Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large-scale network systems in complex projects lack an overall and scientific standard for measuring health degrees, leading to numerous alarms and a lack of intuitive visual presentation, failing to meet the personalized monitoring needs of different roles within the system.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for monitoring network systems that introduce a health degree metric and algorithm, allowing for intuitive presentation of health degrees at different levels, enabling flexible grouping and personalized monitoring perspectives for various roles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional monitoring schemes monitor respective asset nodes in detail, then monitoring coverage is improved, but the number of alarms increases and overall health assessment capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring system into multiple hierarchical levels (network system level, resource cluster level, server level, service level, and asset node level). Each level has its own health degree calculation and presentation, allowing detailed monitoring at the bottom level while maintaining overall health assessment at higher levels through aggregated health degrees.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a hierarchical dimension to the monitoring system by introducing multiple levels of health degree presentation. Instead of a single flat monitoring view, the system provides multi-dimensional health assessment from individual asset nodes up to the entire network system, enabling both detailed and overall perspectives simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If traditional monitoring schemes monitor all asset nodes, then comprehensive monitoring is achieved, but intuitive visual presentation and personalized perspectives are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the health degree presentation into different visual levels and types (overall health degree, cluster health degree, service health degree, etc.). Each level provides intuitive visual indicators appropriate to its scope, with the network system level providing high-level overview and individual asset levels providing detailed status, making the system easy to operate at any desired level of detail.
3Measurement precision
If detailed monitoring of all asset nodes is implemented, then monitoring accuracy is improved, but the system cannot meet personalized monitoring needs of different roles
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring system into role-based views where different staff roles (development, computer room operation and maintenance, equipment operation and maintenance, application operation and maintenance) can access health degree information at different hierarchical levels and with different focus areas, all while maintaining accurate monitoring of all underlying assets.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal health degree calculation framework that serves multiple roles and purposes simultaneously. The same underlying monitoring data supports different presentation levels and role-specific views, making the system adaptable to various user needs without sacrificing monitoring accuracy.

AI summary
Provided are a method and an apparatus for monitoring a network system, and a computing device. The network system includes at least one resource cluster. The method includes: in response to a health degree display triggering event, displaying a health degree of a monitored object on a first display interface, different health degrees corresponding to different marks, wherein the monitored object includes at least one of the following: the network system, one or more resource clusters in the at least one resource cluster, one or more resources included in the network system, or one or more services provided by the network system. The health degrees of various levels can be displayed, and a scientific basis can also be provided for the response time of the operation and maintenance personnel based on the different health degrees, so that rapid problem positioning can be achieved, thereby solving the management problem.
