General method of configuration

AI DIAL helm chart contains various applications, and, to configure them, it is necessary to make corresponding changes to different sections of the values file.

To add environment variables to AI DIAL application, you can use either env or secrets section in specific components, e.g core.env, openai.secrets

Refer to the helm chart repository to view selected configuration examples.

Core Parameters

Refer to the AI DIAL Core to view a complete documentation.

Configure AI DIAL Core parameters in the core section of the values file.

You can provide dynamic and static settings for the AI DIAL Core:

Static settings

Refer to static settings in the AI DIAL Core repository to learn more.

Static settings are used on startup and cannot be changed while application is running. You can modify static settings in two ways:

• via environment variables
  • add a parameter to an environment variable with the prefix aidial., e.g. aidial.server.port
• by overriding the default configuration file
  • set the environment variable AIDIAL_SETTINGS with a full path to the config file
  • mount the configuration file at the above path

Dynamic settings

Dynamic settings are stored in JSON files, specified via config.files static setting, and reloaded at interval, specified via config.reload static setting.

Refer to dynamic settings in the AI DIAL Core repository to learn more.

To modify dynamic settings:

1. add the environment variable aidial.config.files, e.g. aidial.config.files: '["/mnt/secrets-store/aidial.config.json"]'
2. mount the configuration file at the provided path

Chat Parameters

You can modify adapters settings using environment variables.

Refer to these repositories to learn how to configure adapters:

• Bedrock Model Deployment
• OpenAI Model Deployment
• Vertex Model Deployment
