[0002] With the development of information technology, computer systems are increasingly used to manage various businesses. Generally, a system may include multiple servers that can be communicatively connected to perform corresponding functions. However, as the number of servers in the system increases and the connection relationship between servers becomes more complicated, the difficulty of monitoring the system also increases. For example, in the event of a failure of one or several servers, it may be difficult to quickly assess the impact of such a failure on the entire system.

In this specification, similar reference numerals and letters are used to represent similar items, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0092] For ease of understanding, the positions, sizes, and ranges of various structures shown in the drawings and the like sometimes do not represent actual positions, sizes, and ranges, etc. Therefore, the disclosed invention is not limited to the positions, sizes, and ranges, etc. disclosed in the drawings and the like. In addition, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, and some features may be exaggerated to show details of specific components. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0093] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0094] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure and its application or use. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that they are merely exemplary, rather than exhaustive, ways in which the present disclosure may be implemented.

[0095] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0096] In order to facilitate the monitoring of the operation process of the system, for example, in the case of a failure of a server or other component or communication, the impact of the failure on the entire system can be quickly evaluated and effective fault handling measures can be taken, and a topology map of the system can be provided. At present, the management or development personnel of the application system usually collects information on all the servers and other components contained in the system and the relationship between them in advance, and then uses flowchart drawing tools such as Visio, PowerPoint, Word, etc. to manually draw the topology map of the system. However, this manual drawing method has a very large workload and is very prone to errors, especially when the system is large and contains a large number of servers or other components. Moreover, the manually drawn topology map is a static picture, which needs to be manually modified when the system changes, so it is difficult to adapt to the changes of the system in a timely manner, resulting in reduced monitoring efficiency and increased monitoring costs.

[0097] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a method for configuring a topology map of a system. Among them, the system may include one or more subsystems. Different subsystems can be used to implement different functions respectively. In addition, different subsystems can be connected in a communicative manner, for example, the upstream subsystem can transmit corresponding data to the downstream subsystem, or conversely, the downstream subsystem can also feed back corresponding data to the upstream subsystem to achieve collaboration between subsystems. The subsystem may include one or more clusters so as to distribute the operations required for implementing the corresponding subsystem functions in an organized manner. Among them, one or more other clusters may be nested inside a cluster, or a cluster may call other clusters or be called by other clusters, which is not limited here. The cluster may include one or more servers, and the server may be used to specifically perform various operations. How to allocate the server to the cluster can be determined based on a variety of methods, which is not limited here. In addition, as needed, the system may also include other components other than the server, such as sensing sensors, client devices, etc., which may exist independently or may be organized in corresponding clusters or subsystems, which is not limited here. In the process of drawing a topology map, corresponding icons or lines may be used to represent other components that may exist. In the following text, a method for drawing a topology map of a system including only a server will be taken as an example to explain in detail. However, those skilled in the art can derive a method for drawing a topology map of a system including other components based on the content of the present disclosure, and such a method also belongs to a part of the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the method for configuring a topology diagram of a system may include:

[0099] Step S110: acquiring configuration information through a graphical user interface (GUI).

[0100] Here, the configuration information can be selected or filled in by a user (e.g., an administrator or developer of the system) on a provided graphical user interface. By providing a graphical user interface, the user can input the configuration information in a visual manner, thereby facilitating the user's operation. In some embodiments, the graphical user interface may include one or more pages that can be switched, and information input components in the form of radio buttons, check boxes, option lists, input boxes, etc. may be provided on each page so that the user can select or input the configuration information at the corresponding location. In the subsequent operation of the method, a topology map can be drawn based on the configuration information obtained through the graphical user interface.

[0101] In some embodiments, the configuration information may include at least one of server basic information associated with the server, cluster basic information associated with the cluster, subsystem basic information associated with the subsystem, server subordinate information for indicating the subordinate relationship between the server and the cluster, cluster relationship information for indicating the relationship between clusters, and subsystem relationship information for indicating the relationship between subsystems. In addition, in the case where the system includes other components, the configuration information may also include information for indicating the component itself, and information for indicating the association relationship between the component and other parts of the system, etc., which are not limited here.

[0102] The basic information of a server may refer to information associated with a single server itself, for example, it may include at least one of the name of the server, the number of the server, the network address of the server (for example, an IP address, a URL address, etc.), the type of the server, the physical address of the server (for example, the address of the computer room to which the server belongs, the specific location of the server in the computer room, etc.), the monitoring index of the server, the monitoring index threshold of the server, and the manager information of the server (for example, the department to which the server belongs, the management department of the server, the management personnel of the server, etc.). Generally speaking, the corresponding server can be uniquely determined according to the name, number, network address or specific physical address of the server. In addition, the type of the server can be determined according to the operations, functions or services performed. In a specific example, the type of the server may include at least one of a database server (for providing database services, for example, a server based on an Oracle operating system), an application server (for executing an application, for example, a server based on a Windows operating system), a load balancing server (for providing load balancing services) and a cache server (for providing cache services). Depending on the type of the server, one or more monitoring indicators thereof may be monitored to understand the operating status of the server. For example, the monitoring index of the server may include at least one of the server's memory usage, the server's virtual machine memory usage, the server's disk space usage, the server's table space usage, the server's connection usage, and the server's heartbeat index. Furthermore, a server's monitoring index threshold may be provided or set, and by comparing the monitored server's monitoring index value with the corresponding monitoring index threshold, the user can more effectively evaluate the server's operating status, as will be described in detail later.

[0103] Cluster basic information may refer to information associated with a single cluster itself, such as at least one of the cluster name, cluster number, cluster network address (e.g., IP address, URL address, etc.), cluster type, and cluster manager information (e.g., the department to which the cluster belongs, the cluster management department, cluster management personnel, etc.). Generally speaking, the corresponding cluster can be uniquely identified based on the cluster name, number or network address. It should be noted that when a cluster contains multiple servers, these servers may be placed in different places, that is, they may have different physical addresses, so the cluster may not be located at a specific physical location, but distributed in a wide spatial range.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the calling relationship can be configured in clusters during the operation of the system. This type of cluster that can directly call other clusters or be directly called by other clusters can also be called a communication cluster. That is to say, if a server needs to be called to perform a corresponding operation, the cluster to which the server belongs can actually be called (for example, through the name, number or network address of the cluster, etc.), and the specific server to perform the operation can be decided within the cluster. In other words, the caller outside the cluster directly "manipulates" or "sees" the cluster, not the specific server, and the specific server is determined within the cluster and is "invisible" to the outside. Communication clusters can be organized in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. In a specific example, multiple servers with the same function can be set in the same communication cluster, for example, several servers under a load balancing can be included in the same communication cluster. It is understandable that if one or several servers in a communication cluster fail (for example, due to a power outage in the computer room where the one or more servers are located), then the failed server can be replaced by a server located at another physical address in the same communication cluster to complete the corresponding operation, thereby ensuring the reliability of the system operation.

[0105] In addition, a cluster may contain or be nested with one or more other clusters. This type of cluster with other clusters nested inside it can also be called a parent cluster. It should be noted that since other clusters are nested inside a parent cluster, it generally cannot directly call other clusters or be directly called by other clusters, because this may lead to unclear or confusing calling relationships. In other words, a cluster that can directly call other clusters or be directly called by other clusters cannot have other clusters nested inside it. The settings of various clusters and their relationships help to further clarify the relationships between multiple servers included in the system, and help users maintain the system more clearly and conveniently by reflecting these relationships in the subsequently generated topology diagram.

[0106] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the cluster relationship information in the configuration information used to represent the relationship between clusters may include at least one of cluster calling information and cluster nesting information, wherein the cluster calling information can be used to indicate the calling relationship between clusters, and the cluster nesting information can be used to indicate the nesting relationship between clusters, so as to subsequently generate a corresponding topology map based on the cluster relationship information.

[0107] In some embodiments, the subsystem basic information may include at least one of the name of the subsystem, the number of the subsystem, the network address of the subsystem (e.g., IP address, URL address, etc.), the type of the subsystem, and the manager information of the subsystem (e.g., the department to which the subsystem belongs, the management department of the subsystem, the management personnel of the subsystem, etc.). Generally speaking, the corresponding subsystem can be uniquely determined according to the name, number or network address of the subsystem. Similarly, a subsystem may contain multiple clusters, and a cluster may contain multiple servers, which may be placed in different places, that is, may have different physical addresses, so the subsystem may not be located at a specific physical location, but distributed in a wide range of space. The type of subsystem can be divided or determined according to the specific functions to be implemented by the subsystem, and there is no limitation here. For example, in the aviation field, the corresponding system may include a sales subsystem for selling air tickets, a check-in subsystem for providing check-in services to customers, a scheduling subsystem for scheduling flights, etc., and these subsystems can be managed by corresponding parts or personnel respectively. Furthermore, as described above, there may be a communication relationship between different subsystems, and the subsystem relationship information may be used to indicate the communication relationship or interface protocol between a subsystem and other subsystems located upstream or downstream of the subsystem, or to indicate the network address of other subsystems located upstream or downstream of the subsystem, etc., so as to generate a corresponding topology map based on the subsystem relationship information, so that the user can clearly and intuitively see the relationship between multiple subsystems in the topology map, thereby helping the user to judge the possible impact of the operating status of a subsystem on other subsystems.

[0108] In some embodiments, as described above, the graphical user interface may include one or more pages, and the user may directly select or fill in the configuration information in the corresponding page to generate a topology diagram of the system. The layout of each configuration information to be entered in one or more pages may be set as needed, without limitation here. For example, in a graphical user interface, the configuration information may be represented by one or more lists, and the user may select the desired configuration information through components such as radio buttons and check boxes, or may directly enter the configuration information in components such as input boxes of the graphical user interface, without limitation here.

[0109] In a specific example, the user can enter the name of the subsystem to be configured and the administrator information of the subsystem on the first page. After completing the entry, the user can click the "Save" button on the page to save the filled configuration information and enter the second page; on the second page, the user can enter the basic server information of the server to be configured, such as the name, number or network address of the server, and the monitoring indicators of the server. After completing the entry, the user can click the "Save" button on the page to save the filled configuration information and enter the third page; on the third page, the user can enter the cluster associated with the cluster to be configured. Group basic information and / or cluster relationship information, for example, you can edit the relevant cluster information in the list of queried and displayed clusters. After completing the entry, you can click the "Save" button on the page to save the filled configuration information and enter the fourth page; in the fourth page, the user can enter the subsystem relationship information to configure the communication relationship between the subsystem and other upstream and downstream subsystems (for example, the subsystem's interface address, protocol, port number, etc.). In addition, the user can also configure the cluster involved in the call relationship in the subsystem, and finally click the "Save" button on the page to save the filled configuration information.

[0110] In other embodiments, considering that in some cases, at least a part of the configuration information may have been stored in the pre-set configuration information database, and the user only needs to supplement some configuration information or make some modifications to the existing configuration information, in order to facilitate the user's configuration, obtaining the configuration information through the graphical user interface may include: obtaining a configuration request; searching for existing configuration information corresponding to the configuration request in the configuration information database; in the case of finding the existing configuration information, providing a graphical user interface preloaded with the existing configuration information for adding or modifying the configuration information; and in the case of not finding the existing configuration information, providing an initial graphical user interface for adding the configuration information. Among them, the configuration request may be from the user, and the configuration request may at least include relevant information for indicating the subsystem, cluster or server that the user wants to configure, for example, it may include the name, number or network address of the subsystem, cluster or server to be configured. In the configuration information database, the existing configuration information corresponding to the subsystem, cluster or server to be configured may be searched according to the name, number or network address of the subsystem, cluster or server to be configured, and the existing configuration information may be preloaded in the graphical user interface if there is existing configuration information, thereby greatly reducing the amount of configuration information that the user needs to enter, which helps to achieve fast and efficient configuration. Especially when there are only minor changes to the system, subsystem, cluster or server, users can quickly provide modified configuration information to generate a modified topology map, which greatly facilitates users to update the topology map in a timely manner according to system changes and ensures the effectiveness of maintaining the system according to the topology map.

[0111] In a specific example, a user can issue a configuration request through a relevant button on a graphical user interface. According to the configuration request from the user, a search can be conducted in a configuration information database to determine whether there is corresponding existing configuration information, and the existing configuration information found can be loaded into one or more corresponding pages included in the graphical user interface. The user can modify the configuration information on the page, or add a subsystem, cluster, or server, etc. through the relevant buttons on the page, and enter the corresponding configuration information to achieve efficient configuration of the system.

[0112] In addition, in order to facilitate subsequent operations such as modifying the configuration information and the topology map, in some embodiments, obtaining the configuration information through the graphical user interface may also include: storing or encrypting the newly added or modified configuration information in the configuration information database. Here, the configuration information may be encrypted in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. In addition, the security of the configuration information may also be ensured by setting the configuration information database locally, etc., which is not limited here.

[0113] In some embodiments, according to different types of servers, a set of monitoring indicators of corresponding servers can be provided respectively, so that users can select the monitoring indicators of servers that actually need to be monitored in such a set, for example, the set of monitoring indicators of servers can include all monitoring indicators that can be monitored for this type of server. Specifically, obtaining configuration information through a graphical user interface may include: obtaining a configuration request; determining a set of monitoring indicators of the server according to the type of server; and providing a graphical user interface containing the above set of monitoring indicators for selecting the monitoring indicators to be monitored for the server. Among them, the configuration request may at least indicate the type of server to be configured, so as to determine what set of monitoring indicators to provide according to the type of server. For example, a server can be configured with multiple ports, and a configuration table can configure configurable monitoring indicators of different types of servers. For example, the set of monitoring indicators of an application server (such as a server based on a Windows operating system) may include the server's memory usage, virtual machine memory usage, and disk space usage. The set of monitoring indicators of a database server (such as a server based on an Oracle operating system) may include table space usage, connection number usage, and heartbeat indicators. The set of monitoring indicators of a load balancing server may be an empty set, that is, no monitoring indicators are monitored for this type of server. In some embodiments, a set of monitoring indicators of the server can be determined immediately after obtaining a configuration request, and the determined set of monitoring indicators can be displayed in the configuration page of the server, so that the user can select the monitoring indicators of the server that he is interested in by checking, etc., so as to monitor these monitoring indicators. In addition, in some embodiments, the user can also enter the indicator threshold of the monitoring indicator of interest that he checked in the configuration page of the server or other configuration pages, so as to compare with the value of the detected monitoring indicator, so as to determine the operating status of the server.

[0114] In some embodiments, especially when there is existing configuration information, in order to facilitate the user to modify or add the configuration information, an initial topology map can also be drawn based on the existing configuration information, so that the user can more intuitively understand the relevant situation of the current system. Specifically, obtaining configuration information through a graphical user interface can also include: generating initial drawing data with a preset format according to the existing configuration information when the existing configuration information is found; and generating and displaying the initial topology map of the system according to the initial drawing data. Here, the method of generating the initial topology map can be similar to the method of generating the topology map of the configured system, which will be explained in detail below. In a specific example, the graphical user interface can be divided into two parts, such as left and right parts or upper and lower parts, and the configuration information can be displayed in one part of the graphical user interface, and the topology map corresponding to the current configuration information can be displayed in another part, so that the user can intuitively see the display effect of the topology map corresponding to the current configuration information.

[0115] return Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for configuring a topology map of a system may further include:

[0116] Step S120: generating drawing data in a preset format according to the configuration information.

[0117] It is understandable that the configuration information directly obtained through the graphical user interface may be in natural language form or in some other format. In order to facilitate drawing the topology map, it is necessary to convert it into drawing data in a preset format. For example, the format of drawing data into which the configuration information is converted can be determined according to the specific requirements of the application, plug-in or software used to draw the topology map. In a specific example, the preset format may include JSON format.

[0118] In some embodiments, especially in the configuration information in the form of natural language, some characters that cannot be automatically recognized by the corresponding application, plug-in or software may be included, and for this reason, some preprocessing of the configuration information is required. Specifically, generating drawing data with a preset format according to the configuration information may include: determining whether the configuration information contains preset characters; if the configuration information contains preset characters, filtering the preset characters, and generating drawing data with a preset format according to the filtered configuration information; and if the configuration information does not contain preset characters, directly generating drawing data with a preset format according to the configuration information.

[0119] For example, when some users enter configuration information in a graphical user interface, they may enter annotation information in brackets to the corresponding position, and these brackets and the content therein may interfere with subsequent data conversion. In this regard, it is possible to check whether the configuration information contains brackets (i.e., preset characters); if so, the brackets and the content therein may be filtered out to generate drawing data with a preset format based on the remaining configuration information; if not, the drawing data with a preset format may be directly generated based on the configuration information to facilitate subsequent topology drawing.

[0120] In some embodiments, the drawing data may be generated in real time according to the configuration information. For example, whenever the user completes the entry and saving of a configuration information on the graphical user interface, the corresponding drawing data may be generated immediately, and as described later, the corresponding topology map may be generated immediately according to the generated drawing data, so that the generated topology map can reflect the latest system structure in real time, that is, achieve the effect of what you see is what you get, and facilitate the user to configure. Alternatively, in other embodiments, in order to save configuration or computing resources, the corresponding drawing data may be generated and the corresponding topology map may be drawn after the user completes the entry of all configuration information, which is not limited here.

[0121] return Figure 1 In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for configuring a topology map of a system may further include:

[0122] Step S130, generating and displaying a topology map of the system according to the drawing data.

[0123] Various applications, plug-ins or software for drawing can be used to generate a topology map based on the drawing data, and the generated topology map can be displayed on a display. For example, when the preset format of the drawing data is JSON format, the topology map of the system can be generated based on the drawing data using an open source Mermaid plug-in.

[0124] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the topology map of the system can be generated and displayed in real time based on the drawing data. As mentioned above, whenever the user completes the entry and saving of a configuration information on the graphical user interface, the corresponding drawing data can be generated immediately, and the corresponding topology map can be generated immediately based on the generated drawing data, thereby achieving a WYSIWYG effect and facilitating the user to perform configuration.

[0125] In some embodiments, the topology map of the system may be a vector map, which will not be distorted after being enlarged, so that the user can scale the topology map of the system as needed to view or monitor the overall or local status of the system.

[0126] Various methods can be used to indicate the various components of the system and the connections or communication relationships between them in the topology diagram, which are not limited here. In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, in the topology diagram of system 200, server 210 can be configured to be represented by a node icon. Further, the node icon can be rendered using different shapes, colors, fill patterns or display effects to reflect the server basic information and / or current status of the corresponding server, as will be described in detail later.

[0127] Furthermore, in the topology diagram of the system 200, one or more node icons corresponding to one or more servers 210 belonging to the same cluster 220 may be configured to be located in the same cluster area (eg, Figure 2 ), thereby indicating that these servers 210 are grouped into the same cluster 220. A cluster may include a parent cluster in which other clusters can be nested, such as Figure 2 The cluster 3 shown in may also include a communication cluster that can be directly called by other clusters or directly call other clusters, such as Figure 2 Similarly, different shapes, colors, fill patterns or display effects can be used to render the cluster area to reflect the relevant configuration information of the corresponding cluster. Figure 2 In the topology diagram of , the cluster nesting information in the cluster relationship information can be configured to be represented by the nested relationship between cluster areas, for example Figure 2 Cluster 3 in the example has cluster 1 and cluster 2 nested inside. In addition, the cluster call information in the cluster relationship information can be configured to be represented by lines between cluster regions, for example, lines with arrows, where the arrows can point from the caller to the callee, for example Figure 2 Cluster 1 calls cluster 4, and cluster 4 calls cluster 2.

[0128] exist Figure 2 In the topology diagram of the system 200 shown, one or more cluster areas corresponding to one or more clusters 220 belonging to the same subsystem 230 may be configured to be located in the same subsystem area (eg, Figure 2 200, thereby indicating that these clusters 220 belong to the same subsystem 230. Similarly, different shapes, colors, fill patterns, or display effects can be used to render subsystem areas to reflect the relevant configuration information of the corresponding subsystems. In addition, the subsystem relationship information can be configured to be represented by the lines between the subsystem areas. For example, in Figure 2 In the topology diagram of the system 200 shown, the subsystem 2 and its upstream subsystem 1 and downstream subsystem 3 can be connected by lines respectively to indicate that there is a communication relationship between the connected subsystems.

[0129] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the system may also include other components in addition to servers, clusters and subsystems. In the system topology diagram, corresponding node icons or areas can be provided to represent these components, and corresponding forms of connections can be provided to represent various relationships between components, which are not limited here.

[0130] Furthermore, in some embodiments, especially when the topology map can reflect the configuration information entered by the user in real time, in order to facilitate the user to perform configuration, the display effect of the node icon in the configuration state can be made different from the display effect of the node icon in the non-configuration state, so that the user can see at a glance which components in the system are being configured or edited, avoiding confusion. For example, the fill color of the node icon in the configuration state can be yellow, while the fill color of the node icon in the non-configuration state can be white, thereby providing the user with necessary prompts.

[0131] In some embodiments, the topology map of the system may include a structural topology map for indicating the system structure and a state topology map for indicating the operating state of the system. In other words, the structural topology map is configured to reflect the components such as servers, clusters and subsystems contained in the system and the connection or communication relationship between them; and the state topology map can not only reflect the above components and the connection or communication relationship between them, but also reflect the operating state of the components such as servers, clusters and subsystems contained in the system, thereby realizing the monitoring of the system. It is understandable that the method for configuring the topology map of the system described above mainly focuses on the method for drawing the structural topology map of the system, and the state topology map of the system can continue to be drawn on the basis of the structural topology map, as described in detail below. It is understandable that the relevant drawing data used to further draw the state topology map can also be in a preset format, such as JSON format, etc., and a Merimaid plug-in, etc., can be used to generate a corresponding state topology map according to the drawing data in a preset format.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, the method for configuring a topology diagram of a system may further include:

[0133] Step S310, obtaining a monitoring request;

[0134] Step S320, obtaining configuration information associated with the monitoring request from a configuration information database, and generating and displaying a structural topology diagram of the system according to the configuration information;

[0135] Step S330, obtaining a monitoring indicator value of a corresponding server according to the monitoring request, or obtaining a monitoring indicator value and a monitoring indicator threshold of a corresponding server according to the monitoring request; and

[0136] Step S340: Rendering the structural topology diagram of the system according to the acquired monitoring indicator value or according to the acquired monitoring indicator value and the monitoring indicator threshold value, so as to generate and display the state topology diagram of the system.

[0137] Among them, the monitoring request may indicate relevant information of the subsystem, cluster or server to be configured, so as to obtain the configuration information associated with the monitoring request from the configuration information database. In step S320, the structural topology map of the system can be generated and displayed according to the configuration information with reference to the specific operations described above regarding step S120 and step S130, which will not be repeated here. It should be noted that in order to improve the user experience and avoid the system's state topology map from loading too long, step S330 does not necessarily have to be performed after step S320. For example, step S320 and step S330 may be performed simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, or even before step S320, that is, at the same time or substantially simultaneously when obtaining the configuration information and drawing the structural topology map, or even before obtaining the configuration information and drawing the structural topology map, the monitoring index value of the corresponding server is obtained according to the monitoring request, or the monitoring index value and the monitoring index threshold of the corresponding server are obtained according to the monitoring request. Specifically, in the process of executing step S330, an instruction can be issued to the sensor for detecting the corresponding monitoring index of the server to instruct it to detect and return the corresponding monitoring index value, or an instruction can be issued to the memory or database for storing the corresponding monitoring index of the server to obtain the corresponding monitoring index value of the server. In addition, an instruction can also be issued to the corresponding memory or database to obtain the monitoring index threshold of the server corresponding to the monitoring request. After obtaining the monitoring index value, the structural topology diagram of the system can be rendered according to the acquired monitoring index value, or the structural topology diagram of the system can be rendered according to the acquired monitoring index value and the monitoring index threshold, so as to generate and display the state topology diagram of the system. In addition, if necessary, the relevant operating status information of the server, cluster or subsystem contained in the system can also be displayed in a list or other manner, which is not limited here. In addition, in some embodiments, if a certain monitoring index value or monitoring index threshold is not successfully obtained, it can be marked to be displayed in a graphical manner or in a list or other manner in the topology diagram to prompt the user.

[0138] For example, when monitoring the memory usage of the server, the structural topology diagram of the system can be generated and displayed based on step S310 and step S320, and the memory usage value of each server included in the system can be obtained based on step S330, and the structural topology diagram of the system can be rendered according to the obtained memory usage value to generate and display the status topology diagram of the system. Alternatively, the memory usage threshold of each server included in the system can be obtained, and the structural topology diagram of the system can be rendered according to the obtained memory usage value and the memory usage threshold to generate and display the status topology diagram of the system. Figure 4 In the state topology diagram of the system shown in FIG. 1 , the node icons used to represent the server 210 may be rendered with different fill patterns to represent different health states of the server. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, white filling indicates that the server's memory usage value is less than 50% (Server 2, Server 3 and Server 4), and its current operating status is healthy; sparser diagonal filling indicates that the server's memory usage value is between 50% and 80% (Server 6), and its current operating status is average; and denser diagonal filling indicates that the server's memory usage value is greater than 80% (Server 1 and Server 5), and its current operating status is unhealthy. It can be seen that users can understand the operating status of each server in the system at a glance based on the system status topology diagram, and can take corresponding measures to improve the operation of the system.

[0139] Further, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the subsequent tracing back or calling of the monitoring indicator values ​​and / or monitoring indicator thresholds of the server, the method for configuring the topology map of the system may also include: storing or encrypting the acquired monitoring indicator values ​​in a configuration information database. Here, the monitoring indicator values ​​and / or monitoring indicator thresholds of the server may be encrypted in a variety of ways, which are not limited here. In addition, the security of the monitoring indicator values ​​and / or monitoring indicator thresholds of the server may be ensured by setting the configuration information database locally, etc., which is not limited here.

[0140] In some embodiments, the user may need to have an overview of the distribution of components that meet certain conditions in the topology diagram of the system. In this case, Figure 5 As shown, the method for configuring a topology diagram of a system may further include:

[0141] Step S510, obtaining an object search request;

[0142] Step S520, traversing the topology map of the system to determine a portion of the topology map of the system that meets the object search request; and

[0143] Step S530: Render the portion to indicate an object corresponding to the object search request.

[0144] In a specific example, a user may issue an object search request to search for all servers located in a certain computer room. To this end, the topology map of the system (e.g., a structural topology map) may be traversed according to the object search request to determine the servers located in the computer room, and node icons representing these servers may be rendered to indicate the servers corresponding to the object search request in the topology map, for example Figure 6 Server 1, Server 3 and Server 6 are marked in FIG.

[0145] In another specific example, a user may issue an object search request to search for all servers in each cluster that are located in the same computer room. To this end, each cluster area in a topology map (e.g., a structure topology map or a state topology map) of the system may be traversed according to the object search request, and for each cluster area, node icons corresponding to servers located in the same computer room may be rendered to indicate the server corresponding to the object search request in the topology map.

[0146] It is understandable that the user may also issue other types of object search requests, which are not limited here.

[0147] In some embodiments, the user may need to draw additional topology diagrams for components in the system that meet specific conditions based on other principles, so as to clearly understand information related to these components. In this case, Figure 7 As shown, the method for configuring a topology diagram of a system may further include:

[0148] Step S710, obtaining an object search request;

[0149] Step S720, acquiring configuration information associated with the object indicated by the object search request from a configuration information database; and

[0150] Step S730: Generate and display a topology map of the object according to the configuration information.

[0151] For example, a user can draw a topology map based on the physical address of the server instead of the network address. Specifically, all servers located in the same computer room can be drawn in the same area of ​​the topology map instead of drawing all servers in the same cluster in the same area of ​​the topology map as described above. In this regard, the user can issue a corresponding object search request to obtain the configuration information related to the computer room, and draw a topology map of the object based on the configuration information related to the computer room. It should be noted that the topology map here can be only a structural topology map containing the structural information of the system, or it can also be a state topology map containing the operating status of the components in the system.

[0152] It is understandable that the user may also draw a topology map based on other principles, which are not limited here.

[0153] In the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to simplify the topology diagram of the system, the server, cluster or subsystem in the system may be represented in the form of node icons or area boxes, so that some of their specific information is not directly displayed in the topology diagram. However, in some cases, the user may want to know the specific information of a component in the system. In this regard, additional methods can be used to display this specific information. Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the method for configuring a topology map of a system may further include: step S810, obtaining an information display request, wherein the information display request may at least indicate an object whose information is to be displayed; step S820, obtaining configuration information associated with the object from a configuration information database or a topology map; and step S830, displaying the configuration information in the form of a details page or list superimposed on the topology map. For example, Fig. 9 FIG. 2 shows a details page 211 of server 1 superimposed on the topology map.

The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or the processor can also be any conventional processor, etc., which can be an X86 architecture or an ARM architecture, etc.

[0157] The memory 1101 stores executable instructions that implement the method for configuring the topology diagram of the system described above when executed by the processor 1102.

Moreover, in some embodiments, a visual user interface and a topology map that is updated in real time can be provided to achieve a WYSIWYG effect, so that users can configure the topology map simply and intuitively.
