Recommendations engine settings


Article summary

You can configure how the recommendations engine works by navigating to Quick-access menu > Plugins > Machine learning settings > Recommendation engine.

Note that the recommendations engine will not work until you install and configure the engine. Find out how to do this in the developer documentation.

Remember to click Save changes when you have finished configuring these settings. The other settings on the Recommendation engine page are only used by the legacy recommendation engine, and will be deprecated in a future release.

The Recommendation algorithm and Processing threads configurations can be modified from their default values by setting environment variables before starting the Machine Learning Service, as described in the README.md file of the Machine Learning Service (integration/extensions/ml_service/README.md).
