Detailed Description

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. All other embodiments, which can be derived from the embodiments given herein by one of ordinary skill in the art, are within the scope of the invention.

In the prior art, there is a problem that the data size of configuration data to be acquired and processed in the process of performing digital twin processing is high, which results in low efficiency of digital twin processing.

The embodiment of the invention provides a virtual device updating method, which is applied to monitoring devices, wherein the monitoring devices comprise virtual devices which are constructed by adopting a digital twin technology based on target configuration data and are used for reflecting the configuration condition of real devices, and the method comprises the following steps:

acquiring an operation log generated by real equipment in real time, wherein the operation log is as follows: the real device executes an operation on the configuration data, and the operation log records: operation data representing the above-described operation on the configuration data;

updating the recorded target configuration data based on the comparison result and the target operation data;

As can be seen from the above, if an operation on configuration data is performed during the operation of a real device, an operation log is generated, which includes operation data representing the operation on the configuration data, and the execution of the operation may cause a change in the configuration data of the real device, so that the operation data may represent the change in the configuration data of the real device. Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the change condition of the configuration data of the real equipment can be determined through the operation log, so that the recorded target configuration data can be updated. And the operation log generated by the real equipment is acquired in real time, the target configuration data is continuously updated based on the operation log, the updated target configuration data can be matched with the actual configuration condition of the real equipment, the virtual equipment is updated based on the updated target configuration data, and the configuration condition of the virtual equipment and the configuration condition of the real equipment can be kept synchronous.

Furthermore, the operation log obtained in this embodiment only includes operation data, and the operation data only represents processing performed by the real device with respect to the configuration data, that is, only includes changed incremental configuration data, and does not include other configuration data that has not changed. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can reduce the data quantity of the configuration data which needs to be acquired and processed in the process of carrying out digital twin processing, thereby meeting the real-time requirement of the virtual equipment constructed based on the digital twin technology.

First, an execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is described, where the execution subject of the embodiment is a monitoring device, and is used to perform digital twin processing and construct a virtual device corresponding to a real device. The monitoring device comprises a virtual device which is constructed based on target configuration data by adopting a digital twin technology and is used for reflecting the configuration condition of the real device, and the initial virtual device can be constructed based on the full configuration data after the monitoring device collects the full configuration data of the real device, or constructed based on the configuration data preset by a user. After the virtual device is constructed, the virtual device can be updated by the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention. The monitoring device can be a server, a computer and other various devices with computing power. The virtual device may be constructed based on the existing digital twin technology, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic flowchart of a first virtual device updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the method includes the following steps S101 to S104.

S101: and acquiring an operation log generated by the real equipment in real time.

Wherein, the operation log is: the real device executes an operation on the configuration data, and the operation log records: operation data representing the above-described operations on the configuration data.

Specifically, the number of the real devices may be one or more. Each operation log records: operation data indicating an operation performed by the real device with respect to the configuration data in a target time zone, the target time zone being: the real device generates a time period between the time of generating the preamble operation log and the time of generating the operation log, where the preamble operation log is: and according to the generation sequence of each operation log, the operation logs adjacent to the operation log preamble.

Specifically, in the operation process of the real device, if the configuration data of the real device changes due to the operation of the real device by the user or another device, the real device may generate an operation log to record the change, and the operation data recorded in each operation log generated by the real device indicates the time from the time of last generation of the operation log to the time of this generation of the operation log, and the operation performed on the real device by the user or another device may also indicate the change condition of the real device.

For example, if the real device is a network element device such as a routing device, a base station, an exchange, and the like, a user or another device may input an operation instruction for configuration data such as an IP address, a port number, and the like to the real device, so as to indicate operations such as updating, deleting, querying, adding, and the like of the configuration data, and if the user inputs the operation instruction to indicate a port number of a port newly added to the real device, the network element device may generate an operation log to indicate that the real device performs an operation of adding the port number. For another example, if the real device is a computer, and a user or another device may input an operation instruction to query the CPU information of the computer, the computer may generate an operation log to indicate that the real device performs an operation of querying the CPU information.

Specifically, the operation data may include data object information, data content information, and data operation information, where the data object information is used to indicate an operated data object, the data content information is a value of a data object before operation and/or a value of a data object after operation, and the data operation information is used to indicate a type of an operation performed on configuration data by a real device, and the type includes types of modification, deletion, addition, query, and locking.

For example, if the real device is a network element device, and the network element device updates an IP address, the data object information is used to indicate the IP address, and the data content information is: and the data operation information is used for indicating the type of the updating operation.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the real device may be preset, so that after the real device generates the operation log, the generated operation log is actively sent to the monitoring device, instead of sending the full configuration data, so that the real device can obtain the operation log in real time.

The real device can be preset manually by a user, the monitoring device can also send an operation log reporting instruction to the real device, and the real device generates an operation log each time after receiving the operation log reporting instruction and then sends the operation log to the monitoring device.

Specifically, the real device may send the operation log to the monitoring device based on a syslog (system log) mode, an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) mode, or the like.

Or, the monitoring device may also periodically access the real device according to a preset acquisition period, query whether the real device generates a new operation log in a last preset acquisition period, and acquire the operation log if it is determined that the real device generates the new operation log.

In the execution process of the embodiment of the present invention, if the monitoring device does not receive the operation log sent by the real device within the preset time duration, the real device may be accessed to query whether the real device generates a new operation log, and if it is determined that the real device generates a new operation log, the operation log may be obtained.

S102: and extracting target operation data recorded in the operation log after the operation log of the real equipment is acquired each time.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the operation log may be traversed, and the target operation data may be extracted from the operation log. The target operation data may be all or part of data included in the operation log, and the part of data may be data of a part of preset data objects in the operation log. For example, the real device may be a computer, the preset data object may be memory information, the real device may be a network element device, and the preset data object may be an IP address.

Specifically, the target operation data may be extracted from the operation log based on the operation data extraction template. The target operation data can be extracted based on a regular expression matching mode or other matching modes.

The operation data extraction templates corresponding to different real devices are different because the formats of the recorded operation data in the operation logs generated by different real devices are often different. The operation data extraction template may record a separation character for separating each piece of data in the operation log, so as to instruct the monitoring device to extract each piece of data based on the separation character in the process of traversing the operation log. For example, the separator characters may be "/", "and the like.

The operation data extraction template may also record a preset data object corresponding to the target operation data, and the monitoring device may extract data related to the preset data object from the operation log based on the operation data extraction template, as the target operation data.

For example, if the separation character recorded in the operation log generated by the real device is "/", the operation data extraction template may instruct the monitoring device of this embodiment to traverse the operation log, and extract data between every two characters "/", which are respectively used as each piece of data.

In addition, if the real device is a network element device and the preset data object recorded in the operation data extraction template is an IP address, data related to the IP address can be extracted from the operation log based on the operation data extraction template to serve as target operation data.

In an embodiment of the present invention, no matter which real device generates the operation log, the target operation data can be extracted based on the operation data extraction template by traversing the operation log, and the process of extracting the target operation data is similar, and the difference is that the operation data extraction template used is different. Therefore, the working personnel only need to write a set of unified codes and set different operation data extraction templates for different real devices, when the target operation data is extracted, the unified codes are called, and the different operation data extraction templates are configured and loaded, so that the target operation data extraction of different real devices can be realized, the codes for extracting the target operation data can be flexibly multiplexed in different real devices, and the flexible configuration of the target operation data extraction process is realized.

S103: and comparing the target operation data with the recorded target configuration data of the real equipment.

The target configuration data is used for constructing virtual equipment corresponding to the real equipment. The target configuration data may be preset configuration data, may also be obtained by continuously updating stored configuration data based on each acquired operation log, and may also be full configuration data that is acquired and stored by the monitoring device from the real device and represents a current configuration condition of the real device.

Specifically, the monitoring device in the embodiment of the present invention may execute steps S102 to S104 each time the monitoring device acquires the operation log generated by the real device, update the target configuration data based on the target operation data recorded in the operation log, and update the virtual device. Since the target configuration data always matches the configuration data change situation of the real device represented by the operation log generated by the real device, it can be considered that the target configuration data can represent the configuration situation of the real device.

In addition, the target configuration data may be stored in a database.

In an embodiment of the present invention, each piece of data in the target operation data may traverse the target configuration data, and directly compare the piece of data with each piece of data included in the target configuration data, so as to determine whether the target configuration data includes data that is the same as the piece of data, and if the comparison result is that the target configuration data does not include the data, it indicates that the configuration data of the real device has changed, and step S104 needs to be executed to update the target configuration data.

Otherwise, if the comparison result is that the target configuration data includes the piece of data, it indicates that the operation performed by the real device does not change the configuration condition of the real device, for example, the operation may be an operation that does not affect the value of the configuration data, such as query data and lock data. The piece of data is the same as the data contained in the target configuration data and no update is required to the target configuration data.

Specifically, the step S103 can be implemented by the step S103A shown in fig. 3 below, and will not be described in detail here.

S104: and updating the recorded target configuration data based on the comparison result and the target operation data, and updating the constructed virtual equipment based on the updated target configuration data.

Specifically, for each piece of data in the target operation data, if the comparison result indicates that the piece of data is not included in the target operation data, it indicates that the piece of data is newly added to the real device, and the piece of data may be added to the target configuration data.

If the comparison result indicates that the target configuration data includes data that corresponds to the same data object but has a different value from the data object, the data is changed configuration data in real equipment, and the value of the data of the same data object corresponding to the data object included in the target configuration data can be updated to the value of the data.

If the target operation data indicates that the configuration data corresponding to the partial data object is deleted, the data corresponding to the data object is deleted from the target configuration data.

Furthermore, when the target configuration data is stored in the database, data to be added to the target configuration data in the target operation data may be written into the newly added warehousing queue, and then the monitoring device may write the data in the newly added warehousing queue into the database as the target configuration data.

In addition, the data to be deleted from the target configuration data in the target operation data may be written into the deletion warehousing queue, and the monitoring device may delete the data matched with the data included in the deletion warehousing queue in the database, that is, delete the data from the target configuration data.

Furthermore, the data used for updating the target configuration data in the target operation data may be written into the modification warehousing queue, and the monitoring device may modify the data stored in the database based on the data included in the modification warehousing queue, that is, modify the target configuration data.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the target operation data and the target configuration data may be compared based on a data comparison model, where the data comparison model is a specific implementation of a comparison manner between the target operation data and the target configuration data.

In another embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the above step S103 is implemented by the step S103A shown in fig. 3, the above step S104 can be implemented by the steps S104A-S104C shown in fig. 3.

In addition, the established virtual device may be updated in a manner included in the existing digital twin technology, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

As can be seen from the above, if an operation on the configuration data is executed during the operation of the real device, an operation log is generated, which includes operation data representing the operation on the configuration data, and the execution of the operation may cause a change in the configuration data of the real device, so that the operation data may represent the change in the configuration data of the real device. Therefore, the change condition of the real equipment configuration data can be determined through the operation log in the embodiment of the invention, so that the recorded target configuration data can be updated. And the operation log generated by the real equipment is acquired in real time, the target configuration data is continuously updated based on the operation log, the updated target configuration data can be matched with the actual configuration condition of the real equipment, the virtual equipment is updated based on the updated target configuration data, and the configuration condition of the virtual equipment and the configuration condition of the real equipment can be kept synchronous.

Furthermore, the operation log obtained in the present embodiment only includes operation data, and the operation data only represents processing performed by the real device with respect to the configuration data, that is, only represents a change situation of the configuration data of the real device, and does not include other configuration data that has not changed. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can reduce the data volume of the configuration data which needs to be acquired and processed in the process of digital twin processing, thereby meeting the real-time requirement of the virtual equipment constructed based on the digital twin technology.

In an embodiment of the present invention, although the real device executes the operation, but the operation may fail, that is, the operation does not change the real device, the real device may also generate an operation log for the failed operation, but the operation log may not be processed in this embodiment.

Specifically, operation result information indicating an operation result may be recorded in the operation log, and if it is determined that the operation result information indicates that the operation has failed after the operation result information included in the operation log is read, the subsequent steps S102 to S104 are not executed again.

In addition, in the process of executing the embodiment of the present invention, failures such as failure in obtaining the operation log, failure in extracting the target operation data, and error in data recorded in the operation log may occur, so that the target configuration data maintained by the embodiment of the present invention is different from the current actual configuration data of the real device. Then, after the virtual device is updated based on the target configuration data, the obtained updated virtual device cannot reflect the configuration condition of the real device. If the fault is not solved, the target configuration data is continuously updated based on the incremental configuration data contained in the operation log, so that the problem of fault accumulation is caused. For this reason, the embodiment of the present invention can be prevented from malfunctioning by the embodiment shown in fig. 2.

Referring to fig. 2, a schematic flow chart of a second virtual device updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes the following steps S105 to S107, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 1.

S105: and acquiring full configuration data representing the current configuration condition of the real equipment according to a preset period.

Specifically, the total configuration data includes all configuration data of the real device, and may be considered as real-time accurate configuration data of the real device. Compared with the operation log, the data size of the full configuration data is larger, and the occurrence frequency of faults is often lower, so that the preset period can be set to a larger value to reduce the frequency of acquiring the full configuration data by the monitoring equipment. For example, the preset period may be 1 day, 2 days, etc.

The monitoring device may send a full virtual device update request to the real device to request the real device to send the full configuration data to the monitoring device. Or, the real device may be configured to actively send the full configuration data of the real device to the monitoring device according to a preset period, so that the monitoring device obtains the full configuration data.

S106: and after acquiring the full configuration data every time, comparing the full configuration data with the recorded target configuration data.

Specifically, the manner of comparing the full configuration data with the target configuration data is similar to the aforementioned step S103, and is not repeated here.

S107: and updating the recorded target configuration data based on the comparison result and the full configuration data, and updating the constructed virtual equipment based on the updated target configuration data.

Specifically, the method for updating the target configuration data is similar to the aforementioned step S104, and is not repeated here.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the full configuration data of the real device is acquired according to the preset period, the full configuration data is accurate data capable of reflecting the current configuration situation of the real device, the target configuration data is updated based on the full configuration data, so that the target configuration data can reflect the current configuration situation of the real device, and then the virtual device is updated based on the target configuration data, so that the virtual device can be matched with the real device. Therefore, when the virtual equipment is updated based on the incremental data contained in the operation log and has faults, the faults are prevented from being accumulated, and the target configuration data can be matched with the current configuration situation of the real equipment.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a third virtual device updating method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is shown, and compared with the foregoing embodiment shown in fig. 1, the foregoing step S103 may be implemented by the following step S103A, and the foregoing step S104 may be implemented by the following steps S104A-S104C.

S103A: and comparing the target operation data with the recorded target configuration data of the real equipment based on the first data identification and the second data identification.

Wherein, the first data identifier is: the data identifier of each piece of data in the target operation data, where the second data identifier is: and data identification of each piece of data contained in the target configuration data.

Specifically, the first data identifier may be a set of partial data items in each piece of data included in the target operation data, and the first data identifiers of different pieces of data in the target operation data are different. The second data identifier may be a set of partial data items in each piece of data included in the target configuration data, where the partial data items are the same as the data items that are the first data identifiers, and the second data identifiers of different pieces of data in the target configuration data are different.

In order to keep the target configuration data and the target operation data synchronized, the set of second data identifiers corresponding to each piece of data in the updated target configuration data should include all the first data identifiers, and if the second data identifiers corresponding to the data in the target configuration data are the same as the first data identifiers corresponding to the data in the target operation data, values of the two pieces of data should also be the same. That is, if the above situation is not satisfied, the target configuration data needs to be updated based on the target operation data.

For example, the first data identifier may be a set of data object information and data operation information in each piece of data in the target operation data, and the second data identifier is also a set of data object information and data operation information in each piece of data in the target configuration data.

In an embodiment of the present invention, for each piece of data in the target operation data, based on the first data identifier of the data, the data whose corresponding second data identifier is the first data identifier may be searched from the target configuration data, and whether the searched data is the same as the data in the entry target operation data is compared.

S104A: and if the comparison result shows that the third data identifier exists, recording data in the target operation data corresponding to the third data identifier in the target configuration data, and updating the constructed virtual equipment based on the updated target configuration data.

Wherein the third data identifier is: and a data identifier included in the first data identifier and not included in the second data identifier.

Specifically, if there is a third data identifier, which indicates that the target operation data includes data corresponding to the third data identifier, but the target configuration data does not include the data, that is, the data needs to be added to the target configuration data, the data in the target operation data corresponding to the third data identifier may be recorded in the target configuration data as a part of the target configuration data.

S104B: and if the comparison result shows that the first data in the target operation data is different from the second data in the target configuration data, updating the second data contained in the target configuration data into the first data, and updating the constructed virtual equipment based on the updated target configuration data.

And the first data identifier corresponding to the first data is the same as the second data identifier corresponding to the second data.

Specifically, since the first data identifier corresponding to the first data is the same as the second data identifier corresponding to the second data, theoretically, the second data in the target configuration data is the same as the first data in the target operation data, so that the target configuration data and the target operation data can be kept synchronous. However, in the case that the first data is different from the second data, the second data needs to be updated to the first data, so that the target configuration data and the change situation of the real-world device, which is kept represented by the operation log obtained in real time, are kept synchronous.

S104C: and if the target operation data indicates that the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier is deleted from the real device, deleting the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier from the target configuration data, and updating the constructed virtual device based on the updated target configuration data.

Specifically, if the data operation information in the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier included in the target operation data indicates deletion of the data, it may be determined that the target operation data indicates deletion of the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier in the real device. That is, the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier in the real-world device is deleted in the target time period, and in order to keep the target configuration data synchronized with the target operation data, the data corresponding to the fourth data identifier needs to be deleted in the target configuration data.

As can be seen from the above, in order to keep the target configuration data and the target operation data synchronized, if the first data identifier is the same as the second data identifier, the data included in the target operation data corresponding to the first data identifier and the data included in the target configuration data corresponding to the second data identifier should be the same. If the two are different, it may be determined that the target configuration data needs to be updated, and therefore, based on the embodiment, the target configuration data may be updated based on the first data identifier and the second data identifier.

Referring to fig. 4A, a schematic flow chart of a fourth virtual device updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes, before the step S103, the following step S108, compared with the embodiment shown in fig. 1.

S108: and converting the target operation data into a uniform preset format.

Specifically, because the operation logs generated by different real devices have different formats and the formats of the target operation data extracted from the operation logs are also different, in the case that a plurality of real devices exist, the monitoring device needs to store the target configuration data of the plurality of real devices, and the target configuration data corresponding to different real devices are obtained based on the target operation data of the different real devices, so that the formats of the target configuration data corresponding to different real devices are different, and the pressure of the monitoring device in the data processing process of storing and managing the target configuration data of various different formats is large.

For this purpose, the target operation data may be converted into a unified preset format, where the target operation data may include multiple different data such as data object information, data operation information, and data content, and the preset format may be a format of one or more data therein, that is, format conversion may be performed on one or more data in the target operation data.

In an embodiment of the present invention, format conversion of the target operation data may be performed based on a format conversion model, where the format conversion model is a specific implementation of a format conversion manner, and specifically, the format conversion model may determine, based on a matching tree algorithm or other matching algorithms, data that matches the target operation data that has not undergone format conversion, and use the data as the target operation data after format conversion.

Specifically, in the case where the target operation data includes data operation information, the step S108 may be implemented by the following step a.

The data operation information indicates: the categories of operations performed by the real world devices described above.

Step A: and converting the data operation information into data adjustment information in a preset format based on a preset conversion relation.

Wherein the data adjustment information indicates: the preset conversion mode includes at least one of the following modes (a) - (five).

The method (one): and converting the new operation information into new data information.

Wherein the new operation information indicates: newly adding configuration data in the real device, wherein the information of the newly added data indicates: and adding new data in the target configuration data.

Specifically, since the new operation information indicates new configuration data in the real device, new data needs to be added to the target configuration data in order to keep the recorded target configuration data matched with the actual configuration data of the real device, and thus, the new operation information can be converted into new data information.

The second mode: and converting the deletion operation information into deletion data information or modification data information.

Wherein the deletion operation information indicates: deleting configuration information in the real device, the deletion data information indicating: deleting data in the target configuration data, wherein the modification data information indicates: and modifying the target configuration data.

Specifically, since the deletion operation information indicates deletion of configuration data in the real device, in order to keep the recorded target configuration data matched with the actual configuration data of the real device, it is necessary to delete the data in the target configuration data or modify the data to a null value or the like, and therefore, the deletion operation information may be converted into deletion data information or modification data information.

Mode (iii): and converting the updating operation information into modified data information.

Wherein the update operation information indicates: updating the configuration data in the real world device.

Specifically, since the update operation information indicates that the configuration data in the real device is updated, the target configuration data needs to be modified correspondingly in order to keep the recorded target configuration data matched with the actual configuration data of the real device, and therefore, the update operation information can be converted into modified data information.

Mode (iv): the locking operation information is converted into holding data information.

Wherein the locking operation information indicates: restricting modification of configuration data in the real world device, the retention data information indicating: the target configuration data is not adjusted.

Specifically, the limitation on the modification of the configuration data is to limit the user and other data from operating the configuration data in the real device, and since only the operation on the configuration data of the real device is limited and the configuration data of the real device itself does not change, it is not necessary to adjust the recorded target configuration data accordingly, so that the locking operation information can be converted into the holding data information.

Mode (v): and converting the query operation information into the holding data information.

Wherein the query operation information indicates: and inquiring configuration data in the real equipment.

Specifically, in the process of querying configuration data in real equipment, the configuration data of the real equipment does not change, so that the recorded target configuration data does not need to be adjusted correspondingly, and query operation information can be converted into data holding information.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, before comparing the target operation data with the target configuration data, the target operation data may be converted into a uniform preset format, so that format differences of the target operation data generated by different real devices may be eliminated, formats of the target configuration data are kept uniform, and the monitoring device is convenient to use and manage the target configuration data.
