timeout = 30 # Instead of default 10
Strategy 3: Follow Redirects
follow_redirects = True
Enable: Toggle "π§ Enable Auto-Heal" checkbox at top

- If failed, wait 1 second
- Retry with same parameters
- Record all attempts
- Calculate success/failure
Benefits:
- Catches intermittent failures
- Tests under load
- Validates reliability
- Measures consistency
3. Real-Time Monitoring
Status: Coming in future update
Planned Features:
- Auto-refresh every 60 seconds
- Background health checks

π Troubleshooting
Issue 1: Dashboard Won't Start
Symptoms:
- Import errors

Solutions:
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements_gradio.txt
# Or use startup script
./start_gradio_dashboard.sh
Issue 2: Can't Connect to Services
Symptoms:
- FastAPI shows "β OFFLINE"
- HF Engine shows "β OFFLINE"
Solutions:
# Check if services are running
curl http://localhost:7860/health
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
# Start services if needed
python app.py # Terminal 1
cd hf-data-engine && python main.py # Terminal 2
Issue 3: Force Test Shows All Offline
Possible Causes:
- Network/firewall blocking requests
- Rate limiting from providers
- Services not started
- Datacenter IP blocking (for external APIs)
Solutions:
- Verify services are running
- Enable auto-heal for retry attempts
- Test individual endpoints first
- Check network connectivity
- Try with VPN if IP is blocked
Issue 4: Slow Performance
Causes:
- Testing too many sources at once
- Slow network connection
- Rate limiting
Solutions:
- Test in smaller batches
- Increase timeout values
- Use caching for repeated tests
- Test during off-peak hours
π‘ Best Practices
1. Regular Monitoring Schedule
Daily:
- Check dashboard overview
- Verify core services online
- Quick FastAPI endpoint test
Weekly:
- Run force test on all sources
- Review analytics
- Check for new failures
Monthly:
- Export and analyze historical data
- Identify patterns in failures
- Optimize timeout/retry settings
2. Use Auto-Heal Strategically
Enable For:
- External APIs with known intermittent issues
- Sources behind CDNs
- APIs with rate limits
Disable For:
- Internal services (faster feedback)
- Critical APIs (immediate failure notification)
- Debugging sessions
3. Custom Testing Workflow
Before Integration:
- Test new API in custom test tab
- Verify response format
- Check authentication
- Test rate limits
For Debugging:
- Use custom test with exact parameters
- Try different headers
- Increase retries
- Check response details
4. Performance Optimization
Tips:
- Cache frequently accessed data
- Adjust timeouts based on provider
- Use appropriate retry counts
- Monitor and identify slow sources
