Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I check my pipeline health and NLP settings?

Your AI client pulls component settings and lists all available enrichments directly from watsonx Discovery. You get a clear view of your active NLP layers and project configurations without digging through the console.

Where every issue lands.

Pipeline monitoring outcomes

The AI organizes your discovery data into these specific views.

CONFIG

Component settings

The AI uses get_component_settings to pull specific parameters for your project parts. You see exactly how each piece is configured.

NLP

Active enrichments

The AI runs list_available_enrichments to show you which NLP tools are ready for your data. You can verify which processing steps are active.

AUDIT

Configuration gaps

The AI compares your current settings against your intended setup. You'll find where enrichments might be missing or misconfigured.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI identifies settings that require your direct intervention. You'll know exactly which parameters you need to change in the watsonx Discovery console.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my component settings?

    No. The AI can only read settings using get_component_settings. You must make any changes manually in watsonx Discovery.

  • 02

    Can the AI add new NLP enrichments?

    No. The AI can only list what is available. It cannot trigger the creation or activation of new enrichments.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my raw data?

    The AI only accesses the specific component settings and enrichment lists requested through the tools.

  • 04

    Can I use this to troubleshoot pipeline failures?

    Yes, by checking if the correct enrichments are active and if the component settings match your requirements.
