Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of printer monitoring, in particular to a printer fault monitoring management method.
Background
A Printer (Printer) is one of the output devices of a computer for printing the results of a computer process on an associated medium. The indexes for measuring the quality of the printer comprise three items, namely printing resolution, printing speed and noise. There are many types of printers, and an impact printer and a non-impact printer are classified according to whether or not a printing element strikes paper. Full-font character printers and dot matrix character printers are classified according to the character structure to be printed. A line printer is divided into a serial printer and a line printer in such a manner that a line character is formed on a paper. According to the adopted technology, the printer is divided into a cylindrical printer, a spherical printer, an ink-jet printer, a thermal printer, a laser printer, an electrostatic printer, a magnetic printer, a light-emitting diode printer and the like.
In a conventional printer monitoring scheme, a printer is monitored, and a driver of the printer needs to be installed on a certain server. If the printer monitoring server is to be transferred, only a dual-computer hot standby mode can be adopted, namely, a one-touch same-amount standby machine is prepared, and after the host computer fails, the standby machine is started through dual-computer hot standby software, so that the high availability of the printing monitoring service is realized. However, in the dual-server hot standby mode, the standby server is in a standby state for a long time, so that resources are wasted greatly, and particularly when a plurality of servers are needed to monitor hundreds of printers, each monitoring main server needs one standby server, which is a waste of server resources.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to a printer fault monitoring and management method to solve the problems set forth in the background art.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention provides the following technical scheme: a printer fault monitoring management method comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: registering all printing monitoring servers in a database;
step two: the printing monitoring server installs all printer drivers to be monitored;
step three: in the printing monitoring system, manually distributing printers monitored by each service;
step four: the printer monitoring service of the print server monitors the printer of the server and reports the health state of the printer in the database through the heartbeat thread;
step five: the monitoring service of the normal print server inquires the database, if a fault server is found, the monitoring right of the fault service monitoring printer is obtained through ticket robbing service;
step six: the normal print server is used as a standby machine of the fault server, and the monitoring of the printer of the fault server is started;
step seven: after the fault server is recovered to be normal, reporting the health state of the fault server in a database through heartbeat service, and recovering monitoring of the printer of the fault server;
step eight: and after the normal server finds that the normal server is no longer used as a standby machine of the fault server, the normal server removes the monitoring on the printer of the fault server.
In a preferred embodiment, the database in the first step is located in a main server, and the main server is in signal connection with each print server through a wireless communication module.
In a preferred embodiment, the wireless communication module is a 4G module or a WIFI module.
In a preferred embodiment, each of the print servers is provided with a print monitoring system, and the print monitoring system is configured to monitor an operating status of the printer and transmit detected data to a database in the main server for storage through the wireless communication module in real time.
In a preferred embodiment, the rule of ticket grabbing service in the fifth step is that a normal print server close to a faulty machine preferentially loads the faulty machine, and the faulty machine is monitored.
In a preferred embodiment, when a plurality of normal print servers are located at the same distance from the malfunctioning machine, the normal print server having the best connection signal with the malfunctioning machine is preferentially selected.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention realizes that two or more servers averagely monitor the printer to be monitored through an algorithm under the condition of not using dual-computer hot standby software, automatically distributes load after a certain server fails, and distributes the printer originally monitored by the failed server to other normally working servers for monitoring, thereby ensuring that all servers are in a working state, and the invention can also realize the fault transfer of the printer monitoring service without dual-computer hot standby software, thereby saving server resources.
