# Connection Issues (+2)

## Connection Issues


```python
# Problem: Cannot connect to Agenta host
# Solution: Verify host and network settings

def diagnose_connection(host: str):
    import requests

    try:
        response = requests.get(f"{host}/api/health", timeout=5)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            print("Connection successful")
        else:
            print(f"Server returned: {response.status_code}")
    except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
        print("Cannot reach server - check host/port")
    except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
        print("Connection timed out - server may be overloaded")
```


## Evaluation Failures


```python
# Problem: Evaluations failing or inconsistent
# Solution: Add retry logic and validation

def robust_evaluation(prompt: str, max_retries: int = 3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            result = ag.llm.complete(prompt=prompt)
            if validate_result(result):
                return result
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == max_retries - 1:
                raise
            time.sleep(2 ** attempt)
```


## Version Conflicts


```python
# Problem: Multiple team members editing same variant
# Solution: Use branching strategy

def create_branch_variant(base_variant: str, branch_name: str):
    # Clone variant for isolated development
    base = client.get_variant_by_name(app_name, base_variant)
    return client.create_variant(
        app_name=app_name,
        variant_name=f"{base_variant}-{branch_name}",
        config=base.config
    )
```
