Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of main frame real time monitoring apparatus and method for supervising thereof, particularly relate to a kind of be applicable to main frame real time monitoring apparatus and method for supervising thereof long-range or near-end one of monitoring in real time or several computer host system states.
Background technology
In complicated now network environment, the management of network system is not a pipe course.Generally speaking, the modern design of computer server main frame on hardware and software is all considerably complicated, also therefore makes the supvr be difficult to learn in real time the system state or the operation situation of whole computer server main frame.Particularly when the computer server main frame makes a mistake, the supvr need have one easily instrument so that monitor, control, safeguard or handle computer server main frame action problem miscellaneous.The instrument of this class is even more important for the distributed computer environment of widely using now, because the supvr may need by a plurality of computer server main frames of network telemanagement simultaneously.Yet when network connections went wrong, the supvr just can't need the computer server main frame of telemanagement to manage to all.For example, in each computer server main frame many system status parameters are arranged, for example the processor of computer server main frame (CPU) temperature, network on-line speed, the network on-line volume of transmitted data, date, time, the capacity of storer (Memory), the use amount of storer (Memory), disc driver (Disk) use amount, disc driver (Disk) capacity, processor (CPU) radiating fan rotation speed, computer server main frame machine shell radiating fan rotation speed, computer server host machine casing internal and external temperature, the use amount of processor (CPU), the size of voltage, user's number of the account, user's password, number of internet communication protocol address (InternetProtocol address) or network on-line user or the like.These system status parameters are very important to the running of computer server main frame, may cause irreparable damage if can't monitor in real time and control then.
For addressing the above problem, existing at present following two kinds of technology are employed.Below do a summary respectively:
(1) led lighting bulb: nearly all main frame, no matter whether as server, the capital is equipped with several led lighting bulbs on the panel of computer host machine casing, changes to represent the system state of this main frame with the permutation and combination by bulb color or light and shade.Yet such design can only show considerably less system status information, and for designing complicated computer server main frame, the method for there is no demonstrates all system status informations.
(2) LCD of type mode or electro-exciting light-emitting display: this kind design has been widely used in industrial computer and the various electric equipment at present.Though the LCD of type mode or electro-exciting light-emitting display are more suitable and can change more system status information to show than the mode of led lighting bulb, such design still has its shortcoming and restriction to exist.For example, the LCD of type mode or electro-exciting light-emitting display can only display texts, therefore also can only change the system status information of limited quantity.For example, voltage level change is quite important for main frame (comprising server) for a long time, as the system status information of this class and be not suitable for showing with string number, so the LCD of type mode or electro-exciting light-emitting display need be observed information such as intensity of variation that its system status parameters statistics (for example: maximal value, minimum value or mean value etc.), system status parameters supervise at any time or change curve its blind spot place is arranged for some.In addition, the main frame monitoring device of this type all is connected to the computer server main frame by RS-232 interface, complicated and must transmit for the computer server main frame of bulk information for design, can't be fast and in real time information is sent to the main frame monitoring device and shows.
In addition, the system state of known technology disclosure with approach sensor monitoring calculation machine host also arranged.See also Fig. 1, it is a known main frame monitoring device structural representation.As shown in Figure 1, this main frame monitoring device comprises: a casing 10, a first sensor 11, one second sensor 12, one the 3rd sensor 13, a controller 14 and a display 15.Wherein, first sensor 11 is a temperature sensor, and it (for example: processor (CPU)), to send one first sensing signal according to the temperature variation of heat generating component 16 can be attached at heat generating component 16.In addition, 12 of second sensors are a speed probe, and it can be electrically connected on the fan 17 of computing machine, and according to curtage change and fan 17 rotation speed change in the detection computations machine to send one second monitor signal.In addition, the 3rd sensor 13 is a system works sensor, and it is connected to the RS-232 interface of a motherboard 18, in order to the duty of sensing motherboard 18, and changes according to working state of system and to send one the 3rd sensing signal.Moreover, controller 14 is arranged in the casing 10, and be connected to first sensor 11, second sensor 12 and the 3rd sensor 13, and send first, second in response to the first sensing signal, the second sensing signal and the 3rd sensing signal respectively and the 3rd shows signal shows with type mode to this display 15.
By above narration as can be known, traditional main frame monitoring device has following shortcoming:
(1) traditional main frame monitoring device can only show limited quantity Calculation machine host system status information.
(2) traditional main frame monitoring device uses the slower RS-232 interface of transmission speed to be connected with main frame, therefore not only all system status parameters can't be learnt fast to the complicated computer server main frame of design, and single main frame can only be monitored.
(3) because the design of computer server main frame is complicated day by day, the indoor design of every kind of type is also different, therefore relatively poor as if carry out its versatility in the mode of setting up sensor, and old main frame monitoring device is matched with new-type computer server main frame, cause the restriction in the use.
(4) system state that the legacy hosts monitoring device can only the monitoring computer server host, and can't import any system status parameters or system status parameters threshold value system state with control or supervisory computer server host.
(5) the legacy hosts monitoring device can't be in the system state of one of remote real-time monitoring or several computer server main frames, therefore when the System Operation generation problem of a certain computer server main frame, owing to can't learn the system status parameters that this computer server main frame is all in real time, therefore this computer server host computer system must be detected one by one, can obtain these system status parameters, and then find out the place of this computer server main frame problem, certainly will cause many manpowers and waste of time thus.In addition, the legacy hosts monitoring device can only the display server computing machine the part system status parameters and the ability of control voluntarily not, when computer server main frame generation problem, the main frame monitoring device can't be controlled and queueing problem automatically, and then causes the bigger infringement in this computer server host computer system inside or other irreparable damage of deriving.
Therefore, how to research and develop a kind of above-mentioned known technology defective of improving, and can be in real time in main frame real time monitoring apparatus and method for supervising thereof long-range or one of near-end monitoring or several computer host system states, real is the problem that presses for solution at present.
