Log Transmission Statistic Generation for Omission Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to recognize log file omissions on a log collection server when transmission errors occur during remote access, leading to incomplete log information during checks.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a first transmission control unit for sending log information to a log collection server, a generation unit for generating statistic information on log transmission, and a second transmission control unit for transmitting this statistic information to the server, enabling the detection of transmission errors and omissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If log files are transmitted remotely to a log collection server, then log information can be accessed quickly and conveniently, but transmission errors may occur and omissions cannot be recognized
Solution Approach 1:
The system generates statistic information about log transmission before finalizing the transmission process. This preliminary action records which log files should have been transmitted, creating a reference baseline that enables later detection of any omissions or transmission failures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transmits statistic information from the log collection server back to the information processing apparatus. This feedback mechanism allows the originating system to compare expected transmissions against actual receptions, enabling detection and recognition of any log file omissions that occurred during transmission.
2Productivity
If log transmission is performed without verification, then the transmission process is simple and fast, but transmission errors and omissions go undetected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces statistic information as an intermediary element that mediates between the log transmission process and the verification process. This intermediary carries metadata about transmitted logs without requiring retransmission of actual log data, enabling error detection without sacrificing transmission speed.
3Reliability
If statistic information about log transmission is generated and transmitted, then transmission errors and omissions can be detected, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the log management functionality into distinct components: a first transmission control unit for log files, a generation unit for statistic information, and a second transmission control unit for transmitting the statistic information. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable.
