Understanding RAG Pipeline Status

Your RAG pipeline goes through different states as it processes your data. This page explains what each status means and what to expect during normal operation.

Status	Description
CREATED	Initial status when a pipeline is first created. Your pipeline is being set up.
DEPLOYING	The pipeline has been created, and is now being deployed.
DEPLOYED	Setup is complete and your pipeline is ready to begin processing data.
ERROR_DEPLOYING	An error occurred during deployment.
BACKFILLING	Your pipeline is performing its initial load of data into the vector database. This continues until no new data has been added for 30 seconds.
LISTENING	Your pipeline is active and monitoring your data sources for changes, but no data is currently being processed.
PROCESSING	Your pipeline has processed new data within the last 30 seconds. During normal operation, your pipeline will switch between LISTENING and PROCESSING as changes are detected.
IDLE	Your pipeline is waiting to be triggered by a schedule or manual start. You can still access the retrieval endpoint.
STARTED	Your pipeline is starting up. It will quickly move to either LISTENING or PROCESSING.
OVERQUOTA	Your pipeline has exceeded its data processing limit for the current month. You will need to upgrade plans to run your pipeline again.
HIBERNATING	Your pipeline has been inactive for 14 days (no data, no activity, no use of the retrieval endpoint). It needs to be manually restarted. If it remains inactive after restart, it will hibernate again.
