Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In distributed cluster environments, existing methods fail to intuitively and centrally reflect the overall health condition of virtual machines, making it difficult to quickly evaluate the health status and locate abnormal machines due to limitations in displaying representation indicators.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine values of representation indicators at multiple sampling points, generate image information to display changes, and associate values using sorting requirements, allowing for intuitive display of changes and identification of abnormal trends.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If real-time indicator information of all virtual machines is simultaneously displayed, then completeness of information is improved, but intuitiveness of overall status and ability to locate abnormal machines deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into multiple sorting positions (first sorting position, second sorting position, etc.) where each position groups virtual machines by their indicator values at different sampling time points. This segmentation allows complete information to be organized in a structured manner that maintains intuitiveness, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of sorting positions to organize the data. Instead of displaying all virtual machine indicators in a flat list, it creates multiple sorting positions that represent different groupings or perspectives of the same data, allowing users to intuitively understand overall status while accessing complete information across different dimensions.
2Measurement precision
If specific representation indicators of virtual machines are listed one by one, then detail information is improved, but ability to evaluate overall health condition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the virtual machine indicators into multiple sorting positions where each position contains detailed indicator information. The first sorting position contains indicators from a first sampling time point, the second sorting position contains indicators from a second sampling time point, and so on. This segmentation preserves measurement precision while enabling overall health evaluation through the structured arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds the dimension of sorting positions to organize detailed indicator information. By arranging indicators across multiple sorting positions representing different sampling time points, it maintains measurement precision while providing a comprehensive view for evaluating overall health condition.
3Quantity of substance
If split-screen display is used for large quantity of virtual machines, then capacity to display all machines is improved, but complexity of display and ability to locate abnormal machines deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display of numerous virtual machines into multiple sorting positions, where each position contains a subset of virtual machine indicators organized by sampling time point. This segmentation allows the system to handle large quantities of virtual machines without requiring complex split-screen displays, as the segmented organization naturally distributes the information across the interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces sorting positions as an additional dimension to organize virtual machine data. Instead of using spatial segmentation through split-screens, it organizes data temporally and logically across sorting positions, reducing display complexity while maintaining the ability to show information about all virtual machines.
