Firewall monitoring method, device and network management platform

Abstract

The invention provides a firewall monitoring method, a firewall monitoring device and a network management platform. A firewall comprises a primary firewall and a standby firewall. The method comprises the steps of collecting performance indexes of a target firewall, wherein the target firewall is a firewall in a main use status among the primary firewall and the standby firewall; according to the performance indexes, judging whether firewall warning conditions are met at the moment, and acquiring a judgment result; if the judgment result shows that the firewall warning conditions are met at the moment, performing firewall warning. In the mode of mutual backup of the primary firewall and the standby firewall, the firewall device is monitored effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of firewall monitoring, in particular to a firewall monitoring method, device and network management platform. Background technique [0002] At present, in order to prevent network interruption caused by firewall equipment failure and ensure uninterrupted business operation, in the Internet or data communication network, the firewall equipment mainly adopts the operation mode of two-machine mutual backup, one is the main machine, and the other is the backup ,Such as figure 1 As shown, when the active firewall fails, it will automatically switch to the standby firewall, and the standby firewall will change to the active state and start to undertake business, so as to ensure the stable operation of the business. [0003] In actual operation, it is necessary to monitor the firewall, find faults and deal with them in time, and ensure business operation. At present, the network management system is mainly relied on to mo...

Problems solved by technology

If the switching is successful, the traffic and other performance indicators of the original active firewall will change suddenly. According to the preset threshold alarm strategy, a threshold alarm will be generated, and the standby firewall will switch to the active one without affecting the business; If the performance index changes suddenly, a threshold alarm will also be generated, and the backup firewall will fail to switch to the active side, and the business will be affected.

It can be seen that the existing technology will generate an alarm regardless of whether the active / standby switching of the firewall is successful or not, and cannot effectively monitor the firewall device
