Detailed Description

The embodiment of the invention provides a comparison information display method, which can automatically compare the information related to the updated data on each application server and involved in comparison with the reference information on the first management equipment through the first management equipment, and display the comparison result on the second management equipment in a graph form, so that the inspection efficiency of the updated data is improved, and the missing inspection rate can be reduced through automatic comparison. The embodiment of the invention also provides corresponding equipment and a corresponding system. The following are detailed below.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of an embodiment of an application management system.

As shown in fig. 1, the application management system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first management device 10, a network 20, N application servers 30, and a second management device 40, where the first management device 10, the N application servers 30, and the second management device 40 are communicatively connected through the network 20. Wherein N is an integer greater than 3, and the value of N is usually large. Application servers 30 typically may be in the hundreds or thousands.

In the application management system shown in fig. 1, applications run in N application servers, and are responsible for providing application services for users, for example: the N application servers can run game applications of the hero alliance and are responsible for providing services for players of the hero alliance. The application manager performs application management through the second management device 40, that is, the second management device 40 operates and maintains the N application servers 30, and updates files in the N application servers, for example: upgrade version, etc. The first management device 10 receives the update file from the second management device, and the update file may include the program data, version number, service identifier, and information digest algorithm value MD5 of the update file, or of course, the MD5 may be calculated by the first management device according to the program data of the update file. The first management apparatus 10 receives the update file and stores the update file.

After the N application servers 30 receive the updated file issued by the second management device 40, the file update is performed normally, for example: the version upgrade is completed, but there may be cases where the individual application server does not receive the update file, resulting in the individual server not performing the version upgrade.

The application server 30 will typically report the information of participation in the comparison to the first management device 10 at regular time or triggered by an event. In the embodiment of the present invention, the information participating in the comparison may be version information, or may be MD5 of the update file or MD5 of the core file in the update file. Although each application server reports the information participating in the comparison to the first management device when the reporting time of each application server is reached or triggered by an event under normal conditions, the first management device 10 may not receive the information participating in the comparison reported by each application server in the N application servers, and may only receive the information of the currently running application reported by the M application servers 30, where M is less than or equal to N, because the failure of the individual application server does not report the information participating in the comparison to the first management device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first management device 10 receives information of the currently running application, which is reported by M application servers 30 of the N application servers 30, respectively, where M is equal to or less than N.

After receiving information of currently running applications respectively reported by M application servers 30, the first management device 10 determines information of comparison participation of each application server in the N application servers, where the information of comparison participation of the M application servers is information of currently running applications reported by the M application servers, respectively, and if M is less than N, the comparison information of (N-M) application servers not reported is null; the first management device 10 compares each piece of information involved in comparison with the reference information in the information base respectively to obtain a comparison result of at least one type; the reference information in the information base is information of an update file sent by the second management device 40, and the update file is sent to each of the N application servers by the second management device. The first management device 10 sends the comparison result of the at least one type to the second management device 40.

The second management device 40 receives and displays the at least one type of comparison result in a graphical form.

Compared with the prior art that application management personnel need to check whether data updating is completed or not one by one application server, the application management system provided by the embodiment of the invention can automatically compare the information which is related to the updated data and participates in comparison on each application server with the reference information on the first management equipment through the first management equipment, and display the comparison result on the second management equipment in a graph form, so that the display is intuitive, the checking efficiency of the updated data is improved, and the missing rate can be reduced through automatic comparison.

Because the number of the application servers is large, partition management is usually performed on the application servers, and the partition mode of the application servers and the number of the application servers in each partition can be set according to the needs of operators.

As shown in fig. 2, the N application servers may belong to at least two partitions, and after receiving the comparison information respectively reported by the M application servers, the first management device 10 may determine, according to the identifiers of the partitions to which the M application servers belong, a partition to which each piece of comparison information belongs, and then respectively compare, according to the partition to which each piece of comparison information belongs, the piece of comparison information with the reference information of the corresponding partition in the information base, to obtain a comparison result of each partition in the at least two partitions.

The first management device 10 sends the comparison result of each partition to the second management device 40.

The second management device 40 graphically displays the comparison result of each partition.

Taking the information involved in the comparison as the version number as an example, if the second management device 40 issues an 1.0.0.1 version of the update file to each application server, and the second management device 40 issues the 1.0.0.1 version of the update file to the first management device 10, where the version number of the update file is included. The first management device 10 may add related information such as the version number of the update file to the update file information list as reference information, for example: this can be understood by referring to table 1.

Table 1: updating a file information list

As shown in table 1, after receiving the update file sent by the second management device 40, the first management device 10 adds the version information related to the update file to table 1, but table 1 is only an illustration of the version number, and if the information involved in the comparison is the MD5 of the update file, the MD5 of the update file may be added to a list similar to table 1 by referring to table 1.

For the application servers, when the reporting time is reached, each application server will report the version number of the application currently running to the first management device 10 under a normal condition, and of course, there may be application servers in an abnormal condition, such as: if M application servers report version numbers of respective running applications, the first management device 10 determines partitions to which the reported M version numbers belong according to partition identifiers of each application server in the M application servers, and if M is less than N, the comparison information of (N-M) unreported application servers is null, that is, the (N-M) application servers do not report version numbers.

The first management device 10 may compare the version number of each partition participating in the comparison with the version number of the corresponding partition shown in table 1, if the comparison results in the same partition are all consistent, that is, the version numbers reported by the application servers in the same partition are all v.1.0.0.1, the partition may be displayed in one form, and if not all the comparison results in the same partition are consistent, that is, the version number reported by a possible application server in the same partition is not v.1.0.0.1, or the version number reported by a possible application server in the same partition is not reported by a possible application server in the same partition, the partition may be displayed in another form.

As shown in fig. 3, the comparison results of the partitions displayed by the second management device 40 include comparison results of 10 partitions, and the comparison results of 9 partitions are consistent except that the comparison results of the partition DIS2 are consistent. The comparison result of the partition DIS2 is displayed in one form, and the comparison results of the other 9 partitions are displayed in another form, so that a manager can visually see which partition has a problem, and the partition can be maintained, which is beneficial to improving the maintenance efficiency.

Fig. 3 shows a case of partitioning, in fact, each partition may be further divided into a plurality of sub-regions, and the first management device may determine, for each partition, a sub-region to which each piece of information participating in comparison belongs; comparing each piece of information participating in comparison in each sub-area with reference information in the sub-area to obtain at least one type of sub-area level comparison result in each sub-area, wherein the at least one type of sub-area level comparison result comprises at least one of consistency of two pieces of information of comparison, inconsistency of the two pieces of information of comparison and air participation of the information of comparison, and the two pieces of information of comparison are the information participating in comparison and the reference information;

when the comparison result of the sub-area levels in each sub-area of the sub-area is that the two compared information are consistent, the comparison result of the sub-area is displayed by a graph in a first form, and the two compared information are the information participating in comparison and the reference information;

and when the comparison result of the subarea levels in each subarea of the subarea comprises that the two pieces of information of the comparison pair are inconsistent, displaying the comparison result of the subarea by a graph in a second form.

The partial scheme can be understood by combining with the illustration of fig. 3, the sub-area level comparison result is not shown in the page shown in fig. 3, when the application manager needs to check the sub-area level comparison result in detail, the corresponding partition can be clicked, and the second management device can respond to the checking operation of the manager on the partition, so that the sub-area level comparison result can be shown on the page. If a manager wants to check the comparison result of the sub-area levels under DIS2 in fig. 3, and click DIS2, the page shown in fig. 4 is displayed, as shown in fig. 4, the sub-area levels include a plurality of modules, each module is divided into sub-areas, and the comparison results of the same type are divided into the same sub-area, so that each module may include one sub-area, two sub-areas, or three sub-areas, each module includes a plurality of application servers, for example, 15 application servers are provided under the R1 modules in the first row and the first column, three comparison results may be included in the sub-area levels, or the comparison is taken as an example, the version numbers are respectively the same, the version numbers are not reported and are not the same, and each comparison result is displayed in a different form. Of course, if there are only one or two alignment results, only the alignment result or the two alignment results are shown on the page of the sub-region level.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the comparison result is displayed in different forms, which may be displayed in different colors, different graphic shapes, or other forms capable of distinguishing different results, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, for the application server with wrong or no reported information in the reported information, the first management device may count the IP address of the application server with wrong reported information and the IP address of the application server with no reported information, and then send the IP address of the application server with wrong reported information and the IP address of the application server with no reported information to the second management device, so that a link of "clicking the IP address of the application server with all unreported version numbers copied here" and a link of "clicking the IP address of the application server with all wrong version numbers copied here" as shown in fig. 4 are displayed on the page of the second management device. Thus, the application manager can maintain the application servers with possible problems by copying the IP addresses of the application servers with unreported version numbers and copying the IP addresses of the application servers with all wrong version numbers.

The version number is taken as an example for explanation, the MD5 of the updated file or the key file in the updated file may also be compared, the information reporting and information comparing modes are basically the same, only when the second management device displays the updated file, the partition page display of the comparison result of the MD5 is shown in fig. 5, and the updated file is displayed in different forms, which may be different in color, or different comparison results may be distinguished from each other, when the updated file is consistent or inconsistent with the updated file.

In the partition comparison results shown in fig. 5, only the fifth 603 includes inconsistent comparison results, and the comparison results of the other five partitions are consistent, if the application manager needs to check inconsistent partitions, the partition 603 may be clicked to check, and after clicking, the page shown in fig. 6 may be displayed, as shown in fig. 6, where the page includes file information that is compared normally and file information that is compared abnormally.

Two files are compared together, and the two files are respectively as follows:

/data/dynasty/gameroot/dynasty/version.xml

/tmp/test.txt

wherein, the comparison results of all services of the version.xml file are consistent, and the text.txt file has 4 inconsistent IP addresses. Clicking on the "view" behind can see the result as shown in figure 7.

Fig. 7 shows a specific situation that the comparison result is inconsistent, and an application manager can perform reason analysis through fig. 7, thereby maintaining the application server that may have a problem.

For the case of fig. 7, the application manager no longer needs the page, and may return to the page shown in fig. 6 via the "back" button, or may directly close the page shown in fig. 7 via the "close" button. If the application manager does not need to look at the page shown in FIG. 7 on the page shown in FIG. 6, the page shown in FIG. 6 can also be closed directly by the "close" button on the page shown in FIG. 6.

The above-described display of the comparison results in the subarea and the subarea hierarchy is illustrated by using several colors, and the process can be understood by referring to fig. 8.

As shown in fig. 8, the correspondence between the comparison result and the display format may include:

101. and judging the comparison result of the partitions.

And if the comparison results of the subareas are consistent, the comparison results of the subareas are marked by green, the comparison results of the subareas under the subareas are also marked by green, and if the comparison results of the subareas are inconsistent, the comparison results of the subareas are marked by red.

102. And judging the comparison result of the subareas according to the abnormal condition of the subarea result.

If the comparison result of the sub-regions is consistent, the comparison result of the sub-regions is identified by green, and if the comparison result of the sub-regions is abnormal, step 103 is executed.

103. And judging the reason of abnormal comparison result of the subareas.

And if the reason of the abnormal comparison result of the subareas is that the subarea comparison result lacks the version number, yellow is used for marking the subarea comparison result lacking the version number.

And if the reason of the abnormal comparison result of the sub-regions is that the version numbers are inconsistent, marking the comparison result of the sub-regions with inconsistent version numbers by red.

In the above, the description of the comparison information display process with the application management system is described, and the following describes the comparison information display process in the embodiment of the present invention with reference to fig. 9.
