Support

Description

I am trying to use verba for a RAG demo connecting verba with a weaviate sandbox.
Though i have sucessfuly uploaded my data on weaviate (sandbox) and the collection is visible in the admin panel(verba) i cannot interact with any record of the collection.
I can normally upload documents and use them in the chat section, but it seems like I cannot interact with the collections on the sandbox.

Server Setup Information

  • Weaviate Server Version: 1.26.4
  • Deployment Method: pip
  • Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: 1
  • Client Language and Version: python v4
  • Multitenancy:No

Any additional Information

hi @Dimitris_Krasakis !

Welcome to our community :hugs:

You have uploaded your content using Verba, and now want to inspect it directly in Weaviate Cloud Console?

Or was it the other way around? You have uploaded your content thru a client and now want to see it in Verba?

Verba have it’s own way of uploading, querying and generating data.

For example, Verba will query the data, and send it to the LLM to generate the answer outside of Weaviate, meaning, it doesn’t use the generative phase. It was designed that way so you can easily change the generative option and to also use the stream capabilities (the content appear while it is generated, instead of only after generated).

Let me know if this helps or how else I can help you further.

Thanks!

Let me know if this help

Hi @DudaNogueira ,

Thank you for your response,

In my case i have first created the sand box and uploaded data in a Waeviate collection.

So it is the second scenario (uploaded through a client and want to see it in Verba)

From your response I can assume that already created weaviate collections are not visible/intractable through verba and i can only querry/interact with the ones that I have uploaded through the upload document option in verba. Is this the case?

Thank you in advance.

That’s right.

If you upload your content to Weaviate, and connect a Verba instance to that same cluster, you will not be able to see those contents in Verba, as Verba has its own way of storing data.

So indeed, you need to connect your Verba to a Weaviate cluster, and upload your content from Verba.

Hope that helps!
