System Configuration

Customize your Sapphire Legal AI system to match your organization's needs and integrate with existing tools.

Overview

System Configuration provides centralized control over system behavior, integrations, performance, and operational settings.

Core tasks

Email configuration

• SMTP settings: Configure email server connection
• Email templates: Customize notification and invitation emails
• Delivery options: Set retry policies and delivery confirmations
• Sender verification: Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
• Bounce handling: Manage undeliverable email processing

Storage configuration

• Primary storage: Configure S3-compatible or Azure Blob storage
• Backup storage: Set up secondary storage for redundancy
• Storage policies: Configure lifecycle management and retention
• Performance tuning: Optimize storage for your workload
• Cost optimization: Configure storage tiers and compression

Database configuration

• Connection settings: Configure database connection parameters
• Performance tuning: Optimize query performance and indexing
• Backup configuration: Set up automated backup schedules
• Monitoring: Configure database health monitoring
• Maintenance windows: Schedule routine maintenance tasks

LLM provider configuration

• Provider selection: Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, or self-hosted models
• API configuration: Set API keys and endpoint URLs
• Model selection: Choose appropriate models for different tasks
• Rate limiting: Configure API usage limits and quotas
• Fallback options: Set up backup providers for reliability

Webhook configuration

• Event subscriptions: Configure which events trigger webhooks
• Endpoint configuration: Set webhook URLs and authentication
• Retry policies: Configure webhook delivery retry logic
• Security settings: Set up webhook signatures and validation
• Monitoring: Track webhook delivery success and failures

Tips & best practices

Configuration management

• Use configuration management tools for consistency
• Document all configuration changes and reasons
• Test configurations in staging environments
• Implement change management for production changes
• Regularly review and update configurations

Integration planning

• Map out all required integrations before configuration
• Test integrations thoroughly in development
• Plan for integration failures and fallbacks
• Document integration requirements and dependencies
• Coordinate with external system administrators

Performance optimization

• Monitor system performance metrics regularly
• Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks
• Optimize configurations based on usage patterns
• Plan for capacity scaling and growth
• Test performance under expected load conditions

Role-based notes

For System Administrators

• Configure and maintain system settings
• Monitor system performance and health
• Manage integrations and external connections
• Coordinate with infrastructure teams
• Maintain system documentation

For DevOps Engineers

• Automate configuration deployment
• Implement infrastructure as code
• Manage configuration versioning
• Set up monitoring and alerting
• Coordinate with development teams

For IT Managers

• Ensure compliance with IT policies
• Plan for system growth and evolution

Troubleshooting

Common configuration issues

• Email delivery failures: Check SMTP settings and authentication
• Storage connection errors: Verify credentials and network access
• Database connection issues: Check connection parameters and network
• LLM API failures: Verify API keys and rate limits
• Webhook delivery problems: Check endpoint URLs and authentication

Performance issues

• Slow response times: Check database performance and indexing
• High resource usage: Monitor CPU, memory, and storage usage
• Integration timeouts: Check external service performance
• Storage bottlenecks: Verify storage performance and capacity
• Network latency: Check network configuration and routing

What's next
