Method and apparatus for monitoring locking mechanism

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a device for monitoring a locking mechanism. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring data locking information of a network management protocol for executing locking operations, and recording the data locking information of the network management protocol; and storing the data locking information of the network management protocol.Through the method and the device, a network manager can avoid blind searches of the reason for the failure of configurations, and the accuracy and the working efficiency for solving the problems areimproved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network management, in particular to a method and device for monitoring and locking mechanisms. Background technique [0002] The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF, Network Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that provides network device configuration management, and provides mechanisms for installing, operating and deleting network device configurations. Common Open Policy Service Protocol Usage for Policy Provisioning (COPS-PR, Common Open Policy Service Protocol Usage for Policy Provisioning) is used to implement policy configuration of network devices. In general, both NETCONF and COPS-PR are used to configure network devices, and the objects of operation are the configuration data of network devices. [0003] NETCONF and COPS-PR have locking mechanisms. When NETCONF or COPS-PR operates on data, it will lock the operated data. At this time, other processes in NETCONF or COPS-PR, or other pro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

NETCONF or COPS-PR will lock the operated data when operating on the data. At this time, other processes in NETCONF or COPS-PR, or other protocols will not be able to perform configuration operations on the locked data

[0004] During the research process, the inventor found that the above-mentioned data locking mechanism will cause at least the following problems: when performing configuration operations on locked data, the operation fails, and it is impossible to know whether the operation failure is due to the locked data, and the network administrator may Without knowing the real cause or detailed information of the error, it is likely to blindly search for the cause or detailed information of the error, which seriously affects the work efficiency and reduces the accuracy of problem solving
