Runtime Settings

There are a number of settings that relate to dynamic interactions. Certain algorithms will build models in real-time for example the Bayesian Probabilistic algorithm will train models in real-time if the customer level tracking is turned on.

Processing Interval

All algorithms have a background process that train models and update the options store. This process is controlled by an environmental variable:

MONITORING_DELAY=120

The internal default is 240 seconds if the variable is not set. If you have multiple instances of a use-case running, only set the variable for one instance and disable for all others by setting the time to a very large number.

Considerations

The background process will interrogate the priors as recorded in the runtime logs and responses. This means that the settings for time window and historical count can have a big impact on your processing time and cost. If you dynamic interactions are slow and infrequent then the settings will not be as impactful as a high-volume engagement environment.
