  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and the embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to the following embodiments.

(Whole system configuration)
In recent years, technology for constructing a network using virtual network technology has become widespread, and in such an environment, a network can be constructed without performing physical facility construction, and provisioning using an automatic configuration script Is possible. The system in the present embodiment is, for example, a system in such a network. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the system in the present embodiment may be a system in a network where physical facility construction is performed. FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the overall system in the present embodiment includes a target environment 10, a configuration change management device 100, a chat system 200, and a terminal 300.

  The target environment 10 is a target of configuration change by the configuration change management apparatus 100, and includes one or more servers (computers) and communication devices. Usually, there are a plurality of target environments 10, and the plurality of target environments 10 constitute, for example, a system that provides a network service. The servers, communication devices, etc. that constitute each target environment 10 may be physical devices or virtual machines.

  Multiple target environments constitute a group. For example, a group may be configured for each geographical base, a group may be configured for each provided service, a group may be configured for each organization, and a group based on a viewpoint other than these may be configured. It may be configured.

  Also, as an example, in the present embodiment, one or more target environments in each group have one or more of a development environment, a test environment, a staging environment, and a commercial environment. Hereinafter, the development environment may be referred to as dev, the staging environment may be referred to as staging (abbreviated sg), and the commercial environment may be referred to as prod (abbreviated pr).

  The configuration change management apparatus 100 generates a command (in the present embodiment, a script) based on the configuration change request transmitted from the terminal 300, and executes the command to change the configuration of the specific target environment 10. While performing processing (may be referred to as setting change, setting, etc.), a history of configuration change is managed. Details of history management will be described later.

  In the present embodiment, transmission of the configuration change request from the terminal 300 is implemented using a chat. The chat system 200 is a system for realizing the chat. Note that transmitting a configuration change request using a check is an example. For transmission of the configuration change request, any means capable of transmitting a message from the terminal 300 may be used.

  The terminal 300 is a terminal used by a user (e.g., a developer) who changes the configuration of the target environment 10 or the like. The terminal 300 may be any device as long as it can transmit a message. For example, the terminal 300 is a PC, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like.

(Functional Configuration of Configuration Change Management Device 100, Outline of Operation)
FIG. 2 shows an example of the functional configuration of the configuration change management apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the configuration change management apparatus 100 includes a request reception unit 101, a configuration change command generation unit 102, a configuration change processing unit 103, a display processing unit 104, a history information storage unit 105, and a configuration information storage unit 106. .

  The request accepting unit 101 receives the message of the configuration change request transmitted from the terminal 300 via the chat system 200, and stores the information of the configuration change request in the history information storage unit 105. The configuration change instruction generation unit 102 generates an instruction to execute setting (configuration change) on the target environment 10 from the message of the configuration change request. In the present embodiment, the instruction is generated as a script (which may be referred to as an automatic construction script) that is automatically set (constructed).

  The configuration change processing unit 103 executes the configuration change of the target environment 10 by executing the command generated by the configuration change command generation unit 102, and at the same time, the history information storage unit 105 displays information indicating that the configuration change has been performed. Store in The display processing unit 104 determines what kind of configuration change has been made for the target environment based on the history information stored in the history information storage unit 105 and the configuration information stored in the configuration information storage unit 106. A display process is performed to generate display information to be displayed on the terminal 300 or the like in an easy-to-understand manner.

  The history information storage unit 105 stores history information related to the configuration change. The configuration information storage unit 106 stores configuration information of a system (including a plurality of target environments 10) to be a target of configuration change. The configuration information can be automatically generated from an automatic construction script (such as an instruction generated by the configuration change instruction generation unit 102), and the configuration information storage unit 106 stores the script and the configuration information generated from the script. Is stored. Note that generating configuration information from an automatic construction script is an example, and configuration information acquired by another method may be stored in the configuration information storage unit 106.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation image of the configuration change management device 100. As shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the configuration change request is also referred to as “RFC”. RFC is an abbreviation of Request For Change.

  In FIG. 3, when the user inputs a message indicating configuration change request 1 (RFC-1) for group A as an RFC to the terminal 300 of the user as an RFC, the configuration change request 1 is transmitted, and the configuration is changed. It is input to the management device 100. The configuration change management apparatus 100 generates an instruction for performing configuration change based on the configuration change request 1, and the instruction is stored in the configuration information storage unit 106. The instruction is an automatic construction script. The instruction is executed on the target environment of group A, and the configuration change is applied to the target environment.

  Further, information on the configuration change request and information indicating whether or not the configuration change is applied are stored in the history information storage unit 105.

  In the example of FIG. 3, the configuration change according to configuration change request 2 (RFC-2) is applied to the development environment in group B and the staging environment in group B as an example of the history information stored in history information storage unit 105. Is shown.

  Further, based on the history information stored in the history information storage unit 105, the configuration change management apparatus 100 can, for example, graphically display which configuration change has been applied to which environment. As an example, in the example of FIG. 3, the configuration change related to configuration change request 2 (RFC-2) is applied to the development environment of group B and the staging environment based on the information stored in the history information storage unit 105. Is shown graphically.

(Hardware configuration example)
Configuration change management apparatus 100 can be implemented, for example, by causing a computer to execute a program in which the processing content described in the present embodiment is described. That is, the function possessed by the configuration change management apparatus 100 executes a program corresponding to the processing performed by the configuration change management apparatus 100 using hardware resources such as a CPU, a memory, a hard disk, etc. built in the computer. It is possible to realize by. The program can be recorded on a computer readable recording medium (portable memory or the like), and can be stored or distributed. Moreover, it is also possible to provide the above program through a network such as the Internet or e-mail.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration when the configuration change management apparatus 100 is realized by a computer. Configuration change management apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 4 includes drive device 150, auxiliary storage device 152, memory device 153, CPU 154, interface device 155, display device 156, input device 157, etc. mutually connected by bus B. Have.

  The program for realizing the processing in the configuration change management apparatus 100 is provided by a recording medium 151 such as a CD-ROM or a memory card, for example. When the recording medium 151 storing the program is set to the drive device 150, the program is installed from the recording medium 151 to the auxiliary storage device 152 via the drive device 150. However, the installation of the program does not necessarily have to be performed from the recording medium 151, and may be downloaded from another computer via a network. The auxiliary storage device 152 stores the installed program and also stores necessary files and data.

  The memory unit 153 reads out the program from the auxiliary storage unit 152 and stores it when there is a program start instruction. The CPU 154 (processor) implements the function related to the configuration change management device 100 according to the program stored in the memory device 153. The interface device 155 is used as an interface for connecting to the network. The display device 156 displays a graphical user interface (GUI) according to a program. The input device 157 includes a keyboard and a mouse, buttons, or a touch panel, and is used to input various operation instructions.

  When the configuration management apparatus 100 is operated remotely or displayed remotely, the display device 156 and the input device 157 may not be provided.

(Operation example)
Next, an operation example related to the configuration management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment will be described according to the procedure described in the sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  Assuming that the process shown in FIG. 5 starts, the user of the terminal 300 first inputs a message indicating a configuration change request to the terminal 300. As described above, in the present embodiment, a chat system is used for sending and receiving messages.

  In the present embodiment, a chat system capable of forming a group (chat room) called a channel is used. When using the chat system, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of channel names are displayed, and the user selects a channel that he / she wants to use to chat in the group corresponding to the channel. It can be carried out.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one channel corresponds to one target environment. However, this is an example, and one channel may correspond to a plurality of target environments (e.g., one group), or a plurality of channels may correspond to one target environment.

  As an example, the user selects a channel corresponding to a staging environment (for example, abc-sg1) of a certain group (for example, abc), and inputs a message indicating a configuration change request to the terminal 300. Selecting the channel corresponding to abc-sg1 indicates that the target of configuration change is abc-sg1.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a message indicating a configuration change request input to the terminal 300. The example of FIG. 7 shows a configuration change request for performing setting to automatically execute a file (shell script) by cron at intervals of 10 minutes from January to May. The message can also include the reason for making the configuration change.

  In the present embodiment, “rfc:” is added to indicate that the message is a configuration change request. If the request receiving unit 101 of the configuration change management device 100 detects that rfc: is attached to the beginning of the received message, it can determine that the message is a message related to the configuration change request.

  The part indicating the configuration change content after “rfc:” in the message may be any language, grammar, etc. as long as it indicates the configuration change content. However, in this embodiment, since a command for changing the configuration is automatically generated from the message of the configuration change request using the template, the message is generated in a format suitable for application of the template. ing.

  The configuration change management device 100 may extract the configuration change content from the natural language by using a technique such as AI as the description of the part indicating the configuration change content as the natural language (or a language close to the natural language).

  The configuration change request message input to the terminal 300 in S101 and S102 of FIG. 5 reaches the configuration change management device 100 via the chat system 200.

  When receiving the message, the request accepting unit 101 of the configuration change management device 100 recognizes that the message is a message of the configuration change request by “rfc:”, and also receives the channel of the received message (eg: abc- From sg1), grasp the target of configuration change (example: grasp that it is abc-sg1).

  The request receiving unit 101 assigns an ID to the configuration change request, and stores (registers) information on the configuration change request in the history information storage unit 105 as an entry of a table (S103).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a table stored in the history information storage unit 105. The entry of RFC-ID = 56 in FIG. 8 corresponds to the configuration change request based on the input shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the table includes an ID, a request date (request date), a target environment (target environment), contents of configuration change (request detail), and information (Automated) indicating whether an instruction for automatic construction could be generated. ), Information indicating whether the test has been completed (status), and information indicating which environment has been applied (applied on). The table may also include the user name that issued the configuration change request and the configuration change reason. Further, in the example of FIG. 8, the configuration change request is issued (or the time when the configuration change request is received) is recorded as the time, but instead of or in addition to this, the configuration change request is The time when the configuration change according to is applied may be recorded for each target environment to which the application is applied.

  Subsequently, the configuration change command generation unit 102 generates a command (script) for changing the configuration based on the message of the configuration change request received in S102 (S104). Although the method of generating an instruction is not limited to a specific method, in the present embodiment, an instruction is generated using a template. That is, the configuration change command generation unit 102 holds a plurality of types of templates corresponding to the configuration change content in storage means such as a memory, selects the template corresponding to the content of the received configuration change request, and changes the configuration. An instruction is generated by applying an element of the request message to the template. In addition to the template specification, various methods may be employed such as implementing the input message itself as a configuration change, importing an external script, and re-executing a script executed in the past.

  For example, in RFC-ID = 56 (setting of cron job), the configuration change command generation unit 102 selects a template corresponding to the setting of the cron job from a plurality of templates, and uses the template.

  As an example, in response to the request shown in FIG. 7, the configuration change command generation unit 102 acquires key information as shown in FIG. 9, for example, and substitutes it into the corresponding part of the template shown in FIG. Thus, an instruction (automatic construction script) as shown in FIG. 10 (b) is generated. When an instruction can be generated in this way, the field of Automated in the table of FIG. 8 is set to Completed.

  The generated instruction is stored in the configuration information storage unit 106. Next, the configuration change processing unit 103 reads the command from the configuration information storage unit 106, and executes the command on the target environment 10 to be the target of the configuration change related to the command to implement the configuration change (see FIG. S105). Specifically, for example, the configuration change processing unit 103 generates a code (for example, python code) from the instruction, transmits the code to the target environment 10, and the target environment 10 executes the code. The change is implemented. Alternatively, the configuration change processing unit 103 may transmit the instruction to the target environment 10, the target environment 10 generates a code from the instruction, and the configuration change may be performed by executing the code.

  The target environment 10 notifies the configuration change management apparatus 100 that the configuration change has been completed. Thus, the configuration change processing unit 103 of the configuration change management apparatus 100 recognizes that the configuration change for the target environment 10 is completed, and the applied on field in the corresponding entry of the table stored in the history information storage unit 105. The target environment (example: abc-sg1) to which the configuration change is applied is recorded in (S106). As described above, in S106, the time when the configuration change is completed may be recorded together with the target environment recorded in the applied on field.

  Also, each target environment 10 has a function of, for example, periodically accessing the history information storage unit 105 of the configuration change management apparatus 100 to check information related to the configuration change request recorded in the table. . For example, in the state where configuration change of RFC-ID = 56 which is a configuration change request for abc-sg1 is completed and only abc-sg1 is recorded in the applied on field, abc-sg2 (the staging environment of group abc) 2) checks the table to find that the setting change of RFC-ID = 56 for abc-sg1 is completed. Then, abc-sg2 determines that the configuration change applied to the environment of the same group should be applied to itself, and acquires a configuration change instruction of RFC-ID = 56 from the configuration information storage unit 106, By executing the instruction, the configuration change of RFC-ID = 56 is performed, and the completion report is transmitted to the configuration change management apparatus 100. Similarly, abc-dev2 also executes setting change of RFC-ID = 56, and transmits a completion report to the configuration change management apparatus 100. The state at this time is shown in FIG.

  In the above example, each target environment 10 accesses (polls) the history information storage unit 105 of the configuration change management apparatus 100. Alternatively, or in addition to this, when the configuration change processing unit 103 of the configuration change management apparatus 100 applies a configuration change to the target environment based on a configuration change request for a target environment, the configuration change processing unit 103 The configuration change may be applied to other related target environments. The other target environment related to the target environment may be, for example, an environment belonging to the same group or an environment belonging to the same type (type such as development environment, test environment, staging environment, commercial environment etc.) It may be

  As an example, the configuration change management apparatus 100 stores a table indicating the relevance of the environment as shown in FIG. 11 in storage means such as the configuration information storage unit 106 or the like. In the example of FIG. 11, the environment belonging to the same group is an environment having relevance, for example, when the configuration change processing unit 103 changes the configuration of abc-sg1 based on the configuration change request, the table is displayed. By referring to the configuration change, the configuration change can be applied to abc-sg2 and the like related to abc-sg1. Note that id in FIG. 11 is an id of configuration information. For example, configuration information is stored in the configuration information storage unit 106 in a form linked to an id, and configuration information stored in the configuration information storage unit 106 can be acquired from the id shown in FIG.

(About display processing)
Configuration change management apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment can perform various displays by using history information stored in history information storage unit 105 and configuration information stored in configuration information storage unit 106. It is.

  Although the display may be performed by any device, as an example, a sequence in the case of performing the display at the terminal 300 is shown in FIG. In S107 of FIG. 5, a display request is transmitted from the terminal 300 to the configuration change management device 100. In S108, the display processing unit 104 of the configuration change management apparatus 100 performs display processing for creating display information (information of a screen displayed on the terminal 300). In S109, display information is transmitted to the terminal 300, and display is performed in S110.

  Although the information (screens) shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 below are displayed on the terminal 300, it is assumed that the information shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is display information created by the display processing unit 104. It may be interpreted.

<Display Example 1>
FIG. 12 shows a display example 1. In Display Example 1, configurations of a development environment (dev), a staging environment (staging), and a commercial environment (prod) are shown for each group. This configuration is based on the configuration information stored in the configuration information storage unit 106, and the display processing unit 104 creates display information indicating the configuration using the configuration information. For example, in FIG. 12, it is shown that abc-dev1 and abc-dev2 exist as development environments of the group abc.

  Also, in FIG. 12, a plurality of environments in the same group are connected by a line indicating that they are related. Such association can be grasped from the table shown in FIG.

  Further, in the display example 1 shown in FIG. 12, in the display request of S107 of FIG. 5, RFC-ID = 59 is specified, and it is instructed to highlight the target environment to which the configuration change of the ID is applied.

  The display processing unit 104 refers to the table (FIG. 8) of the history information storage unit 105 based on the display request, and uses the information corresponding to RFC-ID = 59 to nop-dev1, abc-sg1, and abc-. It is grasped that the setting change of RFC-ID = 59 is applied to dev2, and as shown in FIG. 12, nop-dev1, abc-sg1, and abc-dev2 are highlighted. Although the method of highlighting is not limited to a specific method, it is, for example, coloring.

  The display as shown in FIG. 12 makes it possible to grasp at a glance which environment a specific setting change has been applied to.

<Display Example 2>
FIG. 13 shows a display example 2. The display contents of the configuration and the relationship serving as the base in the display example 2 are the same as in the display example 1 (FIG. 12).

  In the display example 2, by designating a specific environment in the display request (S107 in FIG. 5), the configuration change applied to the environment is displayed in time series.

  In the example of FIG. 13, abc-sg1 is specified as the specific environment. In this case, the display processing unit 104 refers to the table (FIG. 8) of the history information storage unit 105 and changes the configuration of RFC-ID = 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 59 for abc-sg1. It grasps that it has been applied, and as shown in FIG. 13, the ID is displayed in time series in the area near abc-sg1 on the screen (here, a balloon is used) together with the request time. The time when the configuration change is applied may be displayed instead of the request time or together with the request time. Further, when the difference between the request time and the time when the configuration change is applied is small (eg, less than or equal to a predetermined threshold), either of the request time and the time when the configuration change is applied may be displayed.

  As in the display example 2, by displaying the configuration changes applied in the designated environment in chronological order, it is possible to grasp the contents of the configuration changes applied in the environment in chronological order.

  Although the example in FIG. 13 shows an example in which the configuration change for one environment is displayed in time series, the configuration changes for a plurality of environments are displayed in time series by specifying a plurality of environments. It is also possible.

<Display Example 3>
In the display example 2 described above, the configuration change for a certain target environment is displayed in time series, but focusing on the progress of time, displaying which setting change was provided to which environment at a certain time Is also possible. This will be described as Display Example 3.

  FIG. 14 shows a display example 3. The configuration and the relationship serving as the base of FIG. 14 are displayed based on the configuration information and the like as in the display examples 1 and 2.

  In Display Example 3, the display processing unit 104 displays a bar as shown in FIG. 14 as a user interface for specifying the time. The bar represents a flow of time, and the user can designate a specific time by moving a triangle mark on the bar.

  For example, as shown on the left side of FIG. 14, when the time (time A) indicated by A is designated by a triangle mark, the display processing unit 104 displays the table (FIG. 8) stored in the history information storage unit 105. The configuration change applied in the time of a predetermined width including the time A and the target environment are extracted and display processing is performed. The time of a predetermined width including the time A may be, for example, a time from (Time A-T) to (Time A + T), where T is a predetermined time length, (Time A-T) Or the time from time A to time A, or any other time.

  In the example on the left side of FIG. 14, the configuration change of RFC-ID = 58 is applied to environment 1 and the configuration change of RFC-ID = 48 is applied to environment 2 in the time of the predetermined width. It is shown.

  The right side of FIG. 14 shows a case where the time (time B) indicated by B is designated by a triangle mark, and in this case, the RFC-ID for the environment 1 within the predetermined width time for the time B. It is shown that a configuration change of = 58 has been applied.

  The user can shift the triangle mark on the bar to display continuous changes about which configuration change was applied to which environment, and the user can determine which configuration change was applied to which environment. It can be easily grasped. Also, for example, when interconnecting two environments, etc., it is possible to grasp what kind of change is made to the mutual systems and what kind of situation it was.

(Effects of the embodiment, etc.)
As described above, in the present embodiment, the configuration change request to each environment is automatically managed and automatically applied, and the results are displayed in a list, and display in time series, display for each site, etc. I will do it. This makes it possible to easily grasp the history of configuration changes made in the system.

  In the prior art, it was necessary for a person to think about creating a configuration change procedure from a configuration change request. Therefore, manually associating “configuration change request management”, “configuration change procedure creation” and “configuration management” by hand Because it had been done, it took a great deal of effort to grasp the history of configuration changes.

  On the other hand, in the technology according to the present embodiment, a configuration change request is automatically accepted by using a chat system, and a configuration change command is automatically created. Furthermore, this configuration change instruction can be incorporated into configuration information (this incorporation itself is an existing technology), and the configuration information can be automatically maintained. And since the history regarding application of the configuration change in each base is held and the history is displayed together with the relevance between the environments, the history of the configuration change can be easily grasped.

  By introducing the configuration change management apparatus 100 described in the present embodiment, manual work is significantly reduced, so that the cost of configuration change management is significantly reduced. Further, by introducing the configuration change management apparatus 100, the history of configuration changes in many environments can be displayed with a list property, so that omission can be prevented and configuration changes can be applied to each environment.

(Summary of the embodiment)
