Disable intent insights: REGULAR SERVER CRASH

[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition [Deprecated] Feedback on Rasa X

I seems as the scheduled intent insights cause our server to crash each morning.

Is there a way to disable the calculation of these insights?

Thanks, Micha

Iā€™m having this same issue, and I need an answer soon. I can no longer continue to use Rasa X if itā€™s going to murder my server every night. Itā€™s killing it to the point that it stops responding to SSH, so I canā€™t even log in to reboot.

I found this documentation that shows how to disable it using the API. Itā€™s a shame thereā€™s not an option to disable it in the GUI.

In short, authenticate with the login API to get the access token, then use that token to set the schedule to null with the putInsightConfig API endpoint.

So this is whatā€™s happening to meā€¦ How did you know it was the insights?

And yeah, Rasa X definitely needs to have settings in the GUI.

I finally figured it out this morning. Looking at my AWS monitoring dashboard, I noticed that the CPU usage shot from ~2% to ~70% starting at midnight when the insights were scheduled to start, and continued until I came in and looked at it at 7:30am. The server had started failing to respond at about 1am, so I just assume that insights is the issue. Iā€™ve disabled them now, but I wonā€™t know for sure until tomorrow that it fixed the problem.

Oh wow. I deployed on premises and donā€™t have access to this kind of monitoring.

Iā€™ve been having trouble with SSH and even kubectl get pods was too slow sometimes. I hope someone sees this thread and fixes the issue.

Once you check if that was indeed the problem, I suggest you create a new topic with the problem in the title and put a link to it here.

thank you for this info! definitely agree this needs a simpler way of setting this option

Hey @rschuetzler, any updates?

I understand that to disable insights calculation, we should do

curl --request PUT \
  --url <rasa x url>/api/insights/config \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <your access token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "schedule": null,
  "cross_validation_folds": <number of cross-validation folds>,
  "calculator_configuration": null
}'

But where can I find my access token? I tried using the one shown in Rasa Xā€™s ā€œUpload Model via APIā€ button, but it says Iā€™m not authorized after I run the curl.

Update: I did this, but still unauthorized.

curl --request PUT \
  --url '<rasa x url>/api/insights/config?api_token=<your access token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "schedule": null,
  "cross_validation_folds": <number of cross-validation folds>,
  "calculator_configuration": null
}'

you get it by using the ā€˜loginā€™ endpoint: send your username & password to log into the rasa x panel and you get an access token back to use as a bearer token for the intents settings request

Can you please guide me with commands? Sorry if this is really basic but I never worked with curl :sweat_smile:

And I donā€™t have a username for Rasa X, it just asks me for a password.

Iā€™m trying

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"  -d '{username:me, password:<password>}' http://localhost/api/auth

but I get a failure.

Update: Ok, got it. I should have written '{"username":"me", "password":"<password>"}' instead of '{username:me, password:<password>}' .

Checked this morning, and disabling insights seems to have kept things under control. My CPU is at its normal idle 2%, and the bot is still responding to requests.
