Method and system for monitoring process

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for monitoring a process. The method mainly includes: A. monitoring the heartbeat of the process in the system, and the process regularly reports the heartbeat message; B. according to the heartbeat message reported by the process The condition identifies an abnormal process. The system mainly includes: a unit for monitoring the heartbeat of the processes in the system, and the process regularly reports heartbeat messages to the unit for monitoring the heartbeat of the processes in the system; The condition of the message identifies the abnormal unit of process. By using the method and system of the present invention, the abnormal exit of the process can be monitored in real time, and various forms of sub-process exit conditions and corresponding abnormal exit reasons can be monitored.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer applications, in particular to a method and system for monitoring a process. Background technique [0002] During the development and operation of various computer or communication products and systems, it is often encountered that the process exits abnormally, or the process falls into an infinite loop. If there is no corresponding abnormality detection mechanism and method in the product or system, it will be impossible to judge. If any process exits abnormally or if the process falls into an infinite loop, corresponding measures cannot be taken to handle the corresponding exception and recovery. Therefore, the high reliability and self-recovery of products and systems cannot be guaranteed. [0003] In the current computer operating system, the monitoring of the process and the communication between the monitored processes are generally realized by sharing resources between processes (such as semaphore c...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 2. If a process is forced to exit abnormally due to illegal address access (illegal address access), it is too late to record the abnormal reason to the shared resource area, so that the monitoring process cannot diagnose the specific reason for its abnormal exit

[0014] 2. The parent process can only detect part of the abnormal exit reasons of the child process, but cannot diagnose all abnormal exit reasons (address access illegal, etc.), which will make subsequent analysis and positioning work difficult to carry out

[0023] 2. Binding the abnormal exit detection method of the process with the specific handshake communication platform and shared memory makes the method inflexible;

[0024] 3. This method is difficult to monitor the abnormal exit of the process due to access to illegal addresses, because when an ordinary process tries to modify the content of the write-protected address space and an exception occurs, the ordinary process will immediately write the corresponding abnormal information to the shared memory area in the future. Abnormal exit, since the shared memory area does not have relevant information about the abnormal exit of the ordinary process, the monitoring process will not know exactly the reason for the abnormal exit of the ordinary process
