Description

The present invention relates to a failure occurrence prediction system that predicts a failure occurrence in a computer terminal according to the importance of an application running on the computer terminal, and gives a warning or the like.

  A large number of computer terminals are used in organizations such as companies, but there are situations such as sudden failure of computer terminals. When a failure occurs in a computer terminal, the computer terminal cannot be used, and data stored in the computer terminal may be erased or data being input may be erased. Therefore, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 below, a system that predicts and warns of the occurrence of a failure in a computer terminal is considered.

JP 11-338729 A JP 2000-330831 A JP 2002-49492 A

  By using the invention described in each of these patent documents, it is possible to predict the occurrence of a failure in a computer terminal, so that it is possible to take measures such as stopping the use of the computer terminal or frequently taking backups. Then it is beneficial.

  Even when these inventions are used, the failure history is simply memorized in a uniform manner, and the activation is limited or a warning is given when they satisfy a predetermined condition. In other words, there are a wide variety of applications that can be executed on computer terminals. For example, in addition to inputting data and documents using spreadsheet software, word processing software, etc., browsing websites with web browsers, and in some cases using video playback software There are various tasks such as watching. However, in a conventional system for predicting a failure as in the patent literature, a failure history is stored as described above, and the occurrence of a failure is predicted based on the failure factor such as the history and compatibility of software used. Only. For this reason, no matter what application is used in the computer terminal, a warning of the occurrence of a failure is issued.

  However, the damage when a failure occurs is completely different between the case where data is input with spreadsheet software and the case where the site is browsed with a web browser. In the former case, the data entered in the spreadsheet software disappears and the input work is lost, so the damage is extremely large, but in the latter case, it is only necessary to access the site again with a web browser, so the damage is very small . Therefore, when important work is performed as in the former case, it is required to predict the occurrence of a fault with high sensitivity, but in the latter case, it is rather annoying when prediction of the occurrence of a fault with high sensitivity is performed. In some cases, sensitivity like the former is not required.

  As described above, it is impossible to predict the occurrence of a failure in accordance with the importance of an application being executed on a computer terminal with the conventional technology such as the above-mentioned patent document.

Predictions and accompanying warnings can be made.

  FIG. 1 shows an overall conceptual diagram of a failure occurrence prediction system 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a conceptual diagram of a system configuration.

  The failure occurrence prediction system 1 is realized by reading and processing a predetermined program in a computer terminal or server (hereinafter referred to as “management terminal 2”) used by an administrator who monitors each client terminal 3. (This program may be realized by being read into the client terminal 3). The management terminal 2 stores and monitors what applications are being executed in the plurality of client terminals 3 and what operations are being executed. Therefore, each client terminal 3 periodically or newly receives application information such as a program name and file name executed in the client terminal 3 and information input to the client terminal 3 through the input device 23. A function of transmitting operation log information from the client terminal 3 to the management terminal 2 at a predetermined timing, such as when a specific application is executed or terminated, and a problem (abnormal termination of the application, application Error, inoperability, unauthorized reboot, etc.) is extracted from the OS event log and transmitted to the management terminal 2 as defect information. The function of transmitting the operation log is to extract application information that is information for identifying an application such as a program name or a file name in the arithmetic unit 20 or the memory of the client terminal 3 or input by the input device 23 of the client terminal 3. Information may be sent.

  The management terminal 2 includes an arithmetic device 20 such as a CPU that executes arithmetic processing of a program, a storage device 21 such as a RAM and a hard disk that stores information, and processing results of the arithmetic device 20 and information to be stored, such as the Internet and a LAN. It has at least a communication device 24 that transmits and receives via a network. Each function (each unit) realized on the computer is executed when a unit (program, module, etc.) for executing the process is read into the arithmetic unit 20. When using the information stored in the storage device 21 in the processing, each function reads the corresponding information from the storage device 21 and uses the read information for processing in the arithmetic device 20 as appropriate. The management terminal 2 may include an input device 23 such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a numeric keypad, and a display device 22 such as a display. FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of the hardware configuration of the management terminal 2. Further, the management terminal 2 may have its functions distributed in a plurality of computer terminals or servers.

  Each means in the present invention is only logically distinguished in function, and may be physically or practically the same area.

  The management terminal 2 includes a defect information acquisition unit 4, a defect history storage unit 5, a risk determination unit 6, a defect information storage unit 7, a cumulative value processing unit 8, an application information acquisition unit 9, an importance determination unit 10, and an application information storage. Unit 11, failure occurrence prediction processing unit 12, warning determination unit 13, and warning unit 14.

  The defect information acquisition unit 4 receives information related to a defect that has occurred in each client terminal 3 from the client terminal 3 periodically or after a defect has occurred. The defect information in each client terminal 3 refers to the event log in the OS of each client terminal 3 (the type of defect can be determined from the event ID or the like), so that it can be understood what kind of defect has occurred in the client terminal 3. Therefore, it is only necessary that information indicating the failure that has occurred is transmitted from the client terminal 3 to the management terminal 2 as failure information. The defect information at this time may be information indicating the contents of the defect, and may be, for example, the name of the defect, identification information, the event log itself, or other logs.

  The event log includes, for example, an application log, a security log, and a system log. A log relating to an application (application log) is an event recorded by the application. For example, when an error occurs in a database or a program, the log is recorded as an application log. Logs related to security include events related to logon success / failure and resource usage (creation of objects such as files, opening, and deletion). The system-related log is an event recorded by the system component of the OS, and is recorded when, for example, the driver or other system component fails to be read at startup. FIG. 5 schematically shows the event log.

  Various types of information are recorded in the event log. For example, when the OS is Windows (registered trademark), five types of events are recorded: error, warning, information, success audit, and failure audit. An error is a serious problem such as loss of data or function. For example, when loading fails during startup, an error log is recorded. The warning is not necessarily serious, but is an event that may become a problem in the future. For example, a warning log is recorded when the free disk space is reduced. The information is an event that describes a successful operation of the application, driver, or service. For example, when the network driver is successfully loaded, an information event is recorded. A success audit is an event of a successful attempt to access the audited security and is recorded as a successful audit event, for example, when a user successfully logs on to the system. The failure audit is an event of a failed access attempt to the audited security. For example, when the user fails to access the network drive, the failure audit event is recorded.

  In addition to the five types of events, the event log contains the date (date when the event was executed), time (time when the event was executed), source (process that generated the event), and classification (specification for classifying the event). Class), event (unique numerical value identifying the event), user (user who generated the event), computer (computer where the event was generated), and the like are recorded. FIG. 6 schematically shows information recorded in the event log. FIG. 7 shows an example of the actual event log display. Each defect information and the event log in that case are schematically shown in FIG.

  When the defect information acquisition unit 4 acquires the above-described defect information from each client terminal 3, the defect information acquisition unit 4 stores the defect information in a defect history storage unit 5 described later.

  The defect history storage unit 5 stores defect information received from each client terminal 3, and preferably stores the received identification information of the client terminal 3 in association with accumulated points described later. Note that the defect history storage unit 5 may store the defect information history and the risk point in each case in association with the identification information of the client terminal 3 instead of storing the accumulated points.

  The risk determination unit 6 determines a risk point corresponding to the defect information received by the defect information acquisition unit 4 by referring to a defect information storage unit 7 described later. The risk point is an index value indicating the risk of a failure due to the defect information that has occurred, and can be arbitrarily set by the administrator of the management terminal 2 or the like.

  The defect information storage unit 7 stores defect information and risk points determined in advance according to the defect information. For example, in the case of “PC power supply shutdown” as the defect information, “5” is associated as the risk point, and in the case of “abnormal termination with some functions and applications” as the defect information, “3” is associated. The defect information storage unit 7 is schematically shown in FIG. The risk determination unit 6 refers to the defect information storage unit 7 based on the defect information received by the defect information acquisition unit 4, thereby determining the risk point associated with the defect information storage unit 7.

  The cumulative value processing unit 8 is a cumulative value of the risk points determined by the risk determination unit 6 and the risk points associated with the defect information in the predetermined period of the client terminal 3 stored in the defect history storage unit 5 ( (Accumulated points) is added to calculate a new accumulated point. If the defect history storage unit 5 does not store accumulated points but stores defect information history and risk points in each case, the accumulated value processing unit 8 adds them. Thus, it is possible to obtain a cumulative point by adding the risk point determined by the risk determination unit 6 to the cumulative point.

  The application information acquisition unit 9 periodically or irregularly (for example, information such as the names of applications and programs (in this specification, collectively referred to as “applications”) executed on each client terminal 3. When the defect information acquisition unit 4 receives the defect information from the client terminal 3), the defect information acquisition unit 4 receives the defect information from each client terminal 3.

  The importance determination unit 10 determines an importance point corresponding to the application information received by the application information acquisition unit 9 by referring to an application information storage unit 11 described later. This importance point is an index value indicating the importance of an application, that is, the degree of damage that is caused when a failure occurs in the client terminal 3 and data is lost. By determining the importance point, it is possible to determine what important application is currently being executed in the client terminal 3.

  The application information storage unit 11 stores application information and importance points determined in advance according to the application information. For example, in the case of “spreadsheet software” as application information, “8” is associated with importance point, and in the case of “Internet browser software” as application information, “1” is associated with importance point. ing. The application information storage unit 11 is shown in FIG. The importance level determination unit 10 refers to the application information storage unit 11 based on the application information received by the application information acquisition unit 9, thereby determining the importance level point associated therewith.

  The failure occurrence prediction processing unit 12 calculates a failure occurrence prediction point using the new accumulated point calculated by the accumulated value processing unit 8 and the importance level determined by the importance level determination unit 10. In calculating the failure prediction point, it is preferable to add the accumulated point and the importance point, but other calculations may be used.

  The warning determination unit 13 compares the failure occurrence prediction point in the failure occurrence prediction processing unit 12 with a predetermined value, and determines whether or not to warn the client terminal 3 that a failure occurrence is predicted. For example, a failure occurrence prediction point is compared with a predetermined value, and if the failure occurrence prediction point is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that a warning is to be performed. Various conditions can be used for this comparison, and it is only necessary to determine that a warning is to be made when a predetermined comparison condition using a failure occurrence prediction point and a predetermined value is satisfied.

  If the warning determination unit 13 determines that the warning determination unit 13 issues a warning that a failure is predicted in the client terminal 3, the warning unit 14 transmits an e-mail, a pop-up message, or the like to the client terminal 3. A warning is given. At this time, the identification information of the client terminal 3 that has performed processing such as calculation of failure occurrence prediction points and cumulative points, determination of importance points, and the like is managed in a series of processing. Terminal 3 is identified. As a warning to be given at this time, for example, a message such as “It is predicted that a failure will occur. Please request repairs and take frequent backups” is displayed. In addition to displaying the above message on the client terminal 3, it is also possible to send an e-mail or a pop-up message to the person in charge of the system maintenance department that a failure is predicted to occur. good. At this time, by transmitting the identification information of the client terminal 3 to the person in charge, it is possible to grasp which computer terminal is predicted to generate a failure. In response to the message, the person in charge of the maintenance department performs maintenance work in advance, so that the occurrence of a failure can be prevented. After such maintenance, etc., the defect history and accumulated points of the client terminal 3 stored in the defect history storage unit 5 are deleted, or the accumulated points are set to the initial state (for example, “0”). In addition, input from the management terminal 2 may be performed.

  Next, an example of the processing process of the failure occurrence prediction system 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the conceptual diagram of FIG.

  When a problem occurs in the client terminal 3 or periodically, each client terminal 3 transmits defect information from the client terminal 3 to the management terminal 2 by referring to an event log in the OS. This defect information is received by the defect information acquisition unit 4 of the management terminal 2 (S100). The received defect information is preferably stored in the defect history storage unit 5.

  When the defect information is received from the client terminal 3, the risk determination unit 6 determines a risk point corresponding to the received defect information by referring to the defect information storage unit 7 (S110). For example, when the defect information received from the client terminal 3 is “abnormal termination of application”, it is determined by referring to the defect information storage unit 7 that the risk point is “3”.

  When the risk point is determined in this way, the cumulative value processing unit 8 extracts the cumulative point in the client terminal 3 that has received the defect information from the defect history storage unit 5 (for example, the extracted cumulative point is “10”). A new accumulated point (for example, add) by calculating (for example, adding) the extracted accumulated point (“10”) and the determined risk point (“3”) by a predetermined method. (13)) is calculated (S120). The calculated new accumulated points are updated by storing them in the defect history storage unit 5 as accumulated points of the client terminal 3.

  On the other hand, when the management terminal 2 receives defect information from the client terminal 3, the application information acquisition unit 9 receives application information of an application running on the client terminal 3. Then, based on the received application information, the importance level determination unit 10 determines the importance level point corresponding to the application information by referring to the application information storage unit 11 (S130).

  For example, when the “spreadsheet software”, “word processor software”, and “mailer software” applications are running on the client terminal 3, the application information acquisition unit 9 receives application information (such as software name) indicating them. . Then, the importance determination unit 10 determines “8”, “6”, and “4” as importance points corresponding to the application information indicating “spreadsheet software”, “word processor software”, “mailer software”, and the like. (S140). Note that S100 to S140 may be in any order.

  Then, the failure occurrence prediction processing unit 12 calculates a failure occurrence prediction point using the accumulated points calculated by the accumulated value processing unit 8 and the importance points determined by the importance level determination unit 10 (S150). In the case of the above example, the calculated cumulative point is “13” and the determined importance points are “8”, “6”, “4”, and therefore the failure occurrence prediction point is “31” using them. Is calculated. In this example, the cumulative occurrence point and the importance point are summed to calculate the failure occurrence prediction point, but other calculations may be performed.

  After calculating the failure occurrence prediction point, the warning determination unit 13 compares the failure occurrence prediction point with a predetermined value to determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied (S160). For example, when the predetermined value is “30” and the predetermined condition is “whether the failure occurrence prediction point is greater than or equal to the predetermined value”, the failure occurrence prediction point “31” is compared with the predetermined value “30”. . Then, since the failure occurrence prediction point is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the comparison condition is satisfied, and thus the warning determination unit 13 issues a warning to the client terminal 3 and the computer terminal of the person in charge of the system maintenance department. Judge that.

  If it is determined that a warning is to be issued, the warning unit 14 notifies the client terminal 3 of a predetermined warning message by e-mail, pop-up message, or the like (S170). In addition, a predetermined warning message is also notified to the computer terminal of a person in charge of the system maintenance department by an e-mail or a pop-up message. A warning message may be notified to other computer terminals.

  On the other hand, for example, when the predetermined value is “45” and the predetermined condition is “whether the failure occurrence prediction point is greater than or equal to the predetermined value”, the failure occurrence prediction point “31” and the predetermined value “45” are set. Compare. Then, since the failure prediction point is less than the predetermined position, the comparison condition is not satisfied, and the warning determination unit 13 determines not to issue a warning. Then, the failure occurrence prediction system 1 waits to receive the next defect information.

  In the above description, when the warning determination unit 13 determines to issue a warning, an activation restriction instruction unit (not shown) that issues an application activation restriction instruction in the client terminal 3 may be further provided. In this case, when the warning determination unit 13 determines to issue a warning, the activation restriction instructing unit restricts activation of the application to the client terminal 3 (all applications cannot be activated, other applications cannot be activated, a predetermined time) Each time an instruction other than the application whose data is backed up cannot be started) is transmitted. Upon receiving this, the client terminal 3 executes application activation restriction in accordance with the activation restriction instruction. That is, when starting an application in the client terminal 3, after determining whether the application is a restriction target in comparison with the start restriction in the start restriction instruction, the application is not started in the case of the restriction target application. Start only non-applicable applications.

  As a different embodiment of the above-described first embodiment, defect information is received from the client terminal 3, and a risk point corresponding to the defect information is determined. Then, the risk point and the accumulated points of the defect information within a predetermined period are summed to calculate a new accumulated point. A configuration may be adopted in which a warning is given to the client terminal 3 when the calculated new accumulated point becomes a predetermined value or more.

By executing the processing as described above, the prediction result of the occurrence of a failure changes according to the importance of the application running on the client terminal 3, so that a warning based on that can be given. This makes warnings easier when using applications with relatively high importance such as spreadsheet software or word processing software, while using applications with relatively low importance such as Internet browser software. If this is the case, the warning is less likely to occur. As a result, it is possible to predict the occurrence of a failure more appropriate than before and to give a warning associated therewith.
