You can customize the default RAG configuration at different levels of granularity using System parameters.
These parameters are configured in the Console under Superadmin Options > System > Parameters, where administrators can define global defaults for platform behavior.
By default, these parameters are defined at System level, but they can be overridden at Organization or Project level to support different configurations per installation.
This enables each level to define its own defaults for:
- Vector store
- Embeddings and LLM defaults
- Ingestion and document serving behavior
The following System parameters control how RAG components are configured and initialized:
| Parameter |
Description |
| RAG_DOCUMENT_SERVICE |
Defines how documents are served in RAG Assistants. See Document URLs in RAG Assistants. Defaults to 1. |
| DEFAULT_LLM_PROVIDER |
Defines the default LLM provider. Defaults to openai. |
| DEFAULT_EMBEDDINGS_PROVIDER |
Defines the default embeddings provider. Defaults to openai. |
| DEFAULT_VECTORSTORE_PROVIDER |
Defines the default vector store provider. Defaults to pinecone in SaaS environments; otherwise determined by the available options. |
| {PROVIDER}_EMBEDDINGS_TEMPLATE |
Defines the initial JSON configuration for the embeddings provider. Supported values include OPENAI_EMBEDDINGS_TEMPLATE and AZURE_EMBEDDINGS_TEMPLATE. |
| {PROVIDER}_LLM_TEMPLATE |
Defines the initial JSON configuration for the LLM provider. Supported values include OPENAI_LLM_TEMPLATE and AZURE_LLM_TEMPLATE. |
| {VECTORSTORE}_VECTORSTORE_TEMPLATE |
Defines the initial JSON configuration for the vector store. Supported values include PINECONE_VECTORSTORE_TEMPLATE, PG_VECTORSTORE_TEMPLATE, and AZURE_VECTORSTORE_TEMPLATE. |
| Parameter |
Description |
| BATCH_SIZE |
Default ingestion batch size. Defaults to 100. |
| ADVANCED_INGESTION |
Enables the integration with omni-parser API 1: Enable. Defaults to 1. |
| INGESTION_PROVIDER |
Default ingestion options: geai (default), legacy, llamaparse. |
| INGESTION_GEAI |
Default GEAI ingestion parameters. |
To change the granularity of any of these parameters, define new values at the desired level:
- System
- Organization
- Project
Parameters defined at a more specific level override those defined at higher levels. This enables different default RAG configurations depending on the system, Organization, or Project context.
