[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] At present, it is difficult to directly access the in-band logs recorded by the out-of-band BMC. Therefore, removable storage media is often used to transmit log data, which not only wastes manpower costs, but also has extremely low log collection efficiency.

[0029] Based on this, a log access method, device and server provided in an embodiment of the present invention can effectively alleviate the above problems and improve the efficiency of log collection.

[0030] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a log access method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail.

[0031] In a possible implementation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a log access method. Specifically, the method is applied to a server, wherein the server is connected to a USB storage device, such as Figure 1 A flow chart of a log access method is shown, the method comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step S102, if the server startup instruction is detected, scan whether the current server has a USB storage device mounted; if yes, execute step S104;

[0033] In this step, when the server is started, it can immediately scan whether there is a USB storage device mounted on the server.

[0034] Step S104, identifying the identification of the USB storage device and configuring corresponding path information for the USB storage device;

[0035] The identification of the USB storage device and its corresponding path information may be used to implement the loading process of the USB storage device.

[0036] Step S106, saving the correspondence between the identification of the USB storage device and the path information;

[0037] For a server with a USB storage device attached, the USB storage device can be loaded at startup, so that log data can be stored in the USB storage device in real time during the subsequent operation of the server, and the log data stored in the USB storage device can be pushed to the remote server regularly.

[0038] Step S108, obtaining log data generated during the operation of the server;

[0039] In actual use, there will be various services in the server. When the server is running, these services will generate corresponding log data. These log data are usually one or more log files automatically created and maintained by the server, including a list of activities performed by it, etc., and these log data are usually generated by the HOST motherboard of the server and can be placed in a preset memory. For example, in a Linux server, it can include multiple services, and these services will store logs generated by different applications in the server's disk, etc. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the server is connected with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) storage device, when accessing the log data, the logs generated by various services during the operation of the server can be obtained through the process of the above step S102, and then the process of the following steps S104 and S106 can be continued to be performed to store the log data in the USB storage device, thereby facilitating the remote server to access the log data.

[0040] Step S110, storing the log data in a USB storage device;

[0041] Step S112: Pushing the log data stored in the USB storage device to the remote server according to a preset period, so that the remote server can access the log data.

[0042] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned USB storage device usually has a certain storage space, which is provided to the HOST motherboard of the server as a storage device. Therefore, the log data generated on the HOST motherboard in the server can be stored in the USB storage device for easy access by the remote server.

[0043] The log access method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can scan whether the current server is mounted with a USB storage device when a startup instruction of the server is detected, and identify the identification of the USB storage device when the USB storage device is mounted, and configure corresponding path information for the USB storage device, so as to save the correspondence between the identification of the USB storage device and the path information; obtain log data generated during the operation of the server; and store the log data in the USB storage device mounted on the server, and then push the log data stored in the USB storage device to a remote server according to a preset period, so that the remote server accesses the log data, and the remote server usually refers to an out-of-band server. The above-mentioned method of synchronizing the log data to the USB storage device mounted on the server can realize that the out-of-band server directly accesses the in-band log data through the USB storage device, which not only improves the efficiency of the out-of-band server in accessing and collecting logs, but also reduces the management overhead of the server, which is convenient for promotion and use.

[0044] In actual use, the above-mentioned USB storage device is usually provided by the baseboard management controller BMC of the server. Specifically, the USB storage device can be a storage device external to the BMC, or it can be a storage device simulated only by the server's memory, that is, it is composed of RAM. It can be specifically set according to actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

[0045] Furthermore, the USB storage device generally has a certain storage space to store the log data. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of a USB storage device is shown, including a server and a remote server, wherein the remote server usually refers to an out-of-band log server, and the remote server is connected to the network adapter of the server through a data center link to achieve network connection with the server, and the server is usually also connected to the network through Ethernet technology to achieve network communication.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, two HOST_CPUs on the HOST motherboard of the server are taken as an example for explanation. The two HOST_CPU chips are directly interconnected through a UPI (Ultra Path Interconnect) bus, one of the HOST_CPU chips is connected to a PCH (Platform Controller Hub) chip through a DMI (Direct Media Interface) interface, and the baseboard management controller BMC of the server is connected to the PCH chip. The above-mentioned USB storage device in the embodiment of the present invention is connected to the BMC. Specifically, it can be directly connected to the USB interface of the BMC or other matching interfaces through the USB bus, and the BMC is required to convert and map the USB storage device into a USB storage medium provided by the BMC, and then mount it on the motherboard HOST of the server.

[0047] In actual use, the BMC is also configured with a network adapter NIC, which can be connected to the Ethernet through the NIC, thereby realizing communication between the server and an external remote controller.

[0048] based on Figure 2 In the application scenario shown, a server configured with a USB storage device in an embodiment of the present invention generally includes the following functional modules to facilitate access to log data:

[0049] (1) A USB storage device: The USB storage device has a certain storage space and is provided to the host motherboard of the server as a storage device;

[0050] (2) The server host motherboard is configured with a USB driver that matches the USB storage device and related log backup software: the USB driver identifies the USB storage device and maps the identified USB storage device to the server; the log backup software is used to store log data in the USB storage device;

[0051] (3) Server BMC: The BMC accesses the log data in the USB storage device in-band and pushes it to the remote server.

[0052] In specific implementation, based on Figure 2 In the application scenario shown, for the server with a USB storage device mounted thereon, the USB storage device can be loaded upon startup, so that log data can be stored in the USB storage device in real time during operation, and the log data stored in the USB storage device can be pushed to the remote server regularly.

[0053] Furthermore, for the USB storage devices that have been identified by the above-mentioned server, corresponding services can be further configured for them. Usually, these services are application services in the server. During the operation of the server, these services can generate log data. After the USB storage device and the path of the USB storage device are configured for each service, when the service generates log data, the log data can be stored in the USB storage data according to the corresponding path information, thereby realizing the synchronization of the log data.

[0054] In actual use, at least one service is usually configured in the server; therefore, the above log access method also includes: configuring the log data storage path of the service as the path information of the USB storage device, so that the log data generated by the service is stored in the USB storage device.

[0055] In specific implementation, the process of scanning whether a USB storage device is mounted during the startup of the above-mentioned server is executed on the HOST motherboard side of the server. After the server is started, the corresponding USB device will be scanned, and after identifying it as a USB storage device, the corresponding USB storage device can be mounted on a certain path in the server, thereby generating the above-mentioned path information. Different services in the server can choose to store the generated logs in the USB storage device. Therefore, through the above-mentioned process of configuring the log data storage path of the service as the path information of the USB storage device, the log data generated by the service can be stored in the USB storage device, which is convenient for the server's BMC to scan and push log data.

[0056] Based on this, Figure 1 On the basis of Figure 3A flowchart of another log access method is also shown, which illustrates the process of synchronous storage and push of log data. Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0057] Step S302, obtaining log data generated during the operation of the server;

[0058] Step S304, obtaining the log data storage path configured by the service that generates the log data;

[0059] Step S306, if the log data storage path is a storage path pointing to the USB storage device, the log data is stored in the USB storage device;

[0060] In specific implementation, since the server can identify and save the identification of the USB storage device and configure corresponding path information for the USB storage device when scanning the USB storage device after startup, after configuring the log data storage path of the service as the path information of the USB storage device, the server can associate and store the identification and path information of the USB storage device and the log data storage path of the service. In this way, after a service in the server generates log data, the log data storage path configured by the service that generates the log data can be obtained, and when the log data storage path is a storage path pointing to the USB storage device mounted on the server, the log data is stored in the USB storage device.

[0061] Furthermore, the above log data is usually generated on the HOST motherboard of the server and can be stored in the RAM, such as dmesg; it can also be stored in the disk on the host side, such as the message of the Linux system, etc. In the Linux server, for various services, the logs generated by different applications can be first stored in the server's disk, and the log data can be stored in the above USB storage device at the same time, so that the server's BMC can further access and push the logs stored in the USB storage device according to the following process.

[0062] Step S308, scanning the USB storage device according to a preset period by the BMC to obtain the log data stored in the USB storage device;

[0063] Step S310: Push the log data scanned by the BMC to the remote server.

[0064] Specifically, in the above step S310, when pushing the log data, a polling push method, an interrupt push method, or direct push according to a certain period, etc. can be adopted. The specific setting can be made according to the actual usage, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0065] Furthermore, for the log data stored in the USB storage device, after the BMC pushes the log data stored in the USB storage device to the remote server according to a preset period, the pushed log data can also be deleted from the USB storage device to clear the memory occupied by the log data in the USB storage device, so that the USB storage device can continue to store the daily data generated by the server later, avoiding the log data that has been pushed and accessed in the early stage from continuing to occupy the storage space of the USB storage device, which not only helps to reduce the storage cost of the log data, but also saves a certain amount of management overhead.

[0066] Further, based on the above implementation, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a log access method, which is applied to a USB storage device. Specifically, the USB storage device is mounted on a server, such as Figure 4 A flowchart of another log access method is shown, the method comprising the following steps:

[0067] Step S402, receiving log data stored in the server, wherein the log data is generated during the operation of the server;

[0068] Step S404, storing the log data in the disk of the USB storage device, so that the BMC of the server pushes the log data stored in the disk of the USB storage device to the remote server according to a preset period, so that the remote server can access the log data.

[0069] Specifically, the USB storage device is provided by the baseboard management controller BMC of the server, and the USB storage device is connected to the USB bus interface of the PCH of the server and has a certain storage space, for example, Figure 2 In the application scenario of the USB storage device shown, the USB storage device provided by the BMC is directly connected to the PCH through the USB bus, so that the log data generated by the HOST motherboard of the server can be stored in the USB storage device provided by the BMC. The BMC can also scan this USB storage device regularly and push the log data to the remote server through the NIC, so that the remote server can access the log data.

[0070] Further, corresponding to Figure 1 or Figure 3 The log access method shown in the embodiment of the present invention also provides a log access device, which is applied to a server, and the server is connected to a USB storage device, specifically, as shown in FIG.

[0073] A storage module 52 is used to store the corresponding relationship between the identification of the USB storage device and the path information;

[0074] The acquisition module 53 is used to acquire the log data generated during the operation of the server;

[0075] Storage module 54, used to store log data to a USB storage device;

[0076] The push module 55 is used to push the log data stored in the USB storage device to the remote server according to a preset period, so that the remote server can access the log data.

[0079] The configuration module is also used to configure the log data storage path of the service as the path information of the USB storage device, so that the log data generated by the service is stored in the USB storage device.

[0080] Furthermore, the storage module is specifically used for:

[0081] Get the log data storage path configured by the service that generates log data;

[0082] If the log data storage path is a storage path pointing to a USB storage device, the log data is stored in the USB storage device.

[0083] Furthermore, the push module is specifically used for:

[0084] Scan the USB storage device through the BMC according to the preset period to obtain the log data saved in the USB storage device;

[0085] Push the log data scanned by the BMC to the remote server.

[0086] Furthermore, the device also includes:

[0087] The deleting module is used to push the log data stored in the USB storage device to the remote server according to a preset period, and then delete the pushed log data from the USB storage device to clear the memory occupied by the log data in the USB storage device.

[0088] The log access device provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the same technical features as the log access method provided in the above embodiment, so it can also solve the same technical problems and achieve the same technical effects.
