Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment management, in particular to a multi-level dynamic equipment management method and system. Background Art
[0002] In a multi-vendor, multi-technology, and multi-professional network environment, the number and types of network management terminals have exploded. These network management terminals may come from different manufacturers and use different technologies and professional designs, resulting in a variety of operation interfaces and management methods. Although this diversity provides a wide range of options for network management, it also brings a series of challenges:
[0003] 1. Waste of human resources and increase in operation and maintenance costs: Since the management methods and operation interfaces of each network management system vary greatly, specialized maintenance personnel are usually required to manage it. This means that in order to maintain smooth network operation, more professionals or more training may be required, resulting in waste of human resources and increase in operation and maintenance costs.
[0004] 2. Limited equipment performance collection: The efficiency and accuracy of existing network management systems are often restricted by system performance when collecting equipment performance. Especially when there are a large number of devices or a variety of devices, the pressure on the management system increases, which may lead to unstable data collection or even incomplete data collection, affecting the accurate judgment of the equipment status.
[0005] 3. Inadequate alarm information processing: Currently, there is a lack of effective mechanisms to centrally process alarm information. Since alarm information is often mixed with a large amount of useless or repeated information, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly identify and focus on processing important alarm information, which greatly reduces the efficiency of fault handling. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention aims to solve the current problems of a large number of network management terminals from multiple manufacturers, multiple scenarios, and multiple types of equipment, as well as the problem that many scenarios require a large number of devices to be managed and the collection time is long. It provides a multi-level dynamic equipment management method and system to solve the problem that equipment performance collection is often only targeted at a single device and the specific functions are weakened. It also solves the problem of high maintenance costs in multiple manufacturers and multiple business scenarios in the prior art.
[0007] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a multi-level dynamic device management method, and the technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0010] S2. Define the interface standard for the management device to collect information about the common devices it manages, and agree on the message format for the management device to send the collected information to the collection server;
[0011] S3. Based on the actual functional business requirements and considering the relationship between management devices and common devices, the devices to be managed are divided into multiple networking models. In a networking model, the topological relationship between management devices and common devices constitutes a subnet model.
[0012] S4. The device that needs to be managed has a gateway identifier. When a new device is added or a network demand occurs, the subnet model is dynamically adjusted to adapt to the new network environment.

[0014] Under the same networking model, the management device collects data from common devices according to the defined collection interface standard, and sends the collected data to the collection server through the synchronization interface according to the agreed message format.
[0015] Optionally, when a new device is added or a network demand occurs, the management device first discovers the newly connected ordinary device, identifies the ordinary device, and then automatically synchronizes the ordinary device to the corresponding subnet model, and updates the corresponding networking model and its linkage tasks.

Each networking model includes a set number of management devices and common devices. The management devices in the same group are responsible for data collection and monitoring of common devices.
[0037] In a networking model, the topological relationship between the management device and the common devices constitutes a subnet model. The management device collects data from the common devices according to the defined collection interface standard, and sends the collected data to the collection server through the synchronization interface according to the agreed message format.
[0038] S4. Both the management device and the common device to be managed have a gateway identifier. When a new device is added or a network demand occurs, the management device first discovers the newly connected common device, identifies the common device, and then automatically synchronizes the common device to the corresponding subnet model, and updates the corresponding networking model and its linkage tasks, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the subnet model to adapt to the new network environment.

In a network model, the topological relationship between the management devices and the common devices constitutes a subnet model.
[0044] The dynamic adjustment module is used to dynamically adjust the subnet model to adapt to the new network environment when new devices are added or network needs occur.
[0045] In this embodiment, the network division module involved divides the devices to be managed into multiple network models, each of which contains a set number of management devices and common devices. The management devices in the same group are responsible for data collection and monitoring of common devices. After the division, under the same network model, the management device collects data from common devices according to the defined collection interface standard, and sends the collected data to the collection server through the synchronization interface according to the agreed message format.
[0046] In this embodiment, when a new device is added or a network demand occurs, the management device first discovers the newly connected ordinary device and identifies the ordinary device, and then automatically synchronizes the ordinary device to the corresponding subnet model through the dynamic adjustment module, and updates the corresponding networking model and its linkage tasks, thereby realizing dynamic adjustment of the subnet model to adapt to the new network environment, wherein the specific adjustment content includes: changing the association relationship between the management device and the ordinary device, increasing or decreasing the connection between the management device and the ordinary device, and adjusting the grouping of the management device or the ordinary device.
