[0052] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for the sake of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is obvious that one or more embodiments can be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present disclosure.

[0053] The terms used herein are merely for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The terms "including", "comprising", etc. used herein indicate the presence of the described features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0054] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0055] In the case of using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C, etc.", generally, it should be interpreted according to the meaning that those skilled in the art usually understand this expression (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but not be limited to, a system having only A, only B, only C, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.). In the case of using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, or C, etc.", generally, it should be interpreted according to the meaning that those skilled in the art usually understand this expression (for example, "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" should include, but not be limited to, a system having only A, only B, only C, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C, etc.).

[0056] In the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the acquisition, storage, and application of the user's personal information, etc., all comply with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, take necessary confidentiality measures, and do not violate public order and good customs.

[0057] In the technical solutions of the present disclosure, before obtaining or collecting the user's personal information, the authorization or consent of the user has been obtained.

[0058] Gray release refers to a release method in which two versions, A and B, of an application can be smoothly transitioned. By allowing a part of the users to first use the new version B, if the users do not find any problems, the scope of version B can be gradually expanded until it is completely replaced. In the related art, the gray release of versions is becoming more and more common, and the configuration parameters can only be updated through static configuration or dynamic configuration. The dynamic configuration is that the operation and maintenance personnel of the server directly modify the parameter values of the configuration parameters in the background of the server, and then take effect in the server. For example, for the flow limiting size, by directly modifying the configuration parameters, the dynamic flow limiting control of all servers is realized. If the parameter values of the configuration parameters are set unreasonably, it may lead to the unavailability of the server, etc., causing production problems. For example, when the flow limiting adjustment is made from 50 to 100, it may directly cause a large amount of traffic to pour in, resulting in problems such as server downtime. If the dynamic configuration of the configuration center is adjusted to static configuration and released with the version, the process is cumbersome, the operation volume is large, the cost is high, and subsequent dynamic adjustment is no longer possible.

[0059] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for validating configuration parameters. By sending an update notification related to updating target configuration parameters to a target client, where the target client is determined from multiple clients; receiving an update request sent by the target client in response to the update notification; determining first server address information of the server based on the update request; and in the case where it is determined that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the gray-scale cluster, validating the parameter value of the target configuration parameter in the target server in the gray-scale cluster, where the target server is used to test the target configuration parameter.

[0060] Figure 1 Schematically shows an exemplary system architecture 100 to which the method for validating configuration parameters according to embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied. It should be noted that, Figure 1 The illustration is only an example of the system architecture to which embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied, to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but it does not mean that embodiments of the present disclosure cannot be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

[0061] As Figure 1 shown, the system architecture 100 according to this embodiment may include terminal devices 101, 102, 103, a network 104, and a server 105. The network 104 is used to provide a medium for a communication link between the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 and the server 105. The network 104 may include various connection types, such as wired and / or wireless communication links, etc.

[0062] Users can use the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 to interact with the server 105 through the network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Various communication client applications may be installed on the terminal devices 101, 102, 103, such as shopping applications, web browser applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, and / or social platform software, etc. (only as examples). The target client for receiving update notifications may be included in the client.

[0063] The terminal devices 101, 102, 103 may be various electronic devices having a display screen and supporting web browsing, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop portable computers, and desktop computers, etc.

[0064] The server 105 may be a server providing various services, such as a background management server (only as an example) that supports websites browsed by users using the terminal devices 101, 102, 103. The background management server may analyze and process data such as received user requests, etc., and feedback the processing results (such as web pages, information, or data obtained or generated according to user requests) to the terminal devices.

[0065] The service 105 may also include a target server in the grayscale cluster so that the target configuration parameters can take effect in the target server.

[0066] It should be noted that the method for the configuration parameters to take effect provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can generally be executed by the server 105. Correspondingly, the device for the configuration parameters to take effect provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can generally be set in the server 105. The method for the configuration parameters to take effect provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be executed by a server or a server cluster different from the server 105 and capable of communicating with the terminal devices 101, 102, 103, and / or the server 105. Correspondingly, the device for the configuration parameters to take effect provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be set in a server or a server cluster different from the server 105 and capable of communicating with the terminal devices 101, 102, 103, and / or the server 105.

[0067] For example, the update notification generated according to the target configuration parameters can be stored in the server 105 and sent by the server 105 to the target client. In the case where the target client sends an update request in response to the update notification, the server 105 can determine the first server address information of the server based on the update request. In the case where it is determined that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the grayscale cluster, the parameter value of the target configuration parameters is made to take effect in the target server in the grayscale cluster to test the target configuration parameters in the target server.

[0068] It should be understood that Figure 1 the numbers of the terminal devices, the network, and the servers in

[0069] Figure 2 are merely illustrative. According to the implementation requirements, there can be any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers.

[0070] As Figure 2 shown, this method is applied to a server and includes operations S201 to S204.

[0071] In operation S201, an update notification related to updating the target configuration parameters is sent to the target client, where the target client is determined from multiple clients.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the client can be an application installed in a terminal device, such as a shopping application, a web browser application, a search application, an instant messaging tool, an email client, and / or a social platform software, etc. The target client can be determined from multiple clients according to the information pre-set by the user in the client.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, information interaction can be performed with a server based on reserved information in a client. For example, a user sets in the client to update the client version at night, and the client can initiate a request to the server to update the client version at the time pre-set by the user.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target configuration parameter can be a parameter for updating in the server. For example, an update notification can be sent to the target client according to the reserved information in the target client.

[0075] In operation S202, receive an update request sent from the target client in response to the update notification.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, since the update notification is a notification for updating the target configuration parameter, after receiving the update notification, the target client can determine whether to update the target configuration parameter based on the information pre-set by the user in the target client. In the case of determining to update the target configuration parameter, an update request is sent in response to the update notification.

[0077] In operation S203, based on the update request, determine the first server address information of the server.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the update request of the target client can be sent to the server, and the first server address information can be determined based on the server that receives the update request. The first server address information can be the IP address information of the server that receives the update request.

[0079] In operation S204, in the case of determining that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the gray-scale cluster, make the parameter value of the target configuration parameter take effect in the target server in the gray-scale cluster, where the target server is used to test the target configuration parameter.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the gray-scale cluster can be a pre-set server cluster. The configuration parameter can be first updated and tested in the servers in the gray-scale cluster, and after the test is okay, it takes effect in all the servers to achieve the full-scale update of the configuration parameter in all the servers.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target server can be a server in the gray-scale cluster, and the second server address information can be the IP address information of the target server. The first server address information can be matched with the server address information of the target server in the gray-scale cluster. In the case of determining that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the gray-scale cluster, that is, the server that receives the update request is the target server, make the parameter value of the target configuration parameter take effect in the target server.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, since an update notification related to updating a target configuration parameter is sent to a target client, where the target client is determined from multiple clients; an update request sent by the target client in response to the update notification is received; based on the update request, first server address information of the server is determined; in the case where it is determined that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the gray-scale cluster, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is made effective in the target server in the gray-scale cluster, where the target server is used for testing the technical means of the target configuration parameter, by sending a release notification of the target configuration parameter to the target client, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter can be first made effective and tested in the target server, and it is not necessary to make the target configuration parameter effective in all servers, so at least partially overcome the technical problem that the method of updating the configuration parameters of the server in the related art easily causes the server to crash and cannot provide network services for the client, thereby causing production problems.

[0083] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where, before sending the update notification related to updating the target configuration parameter to the target client, the above method further includes:

[0084] Based on the parameter value before the update of the target configuration parameter, an initial gray-scale configuration version is created.

[0085] In the initial gray-scale configuration version, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is changed to obtain a target gray-scale configuration version.

[0086] Based on the target gray-scale configuration version, an update notification related to updating the target configuration parameter is generated.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial gray-scale configuration version may include the parameter value before the update of the target configuration parameter, so as to record the initial value of the target configuration parameter. For example, if the target configuration parameter is the flow limit number of the server, the parameter value before the update of the target configuration parameter may be 20.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target configuration parameter in the target gray-scale configuration version may be the parameter value after the change. For example, if the target configuration parameter is the flow limit number of the server, the parameter value after the change of the target configuration parameter may be 50.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an update notification related to updating the target configuration parameter may be generated according to the target configuration parameter changed in the target gray-scale configuration version, and the update notification may include the time when the target gray-scale configuration version is generated.

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target gray-scale configuration version is obtained through the updated target configuration parameter, thereby generating an update notification, further avoiding the problem that the server crashes due to directly making the parameter value of the target configuration parameter effective in the server.

[0091] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above method further includes:

[0092] Receiving client information and server information from multiple clients.

[0093] Based on the client information, determining the clients subscribed to the target configuration parameter as target clients.

[0094] Based on the server information, determining a gray-scale cluster from the servers corresponding to the target clients.

[0095] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, during the process of installing the client to the terminal device, the user can preset the target configuration parameter to be updated, and with the user's permission, send the client information and server information of the client to the server, where the client information may include the target configuration parameter preset by the user to be updated, and the server information may be the address information of the server for information interaction with the client.

[0096] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target configuration parameter to be updated set by the user through the subscription method in the client can be used to determine the target clients according to the clients that set the target configuration parameter to be updated in the client information.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server to be matched with the target client can be determined according to the server information of the target client, so as to determine the server matched with the target client as the gray-scale cluster.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a part of the servers are used as target servers in the gray-scale cluster through the server information, so that the target configuration parameter can take effect in the gray-scale cluster, reducing the risk of production problems caused by unreasonable changes to the configuration parameter.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the above method further includes:

[0100] Obtaining the parameter value of the original configuration parameter, where the parameter value of the original configuration parameter represents the parameter values of all the configuration parameters in the server.

[0101] Comparing the parameter value of the original configuration parameter with the parameter value of the target configuration parameter to obtain a comparison result.

[0102] Based on the comparison result, merging the parameter values of the original configuration parameter and the target configuration parameter to generate a full-scale update notice related to updating the full-scale configuration parameter.

[0103] Sending the full-scale update notice to multiple clients so that the parameter values of the full-scale configuration parameter can take effect in the server.

[0104] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameter value of the original configuration parameter may be the parameter values of the configuration parameters in all other servers except the gray-scale cluster.

[0105] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the parameter value of the original configuration parameter can be compared with the parameter value of the target configuration parameter to generate a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the parameter value of the original configuration parameter is inconsistent with the parameter value of the target configuration parameter, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is updated to the parameter value of the original configuration parameter to obtain the parameter value of the full-scale configuration parameter, and a full-scale update notification is generated based on the full-scale configuration parameter.

[0106] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the full-scale update notification can be sent to multiple clients, and the multiple clients can issue a full-scale update request in response to the full-scale update notification so that the parameter value of the full-scale configuration parameter can take effect in the server, realizing a smooth update of the configuration parameter without affecting the operation of the server.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein, in the initial gray-scale configuration version, changing the parameter value of the target configuration parameter to obtain the target gray-scale configuration version includes:

[0108] In the initial gray-scale configuration version, a gray-scale variable is created based on the target configuration parameter.

[0109] By changing the value of the gray-scale variable, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is changed to obtain the target gray-scale configuration version.

[0110] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a gray-scale variable regarding the target configuration parameter can be created in the initial gray-scale configuration version so that by changing the value of the gray-scale variable, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is changed to obtain the target gray-scale configuration version.

[0111] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a gray-scale variable related to the target configuration parameter can be created in the initial configuration version, and the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is changed by modifying the value of the gray-scale variable, thereby obtaining the target gray-scale configuration version.

[0112] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein, by changing the value of the gray-scale variable, changing the parameter value of the target configuration parameter to obtain the target gray-scale configuration version includes:

[0113] When the initial gray-scale configuration version includes the target configuration parameter, the value of the gray-scale variable is modified to modify the parameter value of the target configuration parameter to obtain the target gray-scale configuration version.

[0114] And / or

[0115] In the case where the target configuration parameter is not included in the initial grayscale configuration version, increase the value of the grayscale variable to increase the parameter value of the target configuration parameter, and obtain the target grayscale configuration version.

[0116] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the change to the grayscale variable may include modification and increase. In the case where the grayscale configuration parameter is included in the initial grayscale configuration version, the value of the grayscale variable may be set to the current parameter value of the grayscale configuration parameter, and the parameter value of the changed target configuration is obtained by modifying the value of the grayscale variable, thereby obtaining the target grayscale configuration version.

[0117] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case where the target configuration parameter is not included in the initial grayscale configuration version, a grayscale variable may be added to the initial grayscale configuration version, and the variable value of the grayscale variable is made equal to the parameter value of the target configuration parameter, thereby obtaining the target grayscale configuration version.

[0118] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the grayscale variable to change the parameter value of the target configuration parameter, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter can be changed in the initial grayscale version, without directly updating the parameter value of the target configuration parameter on the server, further improving the update of the target configuration parameter without affecting the operation of the server and enhancing the stability of the server.

[0119] Figure 3 Schematically shows a flowchart of a method for validating a configuration parameter according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0120] As Figure 3 shown, the method is applied to a target client, where the target client is determined from multiple clients, and the method includes operations S301 to S302.

[0121] In operation S301, receive an update notification related to updating the target configuration parameter sent from the server.

[0122] In operation S302, in response to the update notification, send an update request for updating the target configuration parameter to the server, so that the server determines the first server address information of the server based on the update request, and in the case where it is determined that the first server address information matches the second server address information in the grayscale cluster, the parameter value of the target configuration parameter is made effective in the target server in the grayscale cluster, where the target server is used to test the target configuration parameter.

[0123] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target client may be determined according to the information set by the user, and after receiving the update notification from the server, an update request may be automatically sent in response to the update notification.

[0124] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target client sends an update request to the server. For the detailed description of the server testing the target configuration parameters according to the update request, reference can be made to other embodiments of the present disclosure and will not be elaborated here.

[0125] Figure 4 Schematically shows an interaction flowchart between the target client and the server for the method of validating configuration parameters according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
