2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a large-scale system such as a radio base station, monitoring and control means for managing the entire communication device, a large number of function execution means for performing actual operation of the device, and
A structure having a monitoring relay means for managing a plurality of function execution means collectively is adopted.

Here, as means for the monitoring control means to monitor the function execution means, a method in which the monitoring control means acquires monitoring data from the function execution means by polling, and a method in which the function execution means monitors the monitoring information by the monitoring control means There are two methods of notifying the monitoring data to the server.

When the number of function executing means increases, the load constantly applied to the monitoring control means increases in the method in which the monitoring control means obtains monitoring data from the function executing means by polling. By providing the function of monitoring the execution unit, the number of times of polling performed by the monitoring control unit can be reduced, and the load can be reduced.

In the case where the monitoring data of the function executing means is frequently updated, the method in which the function executing means notifies the monitoring information of the monitoring information to the monitoring control means has a disadvantage that the maximum load on the monitoring control means increases. Is disclosed in
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 02975, the maximum load on the monitoring control means can be reduced by the method in which the monitoring control means monitors the monitoring relay means by polling.

[0006]

However, according to the method in which the monitoring control means obtains monitoring data from the function executing means by polling and the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-102975, the monitoring control means uses polling. There is a disadvantage that a large amount of data always flows every time polling is performed because monitoring data of all function execution units is acquired.

Further, in the method in which the function executing means notifies the monitoring information to the monitoring control means of the monitoring data, if the notification of the monitoring data is lost for some reason, the monitoring control means keeps the monitoring data until another update occurs. There is a disadvantage that updating cannot be performed.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a monitoring control device and a base station device capable of reducing the amount of data for monitoring control and collecting monitoring data reliably. With the goal.

[0009]

In order to solve this problem, the monitoring relay unit collects, by polling, monitoring data displayed by a plurality of function execution units constituting the monitored device, and holds the monitoring data by the monitoring relay unit. Compared to the monitoring data, only the updated monitoring data is notified to the main control means for managing the entire monitored device.

In addition, the main control means polls all the monitoring relay means and collects monitoring data.

In addition, the main control means polls a specific (for example, any one in order) monitoring relay means and collects monitoring data.

[0012] The monitoring relay means acquires by polling an update state which is displayed by the function execution section and indicates that the monitoring data has been updated, and collects monitoring data only when there is an update, and the monitoring relay means executes the function execution. The update state of the unit is reset, or the function execution unit resets the update state.

Further, the monitoring relay unit collects the monitoring data displayed by all the function execution units managed by the monitoring relay unit by polling and compares the collected data with the monitoring data held by the monitoring relay unit. The monitoring relay unit notifies the main control unit, or the monitoring relay unit collects the monitoring data displayed by the specific function execution unit by polling. Further, the present invention provides a base station device including the above-described monitoring control device.
