RAGFlow Admin Service & CLI

Introduction

Admin Service is a dedicated management component designed to monitor, maintain, and administrate the RAGFlow system. It provides comprehensive tools for ensuring system stability, performing operational tasks, and managing users and permissions efficiently.

The service offers real-time monitoring of critical components, including the RAGFlow server, Task Executor processes, and dependent services such as MySQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, and MinIO. It automatically checks their health status, resource usage, and uptime, and performs restarts in case of failures to minimize downtime.

For user and system management, it supports listing, creating, modifying, and deleting users and their associated resources like knowledge bases and Agents.

Built with scalability and reliability in mind, the Admin Service ensures smooth system operation and simplifies maintenance workflows.

It consists of a server-side Service and a command-line client (CLI), both implemented in Python. User commands are parsed using the Lark parsing toolkit.

• Admin Service: A backend service that interfaces with the RAGFlow system to execute administrative operations and monitor its status.
• Admin CLI: A command-line interface that allows users to connect to the Admin Service and issue commands for system management.

Starting the Admin Service

1. Before start Admin Service, please make sure RAGFlow system is already started.

2. Run the service script:

   python admin/admin_server.py
   

   The service will start and listen for incoming connections from the CLI on the configured port.

Using the Admin CLI

1. Ensure the Admin Service is running.
2. Launch the CLI client:

   python admin/admin_client.py -h 0.0.0.0 -p 9381
