Deleting Bots

Deleting Bots in LongTrainer

Managing the lifecycle of bots within LongTrainer includes the capability to securely and thoroughly remove a bot and all its associated data. This is crucial for maintaining data hygiene and ensuring that obsolete or redundant bots do not clutter your system.

Functionality Overview

The delete_chatbot method is designed to remove a bot from the system completely, ensuring that all its data, including documents, chats, and any other related records, are permanently deleted.

Method Signature:

def delete_chatbot(self, bot_id):

Parameters Description

  • bot_id (str): The unique identifier for the bot that you intend to delete.

Deletion Process

The deletion process follows several steps to ensure that all traces of the bot are removed:

  1. Verify Bot Existence:

  2. The method first checks if the bot exists in the system using the provided bot_id. If the bot does not exist, it raises an exception.

  3. Delete Database Entries:

  4. All documents and data entries associated with the bot are deleted from their respective MongoDB collections (chats, vision_chats, bots).

  5. Remove Data Files:

  6. Any files or data specific to the bot stored on the filesystem, such as cached data or exported CSV files, are removed.

  7. Cleanup In-memory Data:

  8. References and objects held in memory that pertain to the bot are cleared to free up resources and prevent any data leaks.

Error Handling

  • The method includes error handling to manage situations where the bot ID does not exist or there are issues accessing the filesystem to delete files.

Example Usage

# Specify the bot ID to delete
bot_id_to_delete = 'your_bot_id_here'

# Attempt to delete the bot
try:
    trainer.delete_chatbot(bot_id_to_delete)
    print("Bot successfully deleted.")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Failed to delete bot: {e}")

Considerations

  • Data Backup: Before deleting a bot, consider backing up any important data or documents associated with the bot if they might be needed later.
  • Irreversibility: Deletion is irreversible. Once a bot is deleted, it cannot be recovered, so ensure that deletion is the desired action before proceeding.
