Log collection system

Abstract

The invention provides a log collection system which comprises a BMC module, a storage module, a control module and a mainboard serial port, the control module comprises a dial switch, and the dial switch is connected with the storage module, the BMC module and the mainboard serial port. one or more switch combinations on the dial switch are configured to switch the connection among the BMC module, the mainboard serial port and the storage module. A serial port used for log output on a mainboard of a server and a log output serial port of a BMC module are respectively connected to a storage module through a dial switch, and by means of one or more switch combinations on the dial switch, two logs can share the storage space of a storage medium on one storage module. The storage of the BMC module log is ensured, the storage of the server system log is solved, and the consumption of adding an additional serial port storage facility to each server in the traditional mode and the inconvenience in use are saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of computers, and in particular relates to a log collection system for collecting computer running logs. Background technique [0002] In computer or server hardware maintenance work, in order to quickly analyze the problem or cause of the crash after the server or computer crashes, it is necessary to monitor the operations performed during the running of the server or computer. The operation generates a corresponding log. When a computer or server crashes, you can check the log to know what caused the crash. Taking the server as an example, the current server generally has a BMC module. Usually, the BMC module is used as a controller to manage the operation of the server. It has an independent processor and an independently running operating system, usually a Unix system. The BMC module also has a fault. possible. Therefore, it is necessary to collect logs of the BMC module and server system. In the existing log c...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the different connection methods of the two, when collecting the logs of the two, the collection of the system serial port logs needs to rely on the serial port line and the server operating system and needs to be connected in real time. The large-scale deployment of the server does not require each machine in the process of business operation. Both are connected to the serial port. When the server encounters major problems such as abnormal downtime, hanging, restarting, etc., it cannot be effectively located through the serial port log.
