First, the operation of the monitoring abnormality countermeasure unit 1 (including the operation of the active process memory usage collecting unit 2 and the abnormality countermeasure execution unit 6) will be described.

First, the monitoring abnormality countermeasure unit 1 passes control to the operating process memory usage amount collecting unit 2 (step S11 in FIG. 2).

As shown in FIG. 3, when the operating process memory usage collecting means 2 receives control from the monitoring abnormality countermeasure means 1, the operating system uses the memory usage of the running process from each viewpoint (here, Handle Count,
Page File Bytes, Pool Nonpaged Bytes, Pool Paged B
ytes, Private Bytes, Thread Count, Virtual Bytes,
It is obtained based on each of the Working Sets (step S30 in FIG. 3), and the control is returned to the monitoring abnormality countermeasure unit 1 together with the memory usage for each viewpoint.

Use amount).

B. The maximum value and the minimum value of the memory usage collected in the above a are acquired.

The operating monitoring condition / increase tendency determination result storage means 40 is accessed, and information on the running process in the operating monitoring condition / increase tendency determination result 4 is adopted as a monitoring condition.
The threshold value of the running process (calculation threshold value and threshold value of the continuous increase number) is obtained from the information (step S14), and the operating system receives the threshold value of the running process from the operating system at every monitoring interval time indicated by the information. The memory usage amount (memory usage amount for each viewpoint) is collected (step S15), and the memory usage amount is determined as a threshold value in the information (a calculation threshold value of the contents shown in FIG. 9 or a continuous increase count threshold value). ) Is determined (step S16).

If it is determined in step S16 that the memory usage exceeds a threshold value (calculation threshold value or continuous increase count threshold value), the monitoring abnormality handling means 1 stores an abnormality notification.

As shown in FIG.
Performs the following processing.

A service list is acquired from the operating system (step S40 in FIG. 7), and it is determined whether or not the running process is in the service list (the running process is a service) (step S41).

If it is determined in step S41 that "the running process is a service", the service is stopped (step S42), and the setting content of the countermeasure (error countermeasure) is changed to "end (stop)". It is checked whether the combination is "combination with activation" (restart is included in the setting contents of the measure) (step S43).

If it is determined in step S43 that "restart is included in the coping settings," the service is started (step S44).

If it is determined in step S41 that the running process is not a service (the running process is not in the service list), the operating system determines that the process (the service is not a service). The startup drive directory file name of the (running process) is acquired (step S45), the process is terminated (step S46), and a countermeasure (error countermeasure) is performed.
It is checked whether or not the setting content is "combination of termination and restart" (restart is included in the setting content of the measure) (step S47).

If it is determined in step S47 that "restart is included in the action setting," the process is started (step S48).

If it is determined in step S43 or S47 that "restart is not included in the setting contents of the countermeasure", or if the processing in step S44 or S48 is completed, a series of processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed. Then, the control is returned to the monitoring abnormality countermeasure unit 1.

Waits for the interval time specified in (step S2
0), and thereafter, the above-described processing of step S11 and subsequent steps are repeated.

Further, the monitoring abnormality countermeasure unit 1 determines in step S
16 "The memory usage does not exceed the threshold"
Also, if it is determined in step S18 that "the monitoring condition has no abnormal response,"
0, and then repeat the above-described processing from step S11.
