Description

Alarm method, device and equipment based on IDL log and readable medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of server management technologies, and in particular, to an IDL log-based alarm method, device, apparatus, and readable medium.

Background

A BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) is a Management Controller specific to a server, and one of main functions of the BMC is to automatically monitor an operation state of the server, which mainly includes a health state of each hardware. The BMC monitors the health state of each hardware, acquires the information of each hardware, is helpful for operation and maintenance personnel to know the running condition of the server in time, and ensures the normal running of the server.

SNMP (simple network management protocol) is a standard protocol specifically designed for managing network nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches, HUBS, etc.) in an IP network, which is an application layer protocol. SNMP enables a network administrator to manage network performance, discover and solve network problems, and plan network growth. And the network management system receives the random message and the event report through the SNMP to know that the network has problems. SNMP alarms typically transmit a SEL log.

Conventional servers typically have only SEL log based alerting methods. The generation of SEL logs is based on sensors in the BMC, and corresponding logs are generated only when the corresponding sensors are present. The SEL log depends on the sensor information of the BMC, and the BMC supports 255 sensors at most, so the SEL log supports 255 devices at most. SEL logging has fewer fault types and is strictly in accordance with IPMI Specification, so the fault type of each sensor is limited and cannot be expanded flexibly. Therefore, when the log transmitted by the SNMP alarm is the SEL log, the operation and maintenance personnel cannot conveniently judge the specific fault of the equipment when receiving the SNMP alarm information.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are used for distinguishing two entities with the same name but different names or different parameters, and it should be noted that "first" and "second" are merely for convenience of description and should not be construed as limitations of the embodiments of the present invention, and they are not described in any more detail in the following embodiments.

Based on the above purpose, a first aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an embodiment of an alarm method based on an IDL log. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of an IDL log-based alarm method according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps performed in the BMC:

s1, responding to the detected fault, acquiring the position of the fault and checking a corresponding register;

s2, analyzing the fault reason according to the register, and judging the fault level;

s3, generating an IDL log based on the fault, the fault reason and the fault level;

s4, judging whether an alarm is needed according to the IDL log; and

and S5, responding to the alarm, and sending the IDL log to a remote operation and maintenance server.

In some embodiments of the invention, SNMP (simple network management protocol) is a standard protocol specifically designed for managing network nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches, HUBS, etc.) in an IP network, which is an application layer protocol. SNMP enables a network administrator to manage network performance, discover and solve network problems, and plan network growth. And the network management system receives the random message and the event report through the SNMP to know that the network has problems.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when an abnormal condition occurs during the operation of the BMC, the device generating the abnormal condition and the specific fault type are analyzed and analyzed, where the device type may be other than the device type defined by the IPMI Specification, such as a custom device type. For example, when an FRU alarm is generated, the device type in the SEL log has no FRU, so the FUR alarm cannot be recorded and analyzed by the SEL log, but the IDL log can analyze and record the FRU alarm.

In some embodiments of the present invention, a process related to SNMP alarms is created during the operation of the BMC, and relevant fault alarm information, such as fault alarm level, alarm device type, alarm level, etc., is configured. When the BMC detects that the BMC is restarted, if a corresponding BMC restart recording sensor does not exist in the BMC, the BMC cannot generate a SEL log for recording the BMC restart, the BMC checks a specific register at the moment, analyzes the reasons of the BMC restart, for example, sends an IPMI command, or causes such as watchdog timeout or AC power failure to cause a hard reset of the BMC, and generates an IDL log according to the specific reasons and the type of a fault device. When the remote operation and maintenance server receives the IDL log, the specific reason of the fault can be analyzed through the IDL log, and equipment maintenance and the like are carried out according to the specific reason.

In some embodiments of the invention, in response to detecting the fault, obtaining the location of the fault and viewing the corresponding register further comprises: generating a SEL log based on a status sensor in response to detecting the fault; the corresponding register is viewed based on the SEL log. When the BMC detects that the BMC is restarted, an SEL log related to the BMC restart is generated, but the SEL log can record that the reasons of the BMC restart are few, only can distinguish whether the BMC restart is a cold reset or a warm reset, and cannot record the specific reasons of the cold reset or the warm reset. When the BMC detects that the SEL log of the BMC restart is recorded, a specific register is checked based on the SEL log, the specific reason of the BMC restart is analyzed, for example, the hard reset of the BMC is caused by sending an IPMI command, or watchdog timeout, AC power failure and the like, and the IDL log is generated according to the specific reason and the type of the fault equipment. When the remote operation and maintenance server receives the IDL log, the specific reason of the fault can be analyzed through the IDL log, and equipment maintenance and the like are carried out according to the specific reason.

In some embodiments of the invention, further comprising: creating an alarm process based on the alarm fault information, and configuring the alarm process into an on or off alarm state based on a preset alarm level; and responding to the alarm state which is configured to be started by the alarm process, receiving the IDL log and further judging whether the alarm needs to be sent. And in the operation process of the BMC, an SNMP alarm process is established, relevant alarm information is configured, such as an on or off alarm state, an alarm level, an alarm equipment type, an alarm reason and the like, and when the information recorded in the IDL log is consistent with the alarm information, the alarm process judges that alarm is needed and sends the alarm information to a remote operation and maintenance server.

In some embodiments of the present invention, determining whether an alarm is needed according to the IDL log further comprises: responding to the alarm process configuration to start an alarm state, receiving an IDL log by the alarm process, and judging whether the recording parameters in the IDL log are consistent with the alarm fault information in the alarm process; and determining that the alarm needs to be sent in response to the fact that the recording parameters in the IDL log are consistent with the alarm fault information in the alarm process. And when the information recorded in the IDL log received by the alarm thread is consistent with the alarm information, the alarm process judges that alarm is needed, and sends the alarm information to the remote operation and maintenance server.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the alarm fault information includes a fault alarm cause, an alarm device type, and a fault alarm level. For example, the IDL log record server is booted in which way, such as by IPMI command or by pressing a button.

In some embodiments of the invention, generating the IDL log based on the fault, the cause of the fault, and the level of the fault further comprises: the IDL log is recorded into a history log directory. The IDL logs in the log directory can be used as a reference for fault analysis historically, the IDL logs exceeding the number of sensors can be recorded, and the IDL logs are not limited by the number of sensors and the types of the sensors.

In some embodiments of the invention, further comprising: in response to not requiring an alarm, the IDL log is discarded. And the alarm thread judges that no alarm is needed, discards the IDL log and waits for receiving the next IDL log.

It should be particularly noted that, the steps in the embodiments of the warning method based on the IDL log can be mutually intersected, replaced, added, and deleted, so that these reasonable permutation and combination transformations for the warning method based on the IDL log also belong to the scope of the present invention, and should not limit the scope of the present invention to the embodiments.
