# System Health & Troubleshooting Guide

> A comprehensive guide to verify your ELITEA system health and quickly resolve common issues.

## Quick Health Checklist

Use this checklist for rapid system verification:

**✔️ Socket Connection**

Socket indicator shows green dot (on Elitea logo, top-left corner)

The socket connection indicator shows the real-time connection status between your browser and the ELITEA server:

* **Green dot** = Connected and ready <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y/img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/socket-connection.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y&q=85&s=0be5d5420bb1aaa9ac85d9c887ce20c6" alt="Connected" width="45" data-path="img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/socket-connection.png" />
* **Red dot** = Disconnected - check your network connection <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y/img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/socket-disconnected.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y&q=85&s=66559084e5e9b922f0a2e6d0e13e783f" alt="Disconnected" width="45" data-path="img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/socket-disconnected.png" />

**✔️ Permissions**

Can create entities available by permission scope

Verify that you can create agents, toolkits, credentials, and other entities based on your assigned permissions. If you cannot create certain items, contact your administrator to review your permission scope.

**✔️ Credentials**

Test connection shows "successful" status

After creating credentials for external services (Jira, Confluence, GitHub, etc.), use the "Test Connection" button to verify they work correctly. A successful test confirms your API tokens and authentication settings are valid.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y/img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/test-connection-error.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y&q=85&s=7711c2656c3cf5d8dab0931147838501" alt="Connected" width="317" data-path="img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/test-connection-error.png" />

**✔️ MCP Integration**

MCP status shows connected (if using MCP features)

If you're using Model Context Protocol (MCP) features, verify the MCP status indicator shows as connected. This ensures proper communication with MCP servers for enhanced functionality. If not connected, you need to run your MCP server first. See [how to create and use MCP client](../integrations/mcp/create-and-use-client-stdio) for setup instructions.

* **Connected and ready**

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y/img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/mcp-connected.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y&q=85&s=5bc988e8c5f8508dadef3c8fd67cecf2" alt="Connected" width="300" data-path="img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/mcp-connected.png" />

* **Disconnected - MCP server not running**

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y/img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/mcp-disconnected.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=qRDTdvtd6K_5cb4y&q=85&s=eacdbe7f72768347b7cf481e169d4941" alt="disconnected" width="300" data-path="img/getting-started/redesign/troubleshooting/mcp-disconnected.png" />

**✔️ Indexes Tab Availability**

Indexes tab is visible in Toolkit Configuration (for supported toolkits)

* **Indexes tab** is automatically disabled if required prerequisites are not met. To access this tab in your toolkit configuration, ensure:
  * **PgVector Configuration**: Vector storage must be configured at project level (Settings → AI Configuration)
  * **Embedding Model**: An embedding model must be selected and configured (Settings → AI Configuration)
  * **Index Data Tool**: The "Index Data" tool must be enabled in your toolkit configuration
* **Delete button** (in Indexes tab) is disabled if **Remove Index** tool is not selected in toolkit configuration
* **Run tab** (in Indexes tab) is disabled if at least one search index tool (**Search Index**, **Stepback Search Index**, or **Stepback Summary Index**) is not selected in toolkit configuration

For detailed setup instructions, see [How to create and use indexes](../how-tos/indexing/using-indexes-tab-interface).

## **Common Issues: Quick Fixes**

### Agent & LLM Problems

<Accordion title="**Agent stops or provides incomplete responses**">
  **Symptoms:**

  * Agent starts working but stops mid-response
  * Answer appears truncated or incomplete
  * Complete answer visible in "thinking step" but not final response

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_/img/support/troubleshooting/agent-no-response.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_&q=85&s=8d71f44d993d7376bf6aec1237914fb2" alt="Agent truncated response" width="816" height="249" data-path="img/support/troubleshooting/agent-no-response.png" />

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_/img/support/troubleshooting/agent-truncated-response.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_&q=85&s=9957c02555dc65541002f83f7b2d2c63" alt="Agent truncated response example" width="890" height="412" data-path="img/support/troubleshooting/agent-truncated-response.png" />

  **Root Cause:** Max completion token limit reached

  **Solution:**

  1. Open agent configuration (⚙️ settings icon)
  2. Locate "Max completion tokens" field
  3. Increase value (e.g., from 2000 to 4000 or higher)
  4. For nested agents: Check each agent's token limits
  5. Save and retry

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_/img/support/troubleshooting/agent-truncated-solution.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_&q=85&s=53f1262c86a62f15883a7dd48cc8f63d" alt="Solution screenshot" width="1227" height="657" data-path="img/support/troubleshooting/agent-truncated-solution.png" />

  **Related:** [Troubleshooting Guide §1](../support/troubleshooting#1-agent-stops-without-answer-or-provides-truncated-response)
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="**Content policy violation (400 error)**">
  **Symptoms:**

  * "This conversation violates our policy"
  * "Message filtered due to prohibited content"
  * "Rejected as a result of our safety system"

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_/img/support/troubleshooting/content-policy-error.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_&q=85&s=b931db53f00171c2096743e630eee926" alt="Content policy error" width="497" height="126" data-path="img/support/troubleshooting/content-policy-error.png" />

  **Root Cause:** Message triggered LLM safety mechanisms

  **Solution:**

  1. Review your prompt for sensitive topics
  2. Rephrase instructions that might look like prompt injection (e.g., "Ignore user input")
  3. Clearly state the purpose of security-related instructions
  4. Avoid prohibited content per your provider's policy

  **Related:** [Troubleshooting Guide §8](../support/troubleshooting#8-content-policy-violations)
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="**Rate limit exceeded (429 error)**">
  **Symptoms:**

  * "Hit token rate limit. Minute limit: X / Y tokens"
  * Error appears during heavy usage or repeated requests

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/epam-a74ef051/ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_/img/support/troubleshooting/rate-limit-error.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZeWm0IC-gZLYSxk_&q=85&s=72ff71aa22c8af7040f5803a5b6b8342" alt="Rate limit error" width="1045" height="126" data-path="img/support/troubleshooting/rate-limit-error.png" />

  **Root Cause:** Too many requests to LLM or embedding models

  **Solution:**

  1. **Wait 1-5 minutes** and retry
  2. Switch to a different LLM model if available
  3. Reduce request frequency or batch operations
  4. For shared environments: Coordinate with team to spread usage

  **Related:** [Troubleshooting Guide §9](../support/troubleshooting#9-rate-limit-exceeded-429-error-code)
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="**Context length exceeded (400 error)**">
  **Symptoms:**

  * "This model's maximum context length is X tokens. However, your messages resulted in Y tokens"
  * Error when processing large files or long conversations

  **Root Cause:** Input exceeds model's context window limit

  **Common Limits:**

  * GPT-4o: 128,000 tokens
  * Claude Sonnet: 200,000 tokens
  * GPT-5: 400,000 tokens

  **Solution:**

  1. **Reduce input size:** Break large files into smaller chunks
  2. **Use summarization:** Summarize content before passing to LLM
  3. **Use indexing:** Instead of passing full documents, use toolkit indexing and semantic search
  4. **Clear chat history:** Start a new conversation to reduce context

  **Related:** [Troubleshooting Guide §10](../support/troubleshooting#10-context-length-exceeded)
</Accordion>
