Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Poor Performance
Symptoms: Slow startup, High memory usage, Slow tool execution
Cause: Suboptimal configuration or resource constraints
Solution:
- Tune concurrency and pool size settings
- Optimize MCP server performance
- Check system resources and limits
- Profile application for bottlenecks
Agent Crashes Under Load
Symptoms: Out of memory errors, Process crashes
Cause: Resource limits exceeded
Solution:
- Reduce concurrency limits
- Increase memory limits if possible
- Implement graceful degradation
- Monitor resource usage patterns
MCP Server Timeouts
Symptoms: Tool execution timeouts, Connection errors
Cause: Server overload or network issues
Solution:
- Increase timeout values
- Implement retry logic
- Scale MCP server infrastructure
- Use connection pooling and caching
Azure not appearing in fast-agent
Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available
Cause: Configuration or installation issue
Solution:
- Verify configuration syntax
- Check Azure installation
- Restart fast-agent
- Check logs for error messages
