Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of risk assessment and early warning technology, and in particular to a method for risk assessment and early warning of task scheduling. Background Technology
[0002] In modern enterprise distributed systems, data processing platforms, and microservice architectures, task scheduling frameworks (such as Quartz, Cron, XXL-JOB, and Airflow) are widely used for periodically executing batch processing, data synchronization, API calls, and log cleanup. Within these task scheduling frameworks, existing monitoring technologies mostly only monitor and alert on the execution status of individual tasks (such as success, failure, execution time, and exception logs). As business scales and the number of scheduled tasks continues to increase, traditional solutions, without intervention, reveal the following shortcomings: (1) Overlapping task execution time and resource conflict: Multiple high-frequency or long-duration tasks may start in the same time window, causing task execution congestion. When the task execution time exceeds the expectation or an abnormality occurs, it overlaps with subsequent planned tasks, causing problems such as thread pool exhaustion and database connection pool exhaustion. (2) Complex inter-task dependencies: Most existing monitoring technologies only monitor and alert on the execution status of a single task (such as success, failure, time consumption, and abnormal logs), lack comprehensive analysis of the time correlation between multiple tasks, cannot identify the risk of task groups being triggered in the same time period, and are difficult to predict the resulting system resource competition or scheduling conflicts. (3) Lack of multi-dimensional risk perception: Traditional monitoring often uses the success of task execution as a single indicator, which makes it difficult to identify potential risk situations in a timely manner. It lacks real-time correlation analysis of server resources such as CPU, memory, disk I / O, and network, and cannot provide early warnings. (4) High and passive operation and maintenance costs: When the system experiences resource bottlenecks due to concentrated task triggering, operation and maintenance personnel often only intervene after an alarm is triggered, resulting in delayed processing and high costs. In summary, while existing technologies can monitor the execution status of individual tasks and provide simple alerts, they lack a holistic analysis of the temporal relationships between multiple tasks, the risks of overlapping execution, and their impact on system resource consumption. This fails to meet the needs of forward-looking risk management in large-scale and complex scheduling environments. Therefore, we propose a risk assessment and early warning method for task scheduling. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention proposes a risk assessment and early warning method for task scheduling, which solves the problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for risk assessment and early warning of task scheduling includes the following steps: S1: Task scheduling data collection: Periodically pull task metadata from the scheduling system. The task metadata includes task ID, task name, planned execution time, scheduling cycle and priority. The task metadata also includes historical actual start time, end time and execution time distribution. Then write the above task metadata into the "task scheduling log database" to store task logs and model data, which is convenient for subsequent statistics and modeling. S2: Time interval and overlap analysis, the specific steps of which are as follows: S201: Calculate the average execution time μ and standard deviation σ for each task, and estimate the time interval for the next execution [plan start, plan start + μ + kσ]; S202: Use the sliding window algorithm to scan the time intervals of all tasks within the next T minutes. If the intervals of two tasks overlap, it is recorded as a "potential overlap event". S203: Supports dynamic weight allocation, with higher priority tasks having higher weights than lower priority tasks; S3: Real-time monitoring of system resources: Use Agent or Prometheus monitoring components to collect CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I / O and network bandwidth, and then build a resource utilization baseline model; S4: Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model: Input the task overlap degree D, system resource status S and historical failure rate F into the risk assessment model. Its calculation formula is R = α·D + β·S + γ·F, where α, β and γ are adjustable weights. S5: Risk warning and automatic intervention, the specific process of which is as follows: S501: When the risk level reaches medium or high, push alerts via message queue, email, SMS, or Webhook. S502: It can execute automated intervention strategies, adjust the next execution time of low-priority tasks to avoid conflicts, and trigger the cloud platform's automatic scaling strategy and suspend non-critical tasks to ensure core task resources.
[0005] Preferably, in step S1, the collection frequency of periodically pulling task metadata from the scheduling system can be adaptively adjusted according to the load of the scheduling system. The default collection frequency is 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure a balance between data real-time performance and system overhead.
[0006] Preferably, in step S202, an "overlap" index is calculated for any combination of n tasks, where the "overlap" index D = Σ (overlap duration × task weight).
[0007] Preferably, in step S3, the specific process of constructing the resource utilization baseline model is as follows: the normal fluctuation range is calculated using a moving average or ARIMA model, and if the current utilization rate deviates from the baseline by more than a threshold, it is marked as "resource stress state".
[0008] Preferably, in step S4, the risk assessment model supports online learning and can dynamically adjust weights based on actual feedback from historical alarms. The risk assessment model sets multiple risk thresholds: low risk: R < R1; medium risk: R1 ≤ R < R2; high risk: R ≥ R2.
[0009] Preferably, in step S502, all intervention operations are recorded in the log for subsequent auditing and model optimization.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention can identify high-risk periods in the future and issue early warnings through a predictive model before task execution conflicts actually occur. The system can provide early warnings several minutes or even hours before the planned execution, allowing maintenance personnel to take measures such as resource scheduling or task order adjustment in advance to avoid system downtime, delays or performance degradation caused by intensive task execution, thus realizing the transformation from post-processing to pre-event prevention. 2. Based on the analysis of task spatiotemporal overlap, this invention integrates the system's real-time resource utilization rate and historical task failure rate to form a multi-dimensional risk assessment model. Through a comprehensive algorithm with adjustable weights, it can significantly reduce the false alarm and false negative rates of single-dimensional monitoring and ensure high accuracy of risk prediction in various business scenarios. 3. The risk assessment model of this invention has an online learning and adaptive parameter tuning mechanism, which can dynamically adjust the weights and thresholds based on the actual feedback of historical alarms. As the task execution mode, quantity or system load changes, the model can be automatically updated without manual intervention, and can maintain the prediction accuracy and stability that matches the actual business environment in the long term. 4. This invention does not rely on a specific task scheduling framework or dedicated hardware. It can be deployed with only common log output interfaces and standardized monitoring data sources. It can be seamlessly integrated with mainstream scheduling systems and is suitable for public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud environments.
[0011] In summary, this invention starts with intelligent analysis of task scheduling time intervals, innovatively combines task spatiotemporal overlap detection with system resource monitoring, establishes a comprehensive risk assessment model, and achieves early warning and automatic intervention, providing a low-cost, high-real-time task scheduling risk prevention and control solution for complex systems.
