SAM first time docker install : Connection Test Failed

Solace Agent Mesh
1

Hi all,

I am new here. Wanted to test a newly downloaded SAM.. Just setting it up and part of the setup is connecting to your LLM provider.. (place where you place your API key and select an LLM provider) I get an error trying to connect for all LLM providers I tried.

Connection Test Failed

We couldn't connect to your AI provider: No response from LLM. Please check your API key, model name, and endpoint URL (if applicable). Do you want to skip this check and continue anyway?

I have installed Solace broker and SAM inside Docker Desktop. I suspect this has something todo with the connection issue. However, this is a demo setup and I just followed the demo playbook, so this means, Solace engineers must have known that I will be testing it exactly like this.. From that angle, they should have already configured the network ?

Anyway, looking for pointers on what to do and how to fix it. Would love to use Solace, but .. only if it works :slight_smile:

Second issue: All LLM model names are like OVER a year OLD. This also does not bode well for trust that this product is even maintained? I would not want to be betting my applicaiton on something that is NOT being actively updated and maintained. So the question is: Is it a current product? Should I be betting my time and effort on it?

Looking forward to hear from amazing Solace engineers on this .

Dmitry.

Hi there Dmitry,

Welcome to the Solace Community :slight_smile:

Looking at the error message you received, this reflects that your LLM endpoint is not reached! Are you able to confirm that your LLM URL and authentication is configured properly? This is the expected behaviour from SAM prior using the LLM model we attempt to confirm that the endpoint is reachable.

And regarding your second point around LLM models, I want to point out that SAM is infact model agnostic. We dont host or manage our own models or even strictly hardcode a model to operate.

Solace agent mesh is indeed an active project (you can check out our open source repo here GitHub - SolaceLabs/solace-agent-mesh: An event-driven framework designed to build and orchestrate multi-agent AI systems. It enables seamless integration of AI agents with real-world data sources and systems, facilitating complex, multi-step workflows. for latest updates on product if youre interested) with active community contributions and customers using it.

On another note, I’m curious to know what your use-case is and how what your evaluation criteria is - happy to provide any insights or answers to your questions! Feel free to DM as well.

Cheers,
