Background

A cmdb (configuration Management database) is a set of logical databases for enterprise IT to record, manage and maintain various configuration items, life cycles and association relations inside the enterprise. Most of traditional CMDB databases can only record hardware information, such as servers, network equipment, firewalls, storage information and the like, and the upgraded CMDB can also record information of middleware, databases and the like, and manually establishes contact through the combination of the software and hardware information to realize a service TOPO topological graph.

With the coming of the cloud era in recent years, the micro-service architecture falls to the ground due to the container technology, the current IT architecture is more and more complex, and the development is faster and the change is faster in the future; the traditional CMDB can not meet the requirements of IT architecture, and if the CMDB is required to be upgraded every time a new technology comes out, the following problems can be caused:

1. the cost is high, the traditional CMDB can be customized and developed to classify the managed configuration items and add new configuration items, and the process usually takes a long time and much labor input;

2. if the method can not keep pace with the era forever, if the quick response cannot be realized, the new era comes when a new configuration item of the IT framework is upgraded, and the CMDB can only keep pace with the development of the era forever and cannot make progress with the era;

3. the relation is difficult to be combed, the relation is cloud-based, the relation between the hardware and the hardware is not simply direct connection after containerization, the service systems are operated on the cloud, the relation between the hardware and the service systems is difficult to be determined, and the traditional CMDB relation management cannot meet the requirements.

Therefore, a simple and easy-to-operate method for classifying chronological extensions and automatically establishing relationships of CMDB configurations is needed to solve the problems.

Example (b):

referring to fig. 1-4, the present invention provides a method for expanding CMDB configuration classes as needed and automatically establishing relationships, comprising the following steps:

the method for expanding CMDB configuration classification as required and automatically establishing the relationship comprises the following steps:

step S1, the CMDB provides a model management function for the user, adjusts the data model according to the user' S own requirements, carries out the self-establishment of the model, adds the attributes in the CMDB, and carries out the self-establishment classification, the attribute classification and the attribute definition, which concretely comprises the following steps:

step S11, adjusting a system data model according to the self demand of a user, dividing the data model into a picture data model and a tree structure data model, wherein the picture data model is used for displaying the pictures of corresponding classification, the picture data model directly displays the pictures of corresponding classification, each classification in the tree structure data model can create sub-classifications without hierarchical limitation, meanwhile, attributes and attribute sub-classifications can be created under each classification, and the attributes are divided through attribute classification;

and step S12, creating classification according to the data model in the step S11, classifying the classification into different data models, classifying the classification according to whether the attribute of the attribute classification is the shared classification when the classification is performed, entering the step S22 when the attribute is the shared attribute classification, and entering the step S23 when the attribute does not belong to the shared attribute classification.

The CMDB classification researched from the client is combed with the attributes, more than 60% of the attributes commonly owned by the child classification are configured on the parent classification, so that the child classification inherits the attributes, and the classifications can be set not to be displayed for the child classification without the attributes.

Step S2, obtaining the sub-classification through step S1, judging whether the obtained sub-classification is the shared classification attribute in the CMDB, all the sub-classifications inherit the attribute classification and the attribute definition on the parent classification, including the following steps:

step S21, in the system data model, directly defining the attribute, defining the attribute as CI (Configinformation), selecting the attribute classification corresponding to the CI, and when the CI is newly added, automatically establishing the relationship between the selected CI and the newly added CI after the CI selects other CI in the corresponding attribute classification;

and step S22, according to the classification created in the step S12 and the attribute classification in the step S21, all the child classifications directly inherit all the attribute classifications and attributes on the parent classification, and determine classification operation, wherein when the classification inherits all the attribute classifications of the parent classification, only the related attributes can be inherited, and deletion operation cannot be carried out, and meanwhile, when the child classification inherits, only a few attributes of the parent classification have modification authority, including attribute alias, whether to fill in, whether to display or not, and whether to edit.

Step S23, adding new attribute classification directly on the sub-classification corresponding to the attribute;

step S3, obtaining the fixed classification or classification attribute through step S2, adding CODE to the fixed classification or classification attribute according to the user' S own requirement, transmitting the configured CODE to the interface, and returning the corresponding classification or attribute, including the following steps:

step S32, determining whether the attribute or the attribute classification obtained in step S31 has a child classification, where the child classification inherits the CODE of the attribute of the parent classification, and includes:

step S322, the obtained attributes or attribute classifications have no sub-classifications, and the process directly enters step S33;

The classification and the attribute are self-established by a user, when a program needs to acquire a certain specific classification or attribute, the classification or attribute cannot be directly acquired, at this time, a CODE agreed with the program needs to be configured for the classification or attribute, and after the CODE is configured on the correct classification or attribute, the program can directly acquire the required classification or attribute through the CODE of the classification or attribute.

Step S4, when the sub-classification is modified, the modified information is synchronously updated to the attributes corresponding to all the sub-classifications through the fixed CODE attribute, and the modified information is automatically bound through the relationship to form a service TOPO topological graph, which includes the following steps:

step S42, automatically binding the current attribute and the selected attribute through the CI in the step S21, combining different attribute classifications to form a service TOPO topological graph, wherein in the service TOPO topological graph, the direct relationship is taken as the main relationship, and the relationship is combed through the attribute and the attribute classification to complete the configuration of the CMDB;

taking the direct relation as a main relation, establishing the direct relation as 1: n, for example, a virtual machine and an entity machine, because there are multiple virtual machines on one entity machine, an attribute, called an attached entity machine, may be set on the virtual machine during the carding, and in this attribute, the entity machine to which the virtual machine is attached is filled, and the configuration may be completed; for example, a physical machine and a switch, there are multiple physical machines connected with it, so when the relationship is combed, an attribute called a connection network device can be set on the physical machine, and in this attribute, the network device connected with the physical machine is filled in, and the setting can be completed, and so on, a service TOPO topological diagram is formed, and the configuration of the CMDB is realized.
