across all smart RAG nodes
Monitor processing resource metrics
Consider reducing topK for less critical applications
Implement resource usage alerts and limits
