Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of load balancing, and in particular to a server online control method and device. Background Art

[0002] At present, server load balancing has been widely used in major server clusters, so that managers can distribute access traffic to various backend servers through built-in scheduling algorithms. However, in practice, it is found that as the service time of the server increases, the backend server will often have insufficient performance, so that new servers with the same business have to be added to the server cluster. However, since the working performance of the newly added server is difficult to achieve stability in a short period of time, if the newly added server is required to handle a large and relatively fixed amount of access traffic per unit time from the beginning, it is very likely that the newly added server will crash due to excessive access traffic, resulting in business suspension. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a server online control method and device, which can perform online control according to the situation of the server, so that the server can stably join the server cluster to perform corresponding work, thereby avoiding business freezing when the server is online.

[0004] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a server online control method, including:

[0005] Perform a health check on the server to obtain the current health status;

[0006] Determining whether the current health status is normal;

[0007] When the current health status is the normal status, determining whether the historical health status last recorded by the server is an abnormal status;

[0008] When the historical health status is the abnormal status, determining whether the abnormal cause of the server is traffic overload;

[0009] When the abnormal reason is the traffic overload, determining whether the server stores a session retention record;

[0010] When the server does not store the session retention record, the server is controlled to go online warmly.

[0011] In the above implementation process, the method can detect the change of the health status of the server to be put online, wherein, when the health status changes from abnormal state to normal state, the method can further determine whether the cause of the previous abnormality is traffic overload, and if so, determine whether there is a past session record in the server, and only when there is no past session record in the server, the method controls the server to go online warmly; on the other hand, the method can also control the server to go online warmly when the abnormal cause is not traffic overload. It can be seen that by implementing this implementation method, it is possible to determine whether a warm online is required according to the change of the health status of the server, so that the server can select a suitable online strategy according to the actual situation when going online, thereby avoiding the occurrence of business hangs while ensuring the normal use of the business; on the other hand, the method can also be used in the dynamic load balancing process of the server cluster, so that when an abnormal server appears in the server cluster or when the abnormal server is restored, the server can be stably controlled to go online, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the server cluster and avoiding the occurrence of business hangs.

[0012] Furthermore, the step of performing a health check on the server to obtain the current health status includes:

[0013] Perform an http health check on the server to get the current health status.

[0022] Health check unit, used to perform health check on the server and obtain the current health status;

[0023] A first judging unit, used to judge whether the current health status is a normal state;

[0024] A second judgment unit is used to judge whether the historical health state recorded last by the server is an abnormal state when the current health state is the normal state;

[0025] A third judgment unit is used to judge whether the abnormal cause of the server is traffic overload when the historical health status is the abnormal state;

[0026] a fourth determination unit, configured to determine whether the server stores a session retention record when the abnormal cause is the traffic overload;

[0027] An online control unit is used to control the server to go online warmly when the server does not store the session retention record.

[0028] In the above implementation process, the device can perform multi-level detection on changes in health status, possible causes of server abnormalities, and session retention records that may be stored in the server, and obtain corresponding detection results; when the detection results are obtained, the device can control the server online according to the detection results, so that the server can choose whether to go online warmly or directly according to actual conditions, thereby allowing the server to go online stably and avoid business hangs.

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a server online control method is provided for an embodiment of the present application. The server online control method includes:

[0043] S101. Perform an http health check on the server to obtain the current health status.

[0044] In this embodiment, http health check refers to a method of using http(s) protocol to monitor the target IP address to monitor indicators such as network reachability, service availability, and first packet delay of the web server of the IP address.

[0045] In this embodiment, the method requires performing an http health check on the server.

[0046] In this embodiment, the method can perform an http health check on the server, and when the check is completed, the current health status (ie, the health check result) obtained is stored in the corresponding memory for preservation in preparation for call.

[0047] S102, determine whether the current health status is normal, if so, execute step S103; if not, end this process.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0049] When the current health status is not normal, determine whether the historical health status last recorded by the server is normal;

[0050] When the historical health status is normal, obtain and record the abnormal reason of the server.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the method detects that the current health status of the server is abnormal, it can check whether the abnormal cause of the current server is traffic overload. If so, the abnormal cause is recorded as traffic overload; otherwise, the abnormal cause is recorded as other reasons.

[0052] S103, determine whether the historical health status recorded by the server last time is an abnormal state, if so, execute step S104; if not, end this process.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the historical health status is abnormal and the current health status is normal, it is considered that the server status has changed from abnormal to normal, and the abnormal reason that makes the server abnormal is checked. Specifically, the method checks whether the abnormal reason of the server is traffic overload.

[0054] S104, determine whether the abnormal reason of the server is traffic overload, if so, execute step S105; if not, execute step S106.

[0055] In this embodiment, if the abnormal reason is traffic overload, the method can continue to check whether the user device has had a session with the server and leave a session record. If yes, the server goes online directly to provide services without warm online.

[0056] In this embodiment, if the abnormal reason is not traffic overload, the server is still put online warmly, and the speed of the service processing traffic is gradually improved, so that it can finally provide services to users at full capacity.

[0057] S105: Determine whether the server stores session retention records. If yes, execute step S107; if not, execute step S106.

[0058] In this embodiment, if the abnormal reason is traffic overload, but there is no session record, the server still needs to be warm-up online to gradually increase the speed at which the server processes traffic, and ultimately enable it to provide services to users at full capacity.

[0059] S106. Control the server to go online warmly.

[0060] In this embodiment, warm launch is used to indicate opening the functions of the server part by part to avoid loading a large amount of traffic data at one time, thereby avoiding downtime or business suspension.

[0061] S107. The control server goes online directly.

[0062] In this embodiment, controlling the server to go online directly can allow the user equipment to continue to use the commonly used server, thereby improving the user experience.

[0063] In this embodiment, the method can determine whether the server needs to be warm-connected by determining the reason for the abnormal health status of the server and whether the server stores the session retention record of the device; wherein, if the server is abnormal due to traffic overload and there is a session retention record on the device, the server does not perform a warm-connection, but goes online directly to provide services to users to ensure that users have a good Internet experience.

[0064] For example, this embodiment takes the server traffic overload as an example to introduce the online control process when the server changes from an unavailable state to an available state. Figure 3 The network topology diagram that this method relies on for execution is used to represent a load balancing environment, in which three servers server1, server2, and server3 are arranged, and the scheduling algorithm is polling; at the same time, each server is configured with http health check method, warm online and other functions.

[0065] Specifically, when performing an http health check on server server3 and determining that the current health status is abnormal, check whether the server traffic is overloaded. If so, mark the server3 abnormality as traffic overload; if not, mark the server3 abnormality as other reasons. At this time, the old session traffic can still be forwarded to server3 for processing, while the new session traffic is only allowed to be forwarded to server1 and server2 for processing.

[0066] On the other hand, when server3 is re-detected as normal and the cause of the abnormality is server traffic overload, the method can detect whether there is session retention data related to the device in server3. If there is session retention data on server3, there is no need to perform warm online, and the forwarded traffic can be processed directly online. In addition, if the cause of the abnormality is not traffic overload or there is no session retention record, warm online is performed directly so that server3 can provide corresponding services according to the warm online rules.

[0067] By implementing this implementation method, the abnormal reasons for the server's traffic overload and the session retention records can be added to the process of determining whether a warm online operation is possible, so that the service quality of the server and the business on the load device can be organically combined, and the server that has returned to normal can provide services in a timely manner, so that users have a good Internet experience, and the server's work efficiency can be improved, which helps to reduce the work pressure of other servers.

[0068] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the method may be a computing device such as a computer or a server, and no limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0069] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the method may also be a smart device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0070] It can be seen that the implementation of the server online control method described in this embodiment can detect the health status change of the server to be online, wherein, when the health status changes from abnormal state to normal state, the method can further determine whether the cause of the previous abnormality is traffic overload, if so, then determine whether there is a past session record in the server, and when there is no past session record in the server, the method controls the server to go online warmly; on the other hand, the method can also control the server to go online warmly when the abnormal cause is not traffic overload. It can be seen that the implementation of this implementation method can determine whether a warm online is required according to the change of the health status of the server, so that the server can select a suitable online strategy according to the actual situation when it goes online, thereby ensuring the normal use of the business while avoiding the occurrence of business hangs; on the other hand, the method can also be used in the dynamic load balancing process of the server cluster, so that when an abnormal server appears in the server cluster or when the abnormal server recovers, the server can be stably controlled to go online, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the server cluster and avoiding the occurrence of business hangs.
