# Troubleshoot Adaptive Profiles insights

Insights are generated after a service completes a boost and sampling returns to normal.

This guide helps diagnose missing or delayed insights.

## Issue 1: Insights do not appear

Insights are not generated unless certain conditions are met. They require:

- The Grafana LLM plugin to be enabled (optional feature)
- At least one completed boost (manual or automatic)
- Enough high-resolution data captured during the boost

If any of these conditions are missing, insights do not appear.

Note: The LLM plugin is optional. Adaptive Profiles works with sampling capabilities even without the LLM plugin enabled, but AI-powered insights won’t be generated.

### What you can do

When insights are missing:

- Trigger manual boosts for one or more services
- Wait until sampling returns to baseline

Insight generation cannot be forced, and timing varies depending on:

- Boost frequency
- Available profiling data
- Backend processing load

Insights should eventually appear, especially after several manual boosts.

## Issue 2: Insights are delayed

Delays in insight generation are normal. Adaptive Profiles must:

- Wait for the boost window to close
- Retrieve boosted high-resolution samples
- Run multi-stage analysis using the Grafana LLM plugin (if enabled)

Additional delays may occur due to:

- Backend system load
- Temporary unavailability
- Low profiling volume (for example, idle services)

There is no fixed SLA for insight generation. Timing depends on service activity, boost patterns, and system availability.
