Infrastructure (AI + IN)

Stateful services

To improve the functionality and fix known security vulnerabilities in the dependencies Cognigy.AI/Cognigy Insights uses, we have updated the following dependencies:

  • Redis, from v5.0.8 to v5.0.14
  • RabbitMQ, from v3.8.3 to v3.9.20

In addition, we have released a new version of our MongoDB Helm Chart which you can use to deploy a 3-node MongoDB replica-set. We have increased the MongoDB version from v4.2.5 to v4.2.21 in this new Helm Chart. For more info, see.

Updating to this release requires you to update these stateful services. Doing this will require restating all application Pods and will come with a couple of seconds of downtime. In order to restart all Pods after you have updated MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Redis and Redis-persistent, you can use the following command:

for i in $(kubectl get deployment --namespace <target_namespace> --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'|grep service-)
do
kubectl --namespace <target_namespace> rollout restart deployment $i
done

Be sure to replace the <target_namespace> with e.g. something like cognigy-ai.

NLU services - optional

In order to avoid that you need to provision unnecessary resources in your Kubernetes clusters, we now require you to select which NLU languages you actually need in your Cognigy.AI setup. If you, for instance, want to only build bots in English language, you can activate English NLU by doing the following in your values.yaml file:

## Enable your choice of NLU service by following the below example
serviceNlpScoreEn:
  enabled: true
serviceNlpTrainEn:
  enabled: true

New services

You will also see that this release introduces two new microservices:

  • service-insights-ui
  • service-insights-api

We are slowly separating Cognigy.Insights from Cognigy.AI in order to improve scalability, stability and performance of both products. To prepare your installation, follow these steps closely in order to make sure that the upgrade is smooth:

Create a new DNS entry for service-insights-api and point it towards your loadbalancer which was provisioned when you have installed Cognigy.AI. A potential example would be the following:

Let's assume that your Cognigy.AI API is available on the DNS name api-trial.cognigy.ai a good name for the new Insights API service would be insights-api-trial.cognigy.ai - so we e.g. just prefix the Cognigy.AI API address with insights-.

Using a command like dig on Linux should reveal that both DNS names point to the same Loadbalancer address:

dig api-trial.cognigy.ai

Performing the same dig command for the new Insights API server should return similar data.

The last step is to make sure that you add the following key/value pair to the cognigyEnv section of your values.yaml file:

FEATURE_USE_SERVICE_INSIGHTS_UI: "true"
