Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of big data technology, and in particular to a method, system and electronic device for automated synchronization of multi-environment configurations and data status monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale enterprise-level distributed systems, especially open platforms or Software as a Service (SaaS) systems targeting multiple vendors, the system typically needs to run independently in multiple environments, including pre-release, canary release, and production environments. Currently, multi-environment configuration synchronization often relies heavily on manual operation, which can easily lead to configuration omissions and inconsistencies. Existing technologies lack effective state tracking mechanisms for the configuration synchronization process, making it impossible to understand the progress and results of configuration synchronization in real time. This purely manual configuration management approach, lacking state tracking, necessitates manual verification of configuration changes to ensure their effectiveness, which can easily trigger serious production environment failures and lead to system downtime risks due to configuration inconsistencies across environments. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method, system, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for multi-environment configuration synchronization status monitoring, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art where multi-environment configuration synchronization relies on manual operation and lacks status tracking, and the risk of system crashing due to configuration inconsistencies across environments.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for monitoring the synchronization status of multi-environment configurations, including: Obtain a configuration synchronization request, wherein the configuration synchronization request includes a target merchant identifier, a source environment as the source of configuration, a target environment as the synchronization target, and identification information of at least one configuration item to be managed belonging to the merchant corresponding to the target merchant identifier; Create a synchronization task corresponding to the configuration synchronization request, and configure a synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states for the synchronization task; The synchronization task is controlled to flow unidirectionally and irreversibly between the multiple task states, and when flowing to the corresponding task state, the following operations are performed for each of the at least one configuration item to be managed: The configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment is synchronized to the target environment as the expected configuration value; The configuration values ​​are synchronized to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment; Call the query interface of the target system to obtain the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the internal configuration, and use it as the actual effective configuration value; Compare the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determine the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result; Based on the data status corresponding to the at least one configuration item to be managed, the synchronization task is controlled to eventually flow to either a task success state or a task failure state, which serves as the endpoint of the flow.

[0005] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a multi-environment configuration synchronization status monitoring system, including: The request acquisition module is used to acquire a configuration synchronization request. The configuration synchronization request includes a target merchant identifier, a source environment as the source of the configuration, a target environment as the synchronization target, and identification information of at least one configuration item to be managed belonging to the merchant corresponding to the target merchant identifier. The task and flow control module is used to create a synchronization task corresponding to the configuration synchronization request, and configure a synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states for the synchronization task; control the synchronization task to flow unidirectionally and irreversibly between the multiple task states; and when flowing to the corresponding task state, for each of the at least one configuration item to be managed, trigger the subsequent synchronization execution module and status monitoring module to perform the corresponding operation. The synchronization execution module is used to synchronize the configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment to the target environment as the expected configuration value; and to synchronize the configuration value to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment. The status monitoring module is used to call the query interface of the target system to obtain the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the internal configuration, and use it as the actual effective configuration value; compare the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determine the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result; The task and flow control module is also used to control the synchronous task to eventually flow to the task success state or task failure state, which is the flow endpoint, according to the data status corresponding to the at least one configuration item to be managed.

[0006] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0007] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect.

[0008] The technical solution provided in this application creates dedicated synchronization tasks for configuration synchronization requests across multiple environments and introduces a unidirectional, irreversible synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states, enabling precise control over the configuration flow process. By forcibly obtaining and comparing the actual effective configuration value at the target system's underlying layer with the expected configuration value, a rigorous data closed-loop verification model is established. Through the comparison mechanism between expected and actual values, the actual effective status of the configuration in the target environment can be monitored in real time, promptly identifying configuration inconsistencies. This solution completely breaks through the blind spot of unknown status after configuration distribution, ensuring that every configuration change can be accurately monitored and traced, significantly reducing the risk of system downtime due to cross-environment configuration inconsistencies.

Detailed Implementation

[0011] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0012] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a method for monitoring the synchronization status of multi-environment configurations is provided for use in a multi-environment configuration synchronization status monitoring system. The method includes the following steps: S10. Obtain the configuration synchronization request. The configuration synchronization request includes the target merchant identifier, the source environment as the source of the configuration, the target environment as the synchronization target, and the identifier information of at least one configuration item to be managed belonging to the merchant corresponding to the target merchant identifier. S20. Create and configure the synchronization task corresponding to the synchronization request, and configure the synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states for the synchronization task. S30. Control the synchronous task to perform unidirectional irreversible flow between multiple task states, and when flowing to the corresponding task state, execute steps S31-S34 for each of the at least one configuration item to be managed: S31. Synchronize the configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment to the target environment as the expected configuration value; S32. Synchronize the configuration values ​​to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment; S33. Call the query interface of the target system to obtain the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the internal configuration, and use it as the actual effective configuration value; S34. Compare the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determine the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result; S40. Based on the data status corresponding to at least one configuration item to be managed, control the synchronization task to eventually flow to the task success status or task failure status, which is the endpoint of the flow.

[0013] In step S10, the configuration synchronization request is essentially a network data packet carrying the intent of data scheduling between distributed environments. The target merchant identifier, in a multi-tenant architecture such as Software as a Service (SaaS) or an open platform for multiple merchants, is a physical identifier used to uniquely distinguish and isolate configuration data of different business tenants in the underlying database entity. The source environment and target environment, at the physical and logical network boundaries, refer to independently running cluster nodes such as pre-release environments, gray-scale environments, or production environments in an enterprise-level development architecture. In this embodiment, the system obtains the aforementioned configuration synchronization request, which includes the target merchant identifier, the source environment as the source of configuration, the target environment as the synchronization target, and the identifier information of at least one configuration item to be managed belonging to the merchant corresponding to the target merchant identifier.

[0014] In step S20, after receiving the configuration synchronization request, the system, unlike traditional solutions, does not simply perform a direct cross-database data copy operation. Instead, it allocates and instantiates a corresponding synchronization task in memory for the configuration synchronization request, and loads a synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states onto it. It should be understood that the state machine here is a logical flow and control model, which breaks down the originally difficult-to-track and easily interrupted black-box configuration synchronization process into multiple observable slices with time-series attributes and clear boundaries, such as initialization, expected value synchronization, and external configuration verification.

[0015] In step S30, the system controls the aforementioned state machine to perform unidirectional irreversible transitions. Unidirectional irreversible transitions mean that in complex microservice communication networks, the state machine pointer can only advance sequentially through the stages, or, if encountering unreliable factors, it will circuit break and enter a failure state. Arbitrary state rollback operations between different stages are absolutely prohibited. As an example, this unidirectional transition characteristic greatly avoids the problem of dirty configuration data pollution and logical dead loops in target nodes caused by repeated state jumps in distributed concurrent scenarios. The system controls the synchronization task to perform unidirectional irreversible transitions between multiple task states, and when transitioning to the corresponding task state, for each of the at least one manageable configuration item, steps S31 to S34 are performed respectively.

[0016] Specifically, in steps S31 and S32, the expected configuration value represents the numerical target that the system expects to ultimately achieve in the target environment. The system will synchronize the configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment to the target environment as the expected configuration value; and synchronize the configuration value to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment. As a concrete example, if the configuration administrator sets the timeout of a certain risk control API interface to 5000 milliseconds in the pre-release environment, this "5000" is the initial configuration value in the source environment, which will be synchronized as the expected configuration value and stored in the expected value comparison library dedicated to the target environment. Subsequently, the system will actually overwrite the configuration value to the internal configuration of the target system's underlying layer (such as the configuration center or memory variables) through the network write interface.

[0017] In steps S33 and S34, the system no longer relies on a one-way successful write response, but instead calls the target system's query interface to obtain the actual value. After obtaining the value, the system starts a data status judgment algorithm (such as precise string matching or a deep comparison algorithm for JSON object nesting depth) to compare the expected value and the actual value, and judge the data status of the configuration item, that is, compare the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determine the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result. If the two are consistent, the data status of the configuration item to be managed is determined to be consistent; if the actual effective configuration value is empty due to network failure (not found or query failed), or the expected configuration value is not equal to the actual effective configuration value, the system determines that its data status is inconsistent.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, the flowchart for comparing expected and actual values ​​will now be explained. Figure 1 This document comprehensively demonstrates the logical flow of the system's detection and verification of configuration parameters. The entire process includes the following steps and decision branches: Process triggering and value retrieval: The process begins with triggering a data status check node.

[0019] The system then proceeds to the Expected Values ​​node for querying configuration items. Essentially, this step retrieves the configuration values ​​that are expected to take effect in the target environment from the Expected Values ​​table.

[0020] The system calls the target system's query interface, that is, it obtains the actual effective value by calling the target system's configuration query interface over the network.

[0021] First level of judgment (interface connectivity verification): The process proceeds to the first condition: Was the query API call successful?

[0022] If the determination is negative, the system proceeds to execute the record query failure operation, keeping the actual value empty, thus directly concluding that the data status is inconsistent, and the process ends prematurely at this abnormal branch.

[0023] If the determination is yes, the system will normally obtain the actual value, that is, return the actual effective value of the configuration from the target system, and then the process will continue to proceed.

[0024] Second judgment: After successfully receiving the return packet, the process proceeds to the second condition: whether the actual value is empty.

[0025] If the determination is yes, the system concludes: Data status = inconsistent, and the comment next to it clearly states that the actual value being empty indicates that the configuration has not taken effect or the query was lost. Then the process ends at this abnormal branch.

[0026] If the determination is negative, the process safely switches to the core execution node: comparing the expected value with the actual value. At this point, the system will perform a string comparison or a deep comparison of the JSON object; this process is described in subsequent implementation examples.

[0027] Third judgment: The process proceeds to the final numerical comparison and judgment: Expected value == Actual value? If the determination is yes, the system concludes: Data status = consistent, which means that the configuration has been correctly implemented in the target environment.

[0028] If the determination is negative, the system concludes that the data status is inconsistent, which means that the configuration has not taken effect correctly in the target environment and requires further inspection.

[0029] The two comparison and judgment branches mentioned above converge below, and the system uniformly executes the "record comparison results" operation. The specific disk entry action is to record information such as data status, expected value, actual value, and comparison time.

[0030] Finally, the system returns the data status and sends the final verification result back to the upper-layer scheduling application, thus concluding the entire process.

[0031] In step S40, the system controls the state machine to converge smoothly based on the comprehensive data status of all configuration items to be managed covered by this synchronization task. When all configuration items are consistent, the task smoothly transitions to the task success state; if any inconsistent or defective configuration item exists, the process is immediately blocked and transitioned to the task failure state that records the anomaly.

[0032] As can be seen, this embodiment provides a method for monitoring the synchronization status of configurations across multiple environments. By constructing a complete finite-stage transition state machine mechanism for configuration synchronization between multiple environments and forcibly embedding bidirectional comparison logic for the issuance of expected configuration values, it transforms the traditional, disorderly, and easily overlooked manual configuration transfer into an automated closed-loop management process strictly driven by the machine and with clear steps. This mechanism, which forcibly obtains the actual effective parameters at the target system's underlying level and compares them with preset benchmarks, eliminates configuration blind spots, achieves automated synchronization of configurations across multiple environments, improves the efficiency and accuracy of configuration management, and reduces the risk of downtime due to inconsistencies in configurations across environments.

[0033] In one embodiment, before step S10, that is, before creating the synchronization task corresponding to the configuration synchronization request, the method further includes the following steps: S11. Verify the configuration synchronization request according to the environment restriction mechanism. The environment restriction mechanism limits the source environment to a pre-release environment that supports saving configuration values, and limits the target environment to a gray-scale environment or production environment that does not support saving configuration values ​​and only supports obtaining configuration values ​​through synchronization. S12. After the verification is successful, trigger the step of creating a synchronization task corresponding to the configuration synchronization request.

[0034] It's important to understand that in enterprise-level distributed system architectures, the arbitrariness of configuration changes and the ambiguity of environment boundaries are often the core causes of major online incidents. Specifically, the environment restriction mechanism is a set of strong validation rules based on environment hierarchy attributes and data flow constraints. Under this strict definition, the pre-release environment (pre) is physically defined as the initial storage node for configuration data, granted supreme permissions to directly write and save configuration values, primarily used for the initial setting of core parameters and internal testing verification. In contrast, the data modification permissions for the grayscale environment (gray, used for trial operation verification facing some real business traffic) and the production environment (prod, the final official operating environment for all users) are restricted, strictly designed to prevent developers or operations personnel from directly and manually saving configuration values; they only serve as subordinate consumer nodes receiving data from the upstream environment.

[0035] As a specific example of a business control scenario, when the system's front-end gateway receives a configuration synchronization request, its internal permission interceptor first parses the request payload, extracting the source and target environment parameters. The system performs strict route validity checks, absolutely prohibiting any unauthorized operations attempting to bypass layers. For example, the system strictly intercepts and rejects requests to directly jump from the pre-release environment to the production environment, and also intercepts abnormal network actions such as writing back configurations from the production environment to the gray-scale environment. The system mandates that data flow must strictly follow a unidirectional forward transmission path of pre-release -> gray-scale or gray-scale -> production. Only when the path characteristics of the synchronization request fully comply with the above-mentioned environment restriction verification criteria will the system execute step S12, that is, logically allow the request, and trigger the subsequent core processes of creating a synchronization task in memory and allocating a state machine.

[0036] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by forcibly introducing an environment restriction mechanism with restricted save permissions and strict one-way synchronization path constraints, the system cuts off code execution paths at the forefront of network requests, preventing unauthorized tampering, direct connection to the production environment, or illegal cross-environment synchronization. Through permission isolation and path control mechanisms, combined with automated synchronization monitoring, all configuration change actions are forcibly incorporated into a standardized security verification workflow of pre-release testing-canary verification-production deployment. This reduces the risk of large-scale system-level shutdowns caused by unauthorized configuration injection into the production cluster, significantly improving the security baseline and compliance of multi-environment data system operations.

[0037] In one embodiment, step S33 above, which involves calling the query interface of the target system to obtain the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the internal configuration, and using it as the actual effective configuration value, includes the following steps: S331. After the synchronization task completes the synchronization operation to the internal configuration, or after the configuration push action is completed, or when an active check instruction for the configuration item to be managed is received, a query request containing the identification information of the configuration item to be managed is sent to the target system. S332. If the query request call is successful, the configuration value returned by the query interface is received as the actual effective configuration value; if the query request call fails, the query failure information is recorded and it is determined that the actual effective configuration value is empty.

[0038] In its implementation, the query probe triggering mechanism in step S331 does not employ a high-frequency, resource-intensive, all-around polling scan. Instead, it is precisely anchored to three key event hooks. As a specific business scenario example, these three triggering times include: when the background synchronization task has just completed the write operation to the target environment's internal configuration disk; when the data packet containing the new configuration is pushed to the edge-enabled system; and when administrators proactively initiate a data status diagnostic command for the configuration item through a monitoring panel or external script. This event-driven triggering mechanism ensures that every actual value retrieval request closely follows a critical node where configuration changes may occur.

[0039] Furthermore, in step S332, considering that remote procedure calls (RPCs) or interface network requests in a distributed communication environment are prone to timeout failures due to network jitter, temporary target node downtime, etc., if a query request sent to the target system does not respond or the call fails, the system will not block or suspend its own synchronous main thread. Instead, it will record the exception stack and failure information in detail in the log system for auditing. At the same time, the code logic will force the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed to be reliably assigned to a null pointer or an empty string. Since the actual state of the configuration in the target environment becomes unknown, according to the underlying preset data state judgment algorithm, if the actual effective configuration value is empty due to query failure, the system will inevitably output inconsistent alarm judgment results in the subsequent comparison process.

[0040] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by setting dynamic queries at key event nodes in the configuration lifecycle and combining them with an algorithm that automatically downgrades to null values ​​upon query failure, unnecessary network bandwidth consumption is avoided, and the system can also serve as a powerful status detection mechanism. While ensuring that the synchronous main business flow is not affected by single-point query failures, the system forces unknown query statuses to be exposed as network anomalies, which greatly improves the sensitivity of the system in detecting abnormal configuration statuses of target nodes and effectively blocks false negatives (i.e., erroneous false reports of consistent status) monitoring security vulnerabilities caused by faults in the monitoring query channel itself.

[0041] In one embodiment, the multiple task states configured for the synchronization task include: Initialization state; The "Expected value synchronization in progress" status is used to trigger the execution of the operation that synchronizes the configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment to the target environment as the expected configuration value. The external configuration verification status is used to verify whether the target environment meets the preset synchronization conditions, and triggers the transition to the next task status when the synchronization conditions are met. The internal configuration is in a synchronization state, which is used to trigger the execution of the operation to synchronize the configuration values ​​to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment; The synchronization result verification status is used to trigger the operation of comparing the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determining the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result; And the task success status and the task failure status.

[0042] In this embodiment, the synchronization task is assigned a finite state machine (FSM) model with time-series attributes and business logic isolation depth. The task states in the state machine are not simply text labels.

[0043] Specifically, the "initialization state" indicates that the task's metadata entities (such as task ID, operator, source and target environment identifiers, etc.) have just been created and persisted to the database, and the system has not yet initiated any network calls. The "expected value synchronization" state indicates that the system extracts the baseline data of the source environment and copies its mirror image to the target environment's dedicated expected value database table.

[0044] Before accessing the core operating parameters of the target system, the system must enter the external configuration verification state. This stage aims to verify whether the target node meets the preset synchronization conditions. As a specific business scenario example, the system will verify whether the target environment is under network restrictions, whether the target library is alive, and whether the necessary environment variable containers are ready. Only after all these external physical and pre-existing logical conditions are met will the state machine pointer be allowed to switch to the internal configuration synchronization state.

[0045] During the internal configuration synchronization state, the system begins executing overwrite or destructive parameter overwriting network calls to the target system's internal configuration. Once the overwrite instructions are written to disk on the remote node, the state machine immediately enters the synchronization result verification state. In this stage, the system performs a verification process, obtaining the actual effective configuration values ​​and comparing them with the expected values. Finally, based on the verification and comparison results of all configuration items, the entire synchronization process converges to two static termination nodes: task success or task failure.

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, the state transition of the synchronization task will now be explained. Figure 3 This demonstrates the complete lifecycle and state machine transition logic of the configuration synchronization task from creation to final convergence: First, the system triggers the action of creating a synchronization task, and the task enters the first node: init (initialization): This is the initial state when the task is created.

[0047] Figure 3 The sidebar includes a global state description: state transitions are unidirectional; each state can only transition to the next state; and backtracking is not allowed. This defines the strict unidirectional policy of the entire state machine.

[0048] Upon receiving the start synchronization command, the task flow moves to the next node: expect_syncing: The core operation performed by the system in this stage is to synchronize the configuration values ​​of the source environment to the expected value table of the target environment. If an exception occurs during this stage, the circuit breaker will be broken and the process will proceed directly to the bottom task_failed state; if the expected value synchronization is completed, the process will proceed forward to the next node.

[0049] external_validating (external configuration validation in progress): During this stage, the system performs operations to verify whether the configuration of the target environment meets the synchronization conditions. Similarly, if an exception occurs, it directly transitions to the task_failed state; if the validation passes, it safely switches to the core execution node.

[0050] internal_syncing: During this stage, the system performs substantive parameter overwriting, synchronizing configuration values ​​to the target system's internal configuration. If an exception occurs, it directly transitions to the task_failed state; once internal synchronization is complete, it seamlessly transitions to the review node.

[0051] result_validating (Synchronization result validation in progress): The system performs a post-comparison at this stage, that is, it verifies the synchronization result by comparing the actual value with the expected value.

[0052] If an inconsistency or anomaly is found during the comparison, the current process is interrupted, and the process is directly redirected to the task_failed state.

[0053] If the probe verification confirms that all configuration items are consistent, then the process smoothly converges and transitions to the task_success state.

[0054] `task_failed` indicates that the synchronous task failed, and the reason for the failure is recorded. Next to this node is a global exception handling description panel explaining the system's fault tolerance logic: if any stage of execution fails, the process immediately transitions to the task failure state; the reason for the failure is recorded.

[0055] task_success (task successful): This means that the synchronization task has been successfully completed, all configuration items have been synchronized and the data status is consistent.

[0056] Both of these final states (task_failed and task_success) ultimately point to the end of the process, marking the complete closed loop of the lifecycle of a single configuration synchronization task. Figure 3 This demonstrates intuitively how the application uses a finite state machine to finely slice the black-box synchronization process, and how it strictly adheres to the design principles of unidirectional flow and immediate circuit breaking in case of anomalies.

[0057] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the originally coarse, single cross-environment synchronous network request is divided into a multi-layered task state machine covering baseline setting, pre-physical verification, core overwriting, and post-logical review. This mechanism decouples the massive synchronous transaction into highly discrete and single-responsibility execution slices, giving the system scheduling excellent process transparency and traceability, reducing the troubleshooting cost for operations engineers to locate fault breakpoints in massive microservice logs, and significantly improving the global control and maintainability of large-scale distributed systems when facing complex environmental changes.

[0058] In one embodiment, step S30 above, controlling the synchronization task to perform unidirectional irreversible flow between multiple task states, includes: S301. If an execution exception occurs in any task state, or if the data state of any configuration item to be managed is determined to be inconsistent during the synchronization result verification, the current flow is interrupted and the synchronization task is directly transferred to the task failure state. S302. Record the reason for failure and exception stack information, and prohibit the state of the synchronous task from rolling back to the state of the completed task.

[0059] In enterprise-level engineering practices involving multiple concurrent nodes, repeated jumps in the state of network requests or business logic tasks can easily lead to serious data pollution. Therefore, in step S301, when the system captures an execution exception at any stage (for example, encountering a deadlock in the underlying database record when writing configuration to the target node, or a socket connection timeout or other underlying error when establishing a network connection), or when the system finds that the comparison value is incomplete due to the target node's caching delay during synchronization result verification (i.e., the data state is determined to be inconsistent), the system will immediately block the currently executing asynchronous thread, forcibly causing the state machine pointer to skip all remaining normal business stages and directly fall into and lock onto the only abnormal termination node, i.e., the task failure state.

[0060] For step S302, the system disables the logic of state rollback or partial retry, i.e., implements a no-rollback mechanism. This means that state transitions are forcibly designed to be irreversible and unidirectional; the state can only flow to the next preset state or the failure endpoint. For example, actions such as reverting from the state in internal configuration synchronization to the state in expected value synchronization for re-execution are absolutely not allowed. Once an interrupt is triggered, the system will fully freeze the memory runtime environment at the moment the error occurred, and persist the specific failure cause of the exception (such as target library authentication failure) and its complete exception stack trace (i.e., the list of method call hierarchy data thrown upwards from the lower level when the program throws an exception) to the relational database for long-term storage.

[0061] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by designing and strictly implementing a stateless rollback mechanism for a unidirectional irreversible flow pattern, coupled with an immediate circuit breaker and a full-scale exception stack trace capture strategy, the system effectively isolates logical infinite loops and cascading crashes that may be caused by local abnormal states in complex microservice topologies. This reduces or avoids the overwriting of dirty data that may result from repeated execution and provides the purest, uncontaminated original error log clues for subsequent fault-oriented repair, significantly improving the overall fault tolerance and troubleshooting efficiency of the multi-environment synchronization platform.

[0062] In one embodiment, after determining the data status corresponding to at least one configuration item to be managed, the method further includes: S41. Obtain a configuration push instruction for at least one target configuration item in the configuration items to be managed; S42. Verify whether the target configuration item simultaneously meets the following conditions: the configuration value has been saved, the corresponding data status is consistent, and the current push status for the target configuration item is not in the push state. S43. When the above conditions are met, call the push interface to send the expected configuration value corresponding to the target configuration item to the target system, and update the push status according to the sending result; S44. If the updated push status is a successful push status, the step of re-checking the data status of the target configuration item will be automatically triggered.

[0063] It should be understood that in modern enterprise application architectures, the disk storage of configuration data and the in-memory activation of application instances are often decoupled. The configuration push command in step S41 is essentially a network trigger signal used to trigger the target business cluster to perform configuration hot reloading. As an example, even if the configuration values ​​have been synchronized to the underlying database of the target environment, the memory parameters of the business nodes may not be refreshed immediately. In this case, it is necessary to obtain a separate configuration push command to complete the distribution of configuration data to the final edge consumer terminal (i.e., the activation system).

[0064] In step S42, before executing the actual push action, the system constructs a rigorous triple-layer processing layer at the code logic layer to filter illegal or risky requests. Specifically: the first layer is physical layer verification, which checks that the saved configuration value is not empty, ensuring that the data payload to be pushed actually exists; the second layer is logical layer verification, which checks that the data state of the configuration is consistent, meaning that the configuration item has been reverse-engineered and verified as accurate by the system in the earlier state machine transition, thereby avoiding pushing flawed dirty data online; the third layer is network channel concurrency control verification, which checks that the current push state is not in the pushing state, to prevent network packet congestion and repeated push storms caused by retry mechanisms or frequent human clicks in a short period of time.

[0065] Step S43 will be legally activated only after all three defense verifications mentioned above have passed. The system will then call a specific push interface to dispatch the actual data payload to the target system and update the maintenance status of this configuration item within the push lifecycle in real time based on the network status code returned from the remote end (e.g., dynamically update to push success or push failure).

[0066] In step S44, the system successfully receives the HTTP 200 (push successful) confirmation response returned by the remote node. Internally, an asynchronous delay trigger will be mounted to automatically initiate a new data status check for the target configuration item (i.e., re-call the query interface to obtain the actual effective configuration value and compare it with the expected configuration value).

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, and in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, the configuration push flowchart is explained below. This flowchart comprehensively illustrates the entire lifecycle of configuration data being pushed from the configuration center to the target system. The entire process begins at the top starting node and includes the following stages and detailed decision branches: Process triggering phase: The system first enters the node for receiving push requests (merchant ID, configuration item code, environment) to obtain the key parameters required to trigger hot reloading of configuration.

[0068] The system then proceeds to the verification and push preconditions node, where it establishes a rigorous triple-judgment system.

[0069] First level of judgment: The process enters its first judgment condition: Has the configuration item's configuration value been saved? If the judgment is no, the system directly blocks the process, returns an error: Configuration value not saved, and proceeds to the end node of this branch. If the judgment is yes, it is allowed to proceed to the next line of defense.

[0070] Second judgment: The process then proceeds to the second condition: Is the data status normal? If the condition is no, the system blocks the process, returns an error: abnormal data status, and redirects to the end node of that branch to prevent dirty data from being pushed to the production environment. If the condition is yes, the process is allowed to proceed to the final line of defense.

[0071] Third judgment: The process then proceeds to the third condition: whether the push status is "pushing". If the condition is "yes", it means the current channel is occupied, the system blocks the process, returns an error: "pushing", and redirects to the end node of this branch to avoid a concurrent network storm. If the condition is "no", it means the preconditions for pushing have passed, and the process officially enters the substantive network push phase.

[0072] Push execution phase: The system first sets the push status to "Pushing in Progress," and then calls the system push interface to activate it.

[0073] Push result judgment and closing stage: The process proceeds to network callback verification: If the push API call is successful, the system sets the push status to "Push Successful." Next, a data status check is triggered, and finally, the system returns "Push Successful" and imports it into the final end node. If the check fails, the system sets the push status to "Push Failed." Then, the reason for failure is recorded. Finally, the system returns "Push Failed," which is also imported into the final end node.

[0074] Figure 4 The note on the right side of the middle section summarizes the three lines of defense: Prerequisites for push notifications: 1. Configuration values ​​have been saved 2. Data status is normal 3. Push notification status is allowed. Figure 4 The bottom center tab defines the configuration items belonging to the full state enumeration of the push lifecycle: Push Status: -modified: Modifications not yet pushed; -pushing: In progress; -push_success: Push successful; -push_failed: Push failed; -unsupported: Push notifications are not supported.

[0075] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by introducing a stringent triple joint pre-verification and an automatic secondary re-verification post-verification mechanism in the distribution stage of business hot configuration, the pre-conditions for push are strongly constrained, ensuring that only pure data packets that fully meet the conditions can be released for execution. At the same time, through the delivery determinism of the automated push action and the network's anti-concurrency capability after execution, the transient impact of incomplete or unclear parameter packets on the online business system is effectively avoided.

[0076] In one embodiment, after controlling the synchronization task to eventually transition to a task success state or a task failure state, the method further includes: S51. Generate a structured report containing the total number of managed configuration items involved in the synchronization task, the number of managed configuration items whose data status is determined to be consistent, the number of managed configuration items whose data status is determined to be inconsistent, and the specific reasons for the inconsistency in data status. S52. The structured report is persistently stored in the synchronization task table in JSON format. The synchronization task table records the execution time and execution result of the synchronization task in each task state.

[0077] In step S51, the system performs statistical analysis and dimensionality reduction cleaning on the fragmented comparison logs, thereby automatically generating a structured report. This structured report is a data entity that has stripped away redundant communication code and retains only core business metrics. As a specific example, the system calculates and extracts highly self-explanatory fields: such as the total number of configuration items to be managed representing the scale of this task (e.g., totalItems: 100), the number of consistent items that have been verified without error (consistentItems: 98), the number of inconsistent items that have deviated (inconsistentItems: 2), and the specific reasons for each specific variable dimension (e.g., revealing that a certain configuration failed because the target database field length overflowed or the write timed out).

[0078] In step S52, the system uses a serialization protocol to encode the generated verification results and synchronization overview into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. It should be understood that JSON is a lightweight data exchange format that inherently possesses a hierarchical, nested tree structure and is parsed across multiple platforms and languages. The system persists this entire dataset as a large text field in the synchronization task table of the physical database. Furthermore, this set of structured JSON reports is forcibly bound at the database level to a globally unique tracking identifier (Task ID) for this synchronization task, and forms a strong correlation record with the precise timestamps of state machine transitions at each stage (such as the time of entering the expected value synchronization state, the time of entering the verification stage), and the final result.

[0079] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by cleaning the complex comparison results that are multi-dimensional and fragmented, and encapsulating them into a lightweight and machine-readable JSON structured report, and then strongly associating and persisting it with the task execution timeline, the discrete verification logs are transformed into structured traceability credentials. This not only greatly facilitates operation and maintenance experts to conduct accurate and in-depth problem tracing, but also provides the most complete and reliable historical data snapshot support for the system to perform one-click automated configuration version rollback in the face of production environment disaster recovery scenarios.

[0080] In one embodiment, after controlling the synchronization task to eventually transition to a task failure state, the method further includes: S81. Determine whether the failure reason corresponding to the task failure status meets the preset retry conditions. S82. If the retry condition is met, the synchronization task will be retried in the synchronization task state machine according to the preset number of retries and retry interval.

[0081] Specifically, the preset retry criteria are a rule base built on exception types. When a synchronization task fails, the system does not blindly intercept or retry indiscriminately, but instead parses the exception type and core error code thrown at runtime. For example, as a specific business scenario, if the analyzer parses the failure as an unrecoverable fatal physical or logical error such as the target database's read / write permissions being revoked, a hard overflow in the field format of the write parameter, or a mismatch in the data table structure, the system determines that it does not meet the retry criteria, leaving it in the failed state and immediately triggering a critical alarm to the upper-level operation and maintenance monitoring panel. However, if the system captures an exception failure as merely a transient network anomaly caused by a TCPSocket handshake connection timeout, occasional API gateway routing jitter, or a brief rate-limiting degradation of a dependent third-party microservice, the analyzer will accurately match such causes and include them in the whitelist that meets the retry criteria.

[0082] In step S82, the system automatically initiates self-healing actions based on pre-set configuration parameters such as the number of retries and retry intervals. As a preferred implementation, this retry scheduling process typically incorporates an exponential backoff algorithm, for example, limiting the maximum retry threshold to 3 times, setting the initial waiting interval to 5 seconds, and dynamically increasing subsequent retry intervals proportionally to avoid causing new concurrency impacts on the newly recovered target service. At the arrival of each retry cycle, the system reawakens the suspended and dormant synchronous task in an isolated asynchronous thread pool, controlling it to restart the full-cycle flow probing from the state machine.

[0083] As can be seen, in this embodiment, by introducing an intelligent retry defense based on anomaly type segmentation at the static endpoint of task failure, the configuration synchronization workflow can effectively identify and automatically resist service freezes caused by transient network jitter. This avoids the system getting stuck in meaningless and resource-intensive infinite retry loops for fatal errors, and provides a buffer window for the system to self-heal in the face of transient network failures. This significantly enhances network robustness and system fault tolerance in distributed high-concurrency environments, and greatly reduces the frequency of manual intervention by operations engineers to troubleshoot occasional network fluctuations.

[0084] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.

Please refer to... Figure 5 The system includes: The request acquisition module 51 is used to acquire the configuration synchronization request.

The task and flow control module 52 is used to create and configure the synchronization task corresponding to the synchronization request, and configure the synchronization task state machine containing multiple task states for the synchronization task; control the synchronization task to flow unidirectionally and irreversibly between multiple task states; and when the flow reaches the corresponding task state, for each of the at least one to-be-managed configuration items, trigger the subsequent synchronization execution module and status monitoring module to perform the corresponding operations. The synchronization execution module 53 is used to synchronize the configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the source environment to the target environment as the expected configuration value; and to synchronize the configuration value to the internal configuration of the target system corresponding to the target environment. The status monitoring module 54 is used to call the query interface of the target system to obtain the actual effective configuration value of the configuration item to be managed in the internal configuration, and use it as the actual effective configuration value; compare the expected configuration value with the actual effective configuration value, and determine the data status of the configuration item to be managed based on the comparison result; The task and flow control module 55 is also used to control the synchronous task to eventually flow to the task success state or task failure state, which is the end point of the flow, according to the data status corresponding to at least one configuration item to be managed.
