How to use the vFunction GenAI Powered Query Engine
Overview
In vFunction Server version 4.2, vFunction introduced the vFunction GenAI Powered Query Engine. This feature bridges the gap between natural language and technical data. By translating user written prompts into internal vFunction DB queries, the Query Engine opens new ways for users to explore and retrieve information based on their specific needs. This offers a new level of accessibility, empowering teams to uncover application specific insights for their app requirements.
These queries can be for the entire measurement or contextual, either from a specific node in the Call Tree, or related to a specific domain.
Once the query is executed successfully, users are presented with the results, along with an option to download the data as a CSV.
Only the query is sent to the GenAI provider. The result of the query is in a form that the vFunction database can process. Only then is the query executed on the data stored within the vFunction server and presented to the user.
