Alarm data process and its processor in network system

[0087] image 3 It is a block diagram of the first embodiment of the device of the present invention:

[0088] Among them, the fault management device 31 is used for centralized fault management of network element equipment, that is, to manage alarm data; the data collection device 32 is coupled to the fault management device 31, and is used to forward alarm data of different network element equipment to the fault Management device 31.

[0089] Each network element device actively reports its alarm data to the data collection device 32. Of course, the data collection device 32 can also obtain its alarm data by polling the network element device regularly in a certain manner.

[0090] Figure 4 It is a block diagram of the second embodiment of the device of the present invention:

[0091] As shown in the figure, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, corresponding data analysis devices are provided for the alarm data of different types of network element devices, which are used to convert the different types of alarm data into a predetermined format. In this embodiment, the device of the present invention includes:

[0092] The data collection interface 321 is used to collect alarm data of different network element devices. Each network element device actively reports its alarm data to the data collection interface 321. Of course, the data collection interface 321 can also query the network element device to obtain its alarm data;

[0093] Multiple data analysis devices, coupled to the data collection interface 321, correspond to different types of network element equipment, and are used to convert the alarm data of the network element equipment into a predetermined format;

[0094] The data forwarding interface 323 is used to forward the converted alarm data to the fault management device.

[0095] The process of collecting and forwarding alarm data is as follows:

[0096] The data collection interface 321 transmits the acquired alarm data to the corresponding data analysis device 322. In each data analysis device, there is a corresponding dynamic link library and a data conversion interface: the dynamic link library is used to provide network elements. A function required for equipment alarm data conversion; the data conversion interface is used to customize the entry/exit parameters of the dynamic link library according to the network element equipment alarm data. The data analysis device converts the alarm data of the network element equipment into a predetermined format.

[0097] For example, the alarm data reported by the network element device 1 (switching device) to the data collection interface is as follows:

[0098] +++ 808-USAU2-3 2004-02-12 13:44:33

[0099] ALARM 68339 Event Major Exchange 782 Running

[0100] Alarm name = Logical driver space is insufficient

[0101] Location info = Drive = D

[0102] Function sub-system = Control system

[0103] A/B indication = BAM

[0104] Module No. = BAM

[0105] Alarm description = When the free space of the logic drive is under 5% of

[0106] total space, this alarm is generated.

[0107] Suggestion = Please delete the invalid or overdue files to assure

[0108] the normal running of the system and contact the

[0109] technical support to change to a larger hard disk.

[0110] --- END

[0111] After the data collection interface receives the alarm data, it transmits it to the corresponding data analysis device 1. The data conversion interface in the data analysis device 1 customizes the export/entry parameters of the dynamic link library according to the alarm data of the network element equipment; The customized parameters are transmitted to the corresponding dynamic link library, which converts the alarm data of the network element equipment into a predetermined format as shown in Table 2 above.

[0112] Then, the data forwarding interface 323 forwards the converted alarm data to the fault management device 31. The fault management device 31 performs unified management of these alarm data and processes the alarm service.
