A debug pipeline provides a structured approach to identifying, isolating, and fixing issues within your code. It helps developers efficiently troubleshoot problems and ensures a systematic workflow, ultimately leading to a more robust and reliable software product. Understanding and monitoring the performance of each stage within the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline is a crucial element.

In this blog, we will discuss how we can implement a debug process for a RAG pipeline.

Adding Checkpoints for RAG Debugging

In the context of our discussion, we will manually extract information from our application, using a customized format that grants us control over the data structure. This allows us to deep dive into the data for enhanced visibility through subsequent analysis.

We use a straightforward approach: initiate an object as a bucket at the beginning of the request. This object is then passed throughout the process, gradually accumulating necessary information. Finally, this enriched object is stored in a storage.

The diagram presented here outlines the overall architecture and process flow, while data related to this architecture has been collected at various stages of the API calls.

Architecture diagram

Debug Logs Dataset

Throughout the entire process, we are collecting the following essential information:

  • Failed and successful request information for further analysis and debugging.
  • Model response and response time.
  • Prompt, context and model configuration.
  • User information and time of the request.
  • Retriever information, time taken for the request and the document it returning.
  • Reranker processing time.

Here is an example code, please read the comment in the code for better understanding.

@app.route('/api/v1/chat/multi/<retriever>/<no_model>', methods=['POST'])
def chat_multi_model(retriever, no_model):
data = request.get_json()
question = data['question']
# Declared an object to collection information along the process
info_collect = {}
model_request = ModelRequestService(model_configurations)

# Passing the information to the object to collection more information
results = model_request.process_request_multi_model(question=question, retriever=retriever, info_collect=info_collect, number_of_model=no_model)

# Adding information
info_collect['request_time'] = datetime.now()
info_collect["type"] = "multi_model"
info_collect["retiever"] = Config.RETRIEVER

# finaly added to mongo db for later analysis
insert_id = request_history_collection.insert_one(info_collect)

response = { 'results': results, 'ref': str(insert_id.inserted_id) }
return json_util.dumps(response)

Subsequently, the object “info_collect” is transferred to the method to gather additional information. We’re gathering data regarding both successful and unsuccessful calls to the watsonx.ai platform. Additionally, we’ve implemented a fallback mechanism, similar to a circuit breaker pattern. This setup forms a request chain where, if one model fails, the request is directed to the next available model. In the event that all requests fail, a predetermined default response is provided to prevent user frustration.

info_collect['info'] = info
if(response.status_code == 200):
# if the request is successful
json_response = json.loads(response.content.decode("utf-8"))

answer = json_response['results'][0]['generated_text']
afterFormat = config.format_model_output(answer)
result['prompt'] = prompt
result["raw_answer"] = answer
result["answer"] = afterFormat
result["source"] = source_url
result["question"] = question
result["model_id"] = model['model_id']
result['model_load_time'] =duration
results.append(result)
else:
# for failed request also adding a failed object to track down the issues
fail_info = {}
fail_info['prompt'] = prompt
fail_info['model_name'] = model['model_id']
fail_info['model_load_time'] =duration
fail_info['error_msg'] = f"Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}, Reason: {str(response.reason)}"
fail_info_list.append(fail_info)

info['failed_model'] = fail_info_list
info_collect["results"] = results

# Retriever information is adding here
elastic = ProcessElastic()
tic = time.perf_counter()
results_list = elastic.elastic_retervier(question)
toc = time.perf_counter()
duration = toc - tic
info['elastic_query_time'] = duration
info['elastic_result'] = results_list

# Rerankder information
tic = time.perf_counter()
context, source_url = config.reranking(question=question, results_list=results_list, max_reranked_documents=10)
info['source_url'] = source_url
toc = time.perf_counter()
duration = toc - tic
info['reranker_load_time'] = duration

Here’s a debug log we collected altogether, and we can use it to dig deeper and analyze it further.

"text": "DataOps is a collaborative data management discipline that focuses on end-to-end data management and the elimination of data silos. There are many DataOps definitions provided by the various thought leaders in this space, such as IBM, Gartner, Eckerson Group, Forbes, and DataKitchen, all of which essentially define it as \"the orchestration of people, processes, and technology to accelerate the quick delivery of high-quality data to data users.\" Built on software development frameworks such as Agile, DevOps, and Statistical Process Control, DataOps offers the following benefits:Decreases the cycle time in deploying analytical solutions\nLowers data defects\nReduces the time required to resolve data defects\nMinimizes data silosDataOps dimensions\nThere are three dimensions across which DataOps is executed: people, processes, and technology. It requires the organization of a team to promote collaboration and drive culture change, to identify and develop processes that transform existing data pipelines into DataOps pipelines, and absorb its value and identifying advantageous technical product features in a DataOps technology.The DataOps team\nDataOps supports a highly productive and tightly collaborative team that uses automation technology to help deliver efficiency gains. It comprises DataOps managers, such as data engineers, information architects, and DataOps engineers who are responsible for leading the delivery, management, and support of high-quality, mission-ready data at scale.Data engineers are responsible for data curation, data cleansing, and data availability.\nInformation architects are responsible for conceptualizing the data framework. They work with the relevant stakeholders within the enterprise to understand the business challenges and translate them into requirements and solutions.\nDataOps engineers are responsible for the frequent and timely releases of data pipelines and data products into production. Their responsibilities include end-to-end management and automation of the provision of environments, the data on the data platforms, deployment, testing, release, security, and monitoring processes.In addition to the DataOps managers, the DataOps team also consists of DataOps consumers, such as data scientists and data analysts, who ultimately turn the data into business value.Data scientists conduct research and iteratively perform experiments to create algorithms and machine learning models that address questions or solve problems.\nData analysts perform analytics to summarize and synthesize massive amounts of data in the data warehouses created by data engineers. They can also create visual representations of data to better communicate information that can be used to gain insights into the data.The DataOps process\nThe DataOps Flipbook by the IBM Worldwide Community of Information Architects provides the following conceptual view of DataOps. DataOps enables you to engineer data by creating continuous end-to-end data flows using automated processes, quality control, and self-service tools. The right capabilities in technologies and tools can help you discover and deliver data in a matter of days or hours as opposed to weeks or months.The DataOps process comprises the following steps:Step 0. Pre-Collect Planning for your project by gathering customer requirements, defining the business objectives, use cases, and KPIs.\nStep 1. Collect Identifying your existing information architecture and defining what your information architecture should be .\nStep 2. Organize Organizing your data by performing data quality analysis, ensuring data lineage is maintained since the beginning and using data cleaning to fix problems with the data.\nStep 3. Analyze Enriching your data using feature engineering, cataloging the useful features as well as models created using the data, and ensuring the models and data are versioned in order to easily track experiments and to make comparisons easier.\nStep 4.

Some tools require additional services. Heres what you can do to analyze your data:\nAnalyze data in Jupyter notebooks with the notebook editor, JupyterLab, or RStudio.\nBuild, train or solve, and test machine learning and deep learning models.\nBuild SPSS modeler flows.\nBuild and solve Decision Optimization models.\nPromote models to deployment spaces to configure, monitor, and deploy them.\nRun deep learning model experiments in parallel with neural networks.\nAutomatically analyze your data and generate candidate model pipelines customized for your predictive modeling problem.\nCreate and share dashboards of data visualizations without coding.\nThis diagram illustrates how assets move between your catalog, projects, and deployment spaces. You can populate the catalog with assets directly, or you can publish assets from projects. You find assets in the catalog and then add them to any project. When you finish developing models in a project, you promote them to the deployment space thats associated with the project. You configure and deploy models in the deployment space.\nCatalogs\nA catalog is a repository of data and analytical assets for your organization. The catalog is provided by Watson Knowledge Catalog, which is included with Watson Studio Local. Use the catalog to share assets between projects. You can move assets into the catalog when you finish with your project, or start working on your project by moving in assets from the catalog. The catalog has a limit of 50 assets and 50 collaborators. To understand other limitations of the catalog, see the comparison of Watson Knowledge Catalog features by edition.\nWatson Studio and Watson Knowledge Catalog are fully integrated:\nYou can easily move assets between projects and catalogs.\nCatalogs and projects support the same types of data assets.\nYou can easily find the assets you need in a catalog. Heres what you can do:\nSearch with keywords and filters that are based on subject tags and other asset properties.\nLook the previews of asset contents to make sure you pick the correct assets.\nRead reviews about assets that are provided by catalog collaborators.\nChoose from recommended assets that are automatically compiled based on your usage history, similar assets, and other factors.\nChoose from the most highly rated assets.\nSee Catalogs.\nDeployment spaces\nA deployment space is where you configure and deploy your models.

"text": "Db2 Data Gate blog series part 2: IBM Db2 for zOS Data Gate IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog integration - Sowmya Kameswaran \n Follow \n Cloud Pak for Data \n -- \n Listen \n Share \n By Vassil Dimov, Mateo Toi, Sowmya Kameswaran and Eirini Kalogeiton \n Introduction \n In the previous blog post we have introduced Db2 for z/OS Data Gate and described its main purpose to synchronize Db2 for z/OS data in the cloud. In this blog we will discuss how besides of the synchronization of the actual data Db2 Data Gate takes care of the corresponding metadata through the integration with Watson Knowledge Catalog. Additionally, we will highlight the business value of the integration. \n AI Ladder \n In the current business world, modernization of data and use of AI is the key to success. The guiding principles of the AI ladder defined by IBM, help organizations with business transformation based on the four key areas mentioned below: \n In this blog we will discuss how Db2 Data Gate and Watson Knowledge Catalog, representing the first two pillars of the AI Ladder, can help organizations to unlock the huge value of their Z data in the cloud. \n About Db2 Data Gate \n Db2 Data Gate enables modern high-volume, high-frequency hybrid cloud applications that need read-only access to valuable enterprise data from Db2 for z/OS. It plays a key role in the Collect pillar by enabling movement of data from Db2 for z/OS into the Cloud Pak for Data platform. With data synchronization between source Db2 for z/OS and target IBM Db2 and IBM Db2 Warehouse, applications are able to get access to current data. To learn more about IBM Db2 for z/OS Data gate, please read What is Db2 Data Gate? Db2 Data Gate Blog Series Part 1 \n About Watson Knowledge Catalog \n Watson Knowledge Catalog is an enterprise data catalog management platform that forms the core of the Organize pillar of the Cloud Pak for Data platform. A catalog connects people to the data and knowledge that they need. It is the key enabler to building the enterprise data catalog on Cloud Pak for Data that enables platform users to find, prepare, understand, and use the data as needed. The data governance framework ensures that data access and data quality are compliant with your business rules and standards. \n WKC unites all information assets into a single metadata-rich catalog, based on Watsons understanding of relationships between assets and how theyre being used and socialized among users in existing projects. It is integrated with an enterprise data governance platform that merges the analytics capabilities of Watson Studio. The data catalog assists data scientists in easily finding, preparing, understanding and using the data as needed. \n Data protection has gained importance in recent years. That is why it is so important that WKC protects data from misuse and enables sharing of assets with automated, dynamic masking of sensitive data elements. This avoids violating various data protection regulations. For instance, when handling healthcare data in the USA, companies need to be aware of HIPAA , a set of rules on how personally identifiable information maintained by the healthcare and healthcare insurance industries should be protected from fraud and theft. Moreover, any company based in the EU or offering services to people in the EU must comply with GDPR , which has a much broader scope and governs the use of all personal data. \n Db2 Data Gate and Data Fabric \n Db2 for z/OS data is core to many operational applications but also foundational to business insight. Db2 for z/OS data is some of the most indispensable within an organization for a data fabric implementation. The end-to-end Db2 Data Gate solution makes data available and synchronized for end user access within a data fabric. As compared to alternative approaches, Db2 Data Gate can be simpler, less expensive, and timelier. With Db2 Data Gate organizations can go from transaction to business action in moments. \n Db2 Data Gate 2.1 Watson Knowledge C",

"text": "NOTE: This content applies to IBM Cloud Pak for Data 4.0 and no subsequent releases.\nData breaches are not the way you want your company to make headlines, and even one data breach can mean an average cost of 3.9 million USD. With data becoming more of a competitive advantage, and with the amount of data that is produced worldwide projected to double between 2010 and 2023, the process of organizing, managing, and securing data is more important than ever. It's no surprise that the tools to take that data, organize it, govern it, and ensure quality and searchability are what you need.\nAs companies begin the process of using their data with AI, many already have the first step of collecting data complete. They store data in a database, and they use that data to inform customers of their previous transactions, conversations, and other information. The second step of organizing the data focuses on creating a foundation based on analytics. More specifically, it's about enabling your data scientists and business analysts to do their job efficiently.\nThis step is where a secure metadata management platform like the IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog on the IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform comes in. At its core, IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog connects data and knowledge with the people who need to use it. Some typical use cases for Watson Knowledge Catalog include ensuring regulatory compliance, data quality management, and data delivery. In this tutorial, I focus on privacy and protection, with the goal of minimizing the chance for a data breach.\nThis hands-on tutorial focuses on showing you how to solve the problems of enterprise data governance on the IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform from the data steward or data administrator persona. I explain how to use governance, data quality, and active policy management to help your organization protect and govern sensitive data, trace data lineage, and manage data lakes. This knowledge can help you quickly discover, curate, categorize, and share data assets, data sets, and analytical models with other members of your organization. It serves as a single source of truth for data engineers, data stewards, data scientists, and business analysts to gain self-service access to data they can trust.You need the admin role to create a catalog, and you begin the tutorial by creating a catalog and loading data.\nSet up catalog and data\nNote: The default catalog is your enterprise catalog. It is created automatically after you install the Watson Knowledge Catalog service and is the only catalog to which advanced data curation tools apply. The default catalog is governed so that data protection rules are enforced. The information assets view shows additional properties of the assets in the default catalog to aid curation. Any subsequent catalogs that you create can be governed or ungoverned, do not have an information assets view, and supply basic data curation tools.\nCreate the catalog\nProvision Watson Knowledge Catalog\nIf you haven't started Watson Knowledge Catalog yet, you'll need to provision it.Open Watson Knowledge Catalog by clicking Services at the upper right of the home page.Click Watson Knowledge Catalog in the Data governance section.Open Watson Knowledge CatalogClick Open to launch Watson Knowledge Catalog.Choose Organize, then All catalogs from the menu on the left.Click either Create catalog or New Catalog from the Your catalogs page.Name your catalog and give it an optional description.

It is a guiding principle for organizations to transform their business by providing four key areas to consider: how they collect data, organize data, analyze data, and then ultimately infuse AI into their organization. \n Breaking an AI strategy down into pieces or rungs of a ladder serves as a guiding principle for organizations, regardless of where they are on their journey. It allows them to simplify and automate how they turn data into insights by unifying the collection, organization and analysis of data, regardless of where it lives. By using the ladder to AI as a guiding framework, enterprises can build the foundation for a governed, efficient, agile, and future-proof approach to AI. \n Recommended links Awesome visualization of the AI Ladder story IBMs Journey to AI Blog The AI Ladder, by Rob Thomas IBM Analytics: Data & AIs products and client stories told in AI Ladder terms IBM Knowledge Center How Cloud Platforms Works How Watson Works \n Where the AI Ladder lives Cloud Pak for Data holds all of the services that let companies collect, prep, build, connect, deploy, analyze and monitor their data and AI implementations. \n An insight platform that combines data management with data science / AI development.

Context: Db2 Data Gate blog series part 2: IBM Db2 for zOS Data Gate IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog integration - Sowmya Kameswaran \n Follow \n Cloud Pak for Data \n -- \n Listen \n Share \n By Vassil Dimov, Mateo Toi, Sowmya Kameswaran and Eirini Kalogeiton \n Introduction \n In the previous blog post we have introduced Db2 for z/OS Data Gate and described its main purpose to synchronize Db2 for z/OS data in the cloud. In this blog we will discuss how besides of the synchronization of the actual data Db2 Data Gate takes care of the corresponding metadata through the integration with Watson Knowledge Catalog. Additionally, we will highlight the business value of the integration. \n AI Ladder \n In the current business world, modernization of data and use of AI is the key to success. The guiding principles of the AI ladder defined by IBM, help organizations with business transformation based on the four key areas mentioned below: \n In this blog we will discuss how Db2 Data Gate and Watson Knowledge Catalog, representing the first two pillars of the AI Ladder, can help organizations to unlock the huge value of their Z data in the cloud. \n About Db2 Data Gate \n Db2 Data Gate enables modern high-volume, high-frequency hybrid cloud applications that need read-only access to valuable enterprise data from Db2 for z/OS. It plays a key role in the Collect pillar by enabling movement of data from Db2 for z/OS into the Cloud Pak for Data platform. With data synchronization between source Db2 for z/OS and target IBM Db2 and IBM Db2 Warehouse, applications are able to get access to current data. To learn more about IBM Db2 for z/OS Data gate, please read What is Db2 Data Gate? Db2 Data Gate Blog Series Part 1 \n About Watson Knowledge Catalog \n Watson Knowledge Catalog is an enterprise data catalog management platform that forms the core of the Organize pillar of the Cloud Pak for Data platform. A catalog connects people to the data and knowledge that they need. It is the key enabler to building the enterprise data catalog on Cloud Pak for Data that enables platform users to find, prepare, understand, and use the data as needed. The data governance framework ensures that data access and data quality are compliant with your business rules and standards. \n WKC unites all information assets into a single metadata-rich catalog, based on Watsons understanding of relationships between assets and how theyre being used and socialized among users in existing projects. It is integrated with an enterprise data governance platform that merges the analytics capabilities of Watson Studio. The data catalog assists data scientists in easily finding, preparing, understanding and using the data as needed. \n Data protection has gained importance in recent years. That is why it is so important that WKC protects data from misuse and enables sharing of assets with automated, dynamic masking of sensitive data elements. This avoids violating various data protection regulations. For instance, when handling healthcare data in the USA, companies need to be aware of HIPAA , a set of rules on how personally identifiable information maintained by the healthcare and healthcare insurance industries should be protected from fraud and theft. Moreover, any company based in the EU or offering services to people in the EU must comply with GDPR , which has a much broader scope and governs the use of all personal data. \n Db2 Data Gate and Data Fabric \n Db2 for z/OS data is core to many operational applications but also foundational to business insight. Db2 for z/OS data is some of the most indispensable within an organization for a data fabric implementation. The end-to-end Db2 Data Gate solution makes data available and synchronized for end user access within a data fabric. As compared to alternative approaches, Db2 Data Gate can be simpler, less expensive, and timelier. With Db2 Data Gate organizations can go from transaction to business action in moments. \n Db2 Data Gate 2.1 Watson Knowledge C Question: What is watson knowledge catalog?"
