Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic operation and maintenance systems for operating systems, and more specifically to a method for implementing automatic operation and maintenance of a Linux operating system. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous deepening of enterprise informatization construction, the Linux operating system has been widely used in the server field due to its open source, stable and secure features. However, with the increase in the number of servers, the traditional manual operation and maintenance methods can no longer meet the needs of efficient, safe and reliable operation and maintenance. Therefore, realizing the automated operation and maintenance of the Linux operating system has become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry.

[0003] Automated operation and maintenance means ensuring efficient and stable operation of business systems 24 / 7 with minimal human intervention by combining scripts and third-party tools. This should be the ultimate goal of all business system operation and maintenance.

[0004] According to the development maturity of operation and maintenance, operation and maintenance can be roughly divided into three stages: relying on pure manual and repetitive software deployment and operation and maintenance; convenient software deployment and operation and maintenance through script writing; and efficient software deployment and operation and maintenance with the help of third-party tools.

[0005] The main goal of operation and maintenance is to achieve pre-warning, in-process resolution and post-event closed loop. Pre-warning: monitor each business system and the underlying software and hardware to ensure the normal operation of the business system. Pre-warning: avoid failures after they occur. In-process resolution: unexpected events may occur even in the most perfect solution. To ensure that business is restored in the shortest possible time, the system must be able to quickly locate the fault point, assign and resolve the alarm. Post-event closed loop: more emphasis is placed on the process method of operation and maintenance management, and alarms are assigned and resolved for the generated alarms to form a closed loop management of alarms.

[0006] To achieve the above goals, we need an experienced and efficient operation and maintenance team. As our business systems continue to increase and business volume continues to rise, the traditional operation and maintenance method that relies on pure manual work is gradually being eliminated.

[0007] We focus more on operation and maintenance methods through scripts and third-party tools. This not only meets our requirements for operation and maintenance and liberates productivity, but also makes our operation and maintenance management more standardized, thereby realizing automated operation and maintenance in a true sense. Summary of the invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to write a script and publish it to a huge number of server resources for execution through a set of management software, and automatically summarize the execution results.

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for realizing automatic operation and maintenance of a Linux operating system, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0010] Installing agent software on the client of the Linux operating system, wherein the agent software can receive instructions from the management end;

[0011] Perform daily management of the operating system through the management user interface, including but not limited to user permission settings, system service management, and security policy configuration;

[0012] Write scripts for automated operation and maintenance in Python, which are used to modify relevant configurations and parameters of the operating system;

[0013] The management end publishes the script to the publishing end, which is responsible for distributing the script to the managed operating system.

[0014] The receiving end operating system executes the pushed script and verifies the execution result to ensure that the configuration and parameters take effect as expected;

[0015] Collect execution results and generate operation and maintenance logs and reports for auditing and troubleshooting.

[0016] The implementation method is characterized in that the management end can automatically generate and optimize operation and maintenance scripts according to the network topology, asset topology map, and role, user, permission, operation, status and data access map.

[0017] The implementation method is characterized in that the agent software has a self-update function and can receive and install the latest security patches and system updates.

[0018] The implementation method is characterized in that the method also includes security reinforcement of the operating system, including but not limited to configuring password policies, account lock policies, SSH secure login, and firewall settings.

[0019] The implementation method is characterized in that the method also includes configuring a unified remote log server to uniformly collect and manage the logs of all clients.

[0020] The implementation method is characterized in that the method also includes resource control of the operating system, including setting user usage restrictions on system resources, such as file descriptor restrictions and process number restrictions.

[0021] The implementation method is characterized in that the method also includes implementing a security audit to ensure that all operation and maintenance activities meet security compliance requirements.

[0022] The implementation method is characterized in that the method also includes configuring an NTP server on the operating system to ensure the accuracy and synchronization of the system time.
