VMware self-discovery monitoring and instance topology self-discovery method

Abstract

The invention discloses a VMware self-discovery monitoring and instance topology self-discovery method, which comprises the steps of S1) designing a resource model of VMware virtualization resources,and configuring the model into a CMDB system; S2) finding corresponding virtualization resources through a VMware SDK by utilizing a user name and a password of corresponding permission by utilizing pyvmomi and pyVim modules of python; S3) combining the resource information into a JSON format conforming to the resolvable CMDB; S4) analyzing the content of the JSON by the CMDB system; S5) storing the analyzed resource information into the CMDB system for management according to a model structure; and S6) automatically generating a topological graph according to the incidence relation in the resource model of the CMDB system. According to the invention, monitoring and topology among services, data models and multi-layer architectures can be self-discovered, the architecture topology is concise, and the operation and maintenance efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a data processing method of a software system, in particular to a method for VMware self-discovery monitoring and instance topology self-discovery. Background technique [0002] In the current large-scale system design process within an enterprise, a virtualization architecture platform is indispensable, and VMware has the largest market share in the virtualization business market. Mature virtualization technology and reliable after-sales support make many enterprises choose commercial virtualization software. However, in the process of maintaining Vcenter, VMware's own monitoring alone cannot meet the individual needs and monitoring granularity of enterprises, and VMware also provides API interfaces for such scenarios to meet the needs of enterprises. [0003] At present, the common monitoring in the vCenter interface includes CPU, memory, and disk IO, which only cover the basic monitoring requirements, and the topology relati...

However, in the process of maintaining Vcenter, VMware's own monitoring alone cannot meet the individual needs and monitoring granularity of enterprises, and VMware also provides API interfaces for such scenarios to meet the needs of enterprises

[0003] At present, the common monitoring in the vCenter interface includes CPU, memory, and disk IO, which only cover the basic monitoring requirements, and the topology relationship needs to be displayed in different tab pages, and cannot be fully displayed in the same topology

[0004] It can be seen from the above that the main disadvantages of vCenter are as follows: 1. Lack of 12 types of relationship topology; 2. The monitoring information is scattered on various pages and is not complete; 3. There is a certain threshold for using vCenter. need information
