DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a cross-platform unified management system and device, wherein the device includes a device end and a management end, wherein the system includes a data processing module, a management display module, a data interface module and a device service module; The device side is provided with an application server, which is used to run the device service module and the data interface module. The management side is provided with a management server, which is used to run the data processing module, the management display module and the data interface module. The device service module is deployed on the device side and is used to receive and respond to data collection requests and collect device data from the device side; the device data includes device operating status data, device configuration information, and device fault information.

[0020] The device service module is also used to provide authentication login and information acquisition interfaces; the device service module adopts WebService services, which are responsible for receiving and processing requests from the data processing module, and at the same time provide a unified interface for the data processing module to call, shielding device differences and realizing cross-platform data interaction and communication.

[0021] The data interface module is deployed on the management side and the device side respectively to support data transmission between the data processing module and the device service module; the data interface module is used to provide an interface for obtaining the device power on / off status, device software, and hardware status for the data processing module to call. The data interface module is an IPMI interface, which communicates with the device through the IPMI interface to obtain the device's operating status, configuration information, fault information, etc., to achieve remote management and monitoring of the device.

[0022] The data processing module is deployed on the management side and is used to issue data collection requests, obtain device data from the device server through the data interface module, analyze, process and store the device data, grasp the health status of the device hardware and software in real time, and generate data reports; data reports include management reports, monitoring reports and alarm reports. The data processing module stores reference information. When the data processing module is in operation, it compares the reference information with the acquired device data to perform data analysis and obtain a data report. If there is an abnormal state of the device in the data report, the user is prompted by the preset alarm method in the management display module.

[0023] The management display module is deployed on the management side and is used to visualize data reports to form visual reports, which are chart reports.

[0024] The management and display module is also used for user login authentication, displaying device status, device registration, device classification management, system log recording, configuring device alarm information, recording device anomalies, and remotely controlling devices.

[0025] The management display module includes: authentication login submodule, overview submodule, device registration submodule, device classification submodule, system log submodule, alarm submodule, and remote control submodule; The authentication login submodule has a session function, which is used to receive the user name and password information entered through the browser and perform information verification. After the verification passes, a session is generated and the system management interface is provided to the user. If the verification fails, the user is prompted with a login failure on the login page; The overview submodule is used to display the device information stored in the data processing module and display the device status; The device registration submodule provides an interface for entering device management information; The equipment classification submodule is used to add category labels to the equipment; the labels set up by the equipment classification submodule for the equipment include importance labels and category labels; the display windows of the management display module include importance windows, category windows and alarm windows. In the importance window, all equipment are arranged in descending order of importance according to the equipment's importance labels; in the category window, all equipment is classified and partitioned according to the equipment's category labels; the alarm window is used to display all equipment in alarm state separately.

[0026] The system log submodule is used to record the device status changes captured during user operations and data processing layer operations; The alarm submodule is used to record the alarm content when the equipment is abnormal, and is also used to configure the alarm mode and equipment alarm threshold; The remote control submodule is used for users to remotely start, stop and operate the equipment.

[0027] The management display layer is responsible for equipment management and presenting the management, monitoring, and alarm reports generated by the data processing layer to users in a graphical and visual manner, making it convenient for users to remotely start and stop equipment, view equipment status, and troubleshoot in real time.

[0028] The data calling methods between the data processing module and the device service module include synchronous polling method and event triggering method. The polling method is: the data processing module asynchronously sends data collection requests to the device service modules of each device end through concurrent threads according to the concurrency. After the device service module obtains the device information, it hands the data to the data processing module. The data processing module compares the data with the last state of the stored device end and updates the device state. The event triggering method is as follows: the data processing module monitors the device events through the device service module. If a new event is received, the device service module notifies the data processing module to process the new event and update the device status. If the monitoring times out and no new event is received, the device status is directly updated; when the device status is updated, the device status is stored.

[0029] The data processing module uses the stored device information and, through multi-threading, event notification and other technologies, highly concurrently accesses the Web Service deployed on the device side. It processes, compares and processes the acquired information into content that the user can understand, and stores it for easy display and comparison. If there is an abnormal state, the user will be notified in real time through an alarm.

[0030] The Web Service of the device service module improves the real-time nature of information acquisition through polling and events, and caches the current status of the device and provides it asynchronously when requested by the data processing module.

[0031] As an embodiment of the present invention, the core steps of implementing the present invention include information collection, information acquisition, information processing, information display and other processes.

[0032] Information collection: Information collection is completed by the Web Service module and IPMI interface module deployed on the device side.

[0033] In addition to processing external request interfaces, the Web Service module also adds a module for collecting device information. Through the dual mechanisms of events and polling, it calls the system layer interface and IPMI interface to obtain the device's software and hardware status.

[0034] In order to ensure the consistency of the interface when acquiring information, the design of the data structure is very important when collecting information. Thanks to the cross-platform characteristics of Python and the specifications of the IPMI interface module, the differences between software and hardware are shielded, allowing data consistency to be achieved in a set of logic.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the logic of data collection uses the event timeout mechanism to organically combine polling and looping to ensure the timeliness of device status while taking into account the reliability of data.

[0036] Information acquisition: Information acquisition is completed by the data processing layer deployed on the management side and the WebService layer deployed on the device side.

[0037] The Web Service layer provides a unified data interface. The data processing layer requests the Web Service deployed on each device through high-concurrency threads to exchange data from the device side to the management side.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, there are two points that need attention. First, with the help of the characteristics of the Web itself, the Web Service is reinforced through sessions to prevent data from being arbitrarily obtained. Second, the number of concurrent requests is reasonably deployed according to the resources of the management server. The data processing layer reserves configuration interfaces for parameters such as the number of concurrent requests and timeouts, which allow operation and maintenance personnel to adjust in real time according to the situation of the management server.

[0039] Information processing: Information acquisition is completed by the data processing layer deployed on the management side.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, after the data processing layer obtains the data to the management end, it will not store the data directly. It needs to format the data and compare it with the previously stored device status data to determine the change of the device status. If there is any abnormality, the user will be notified through the display layer, and finally the data will be stored.

[0041] Information display: Information display is completed by the management display layer deployed on the management side.

[0042] The management display layer obtains data from the database and displays it to users through web pages. Combined with charts and tables, users can intuitively view the status information of each device.

[0043] The technical advantages of the present invention are: through Web Service, data interaction and communication between different platforms can be realized without worrying about the differences between platforms, which greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the system. Unified management is achieved, and remote management and monitoring of the equipment are realized through the IPMI interface module and the Web Service module. Both hardware equipment and software systems can be managed through a unified interface, which greatly improves management efficiency. Visual display is achieved, and management reports and monitoring reports are displayed to users in a graphical and visual manner through the management display module, so that users can intuitively and clearly understand the operating status of the equipment and the working status of the system. The Web Service module combines the two mechanisms of event polling and adds an authentication module to ensure the real-time, reliability and security of the data; it is simpler and more efficient, and modular development and deployment are simple and maintenance is intuitive.

[0044] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
