Method and device for monitoring fault log

Abstract

The invention discloses a fault log monitoring method used for managing host to monitor a controlled machine. The method includes the configuration step that fault analysis parameters are set for thecontrolled machine; calling step that fault log of the controlled machine is called and generated; filtering step that the fault information in fault log is filtered according to the fault analysis parameters, and warning levels are set for the filtered fault information according to the set rules; warning step that warning message with warning levels is sent to the management host aiming at the filtered fault information. By adopting the monitoring method provided by the invention, automatic and precise monitoring on fault log can be realized, a plurality of service accidents are avoided occurring and a great deal of heavy loss is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fault processing technology of information equipment, in particular to a fault log monitoring method. Background technique [0002] Computers, servers and other information equipment have been widely used in all walks of life. Due to the defects of the software and hardware of the information equipment itself or the user's operation errors, equipment failures or hidden dangers will inevitably occur. If they cannot be discovered and eliminated in time, it will often cause Major accident loss. For some information equipment, using log tools to record a large amount of information generated during the operation of information equipment, and to find faults by analyzing the fault information in the log information is a relatively common fault monitoring method. However, the log information generated by the operation of information equipment is often massive, and due to the diversity and complexity of practical applications, there...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the promotion and application of IBM AIX machines (for example: IBM minicomputers, or other machines running the AIX operating system, for example: IBM OpenPower server), in many occasions, these machines are in a very important position (for example: may be running important database system), in actual operation, some hardware and software failures will occur on IBM AIX machines, for failures that immediately affect business operations, this can be found from the impact on the business, but other failures temporarily do not affect the normal operation of the business ( Some hardware has redundancy or backup, for example: one of the two mirrored hard disks is damaged, or the hardware failure level is not serious enough), for these failures that do not affect the normal operation of the business temporarily, if they cannot be detected Timely discovery and treatment may lead to more serious failures or even major accidents of system interruption after the system continues to be used for a period of time

[0004] For the above-mentioned faults that do not affect the normal operation of the business temporarily, although the maintenance personnel may also find these faults by logging in to the operating system of the IBMAIX machine (for example: checking the errpt log information), or observing the alarm indicator lights of the equipment, however, The actual situation is: maintenance personnel may seldom log in for inspection (and this requires relatively high technical requirements for operators), and their main working positions may not be next to these machines, so it is possible for the machine panel The warning lights were not paid attention to in time

[0005] The errpt monitoring log information is a function of the IBM AIX operating system. Calling #errpt can generate errpt monitoring log information. These monitoring log information may contain some hardware and software failure information, but because the generated monitoring log information is often more , there are different types of information and different severity levels, some of which are indeed faults, and some may not be faults (just some temporary errors), so it is difficult for maintenance personnel to directly analyze them. Moreover, the errpt of IBM AIX Monitoring log information does not automatically let maintenance personnel know that important information is generated, that is, there is a lack of effective fault log monitoring methods to achieve automatic fault alarms
