Hereinafter, one embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in all the drawings for explaining the embodiment, in principle, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals, and the repeated description thereof will be omitted. Further, in the following embodiments, the components (including element steps and the like) are not necessarily essential unless otherwise specified or clearly considered to be essential in principle. Needless to say. In addition, when saying "consisting of A", "consisting of A", "having A", and "including A", other elements are excluded unless it is clearly stated that it is only that element. It goes without saying that it is not something to do. Similarly, in the following embodiments, when referring to the shape, positional relationship, etc. of a component or the like, the shape is substantially the same unless otherwise specified or when it is considered that it is not apparent in principle. Etc., etc. shall be included.

In managing the work of increasing or decreasing the capacity of the equipment in the existing environment, the resources of the equipment are increased when the capacity is insufficient. For example, increasing the amount of memory (RAM: Random Access Memory) of the server device, increasing the number of CPUs (Central Processing Units), increasing the communication speed, adding a new server device, and the like. ..

For example, when access to an e-mail server or web server is concentrated, the load is distributed by physically increasing the number of e-mail servers or web servers, with the aim of increasing throughput and improving response time.

In such a case, it is necessary to reliably start the service while shortening the time required for constructing each server device.

On the other hand, since the setting items of the server device are diverse, it is often the case that the server device is constructed by copying the setting values by changing only the individual setting values. For example, in the case of the same type of server device, the same port number, memory capacity, communication band, etc. are used for communication between the existing server device and the server device to be constructed, and the addresses are different for each. Customization such as setting unique ones may be performed.

However, the distinction between the setting value that should be shared between the server devices and the setting value that should be set individually and the know-how are often personal, and work mistakes are likely to occur.

Therefore, in the technique according to the present invention, the setting values of a plurality of existing devices are collected and classified, the values of the setting items having a high frequency of appearance are set as common setting values, and the values of the setting items having a low frequency are non-common setting values ( By organizing them as individual setting values), the know-how can be made objective and the reproducibility can be improved.

Recently, there is an increasing demand for automation of infrastructure construction by Infrastructure as Code. For automation, a mechanism in which a file in which parameter information is coded is prepared and a configuration management tool (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Itamae, etc.) builds a server using the file has become widespread. By saving the coded file and using it for subsequent maintenance, it has become practical for maintenance and maintenance. However, for a system in an existing environment that is manually constructed without automation, there is no coded file, and maintenance and maintenance are complicated. In addition, if a server device having a coded file as a management target and a server device not having a coded file coexist, there is room for a human error to occur, especially in an emergency response.

In addition, if there is a coded file, it can be easily reconstructed even when the hardware of the server device is updated. Similarly, in the scalability expansion for securing capacity, if the basic setting values can be shared and only the parts that need to be changed can be reflected in the server device, the environment construction becomes easy.

Therefore, it is desirable to create a coded file even in a system in an existing environment that is manually constructed without automation.

In the construction system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, setting values are collected for each existing server type (Web (HTTP) server, AP (application) server, DB (database) server), and common setting values and non-common setting values are collected. Create a coded file by holding the common setting value separately and rewriting the non-common setting value with the individual setting value according to the server device to be newly or reconstructed. This enables automatic construction by the configuration management tool.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a flow of use of the construction system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the construction system 1, in the construction device 100, a set value is set as a common code of the AP server from the existing device 200 (for example, AP server device C) among the server devices constituting the existing server device group (for example, AP server group). Collect and compare the appearance frequency of the set value for each setting item among multiple server devices, specify the setting value whose appearance frequency is higher than the predetermined value as the common setting value, and specify the setting value that is not as the non-common setting value. do.

Further, the construction device 100 is provided with an interface for basically displaying the common setting value as unchangeable, and for example, while displaying the common setting value in gray out, a warning is issued when an input for changing the setting value is received, so that the common setting value is displayed. Suppress easy changes in. For non-common setting values, basically an interface that can be changed is provided, for example, while highlighting and displaying, when the input to change the setting value is not accepted, a warning is issued to set the individual setting value. prompt.

Further, the construction device 100 generates a setting file (coded file) for a construction tool (configuration management tool). At this time, the construction device 100 generates a coded file by overwriting the common setting value with the changed value of the common setting value, overwriting the non-common setting value with the changed value of the non-common setting value, and combining the two.

Then, in the construction device 100, the environment is constructed by using the coded file for the server device (for example, the new AP server) which is the construction target device 300. Specifically, various software is installed, configuration files are placed, and necessary work such as updating the repository including the registry is performed.

The above is the flow of using the construction system according to the embodiment of the present invention. By using the construction device 100 according to this flow, it is possible to apply the existing settings when constructing a new server device and construct it including some individual customization. That is, it is possible to easily manage the work of increasing / decreasing the capacity of the device in the existing environment.

For example, it may be various information processing devices such as a tablet device, a smartphone, and a television device.

Although not shown, the construction device 100 has known elements such as an OS, middleware, and an application.

[Explanation of operation] Next, the operation of the construction device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of the construction preparation process. The construction preparation process is carried out by receiving a start instruction from the user for each construction work of the construction target device 300.

First, the input receiving unit 121 receives the input of the type of the construction target device 300 (step S001). For example, the input receiving unit 121 selectively receives information indicating the device type of the construction target device 300. The type indicating the main use of the server such as http, AP, DB, IDS, IPS, FW, and gateway is the device type.

Then, the setting collecting unit 122 collects the setting value from the existing device 200 according to the type of the construction target device 300 (step S002). Specifically, the setting collection unit 122 stores the information of the setting storage unit 211 for the existing devices 200 (if there are a plurality of them, each of them) of the same type of the construction target device 300 received in step S001. Send it. Then, the setting collection unit 122 stores the transmitted setting value in the collection setting storage unit 111 with the device ID and the device type added.

Then, the common setting specifying unit 123 classifies the common setting and the non-common setting according to the appearance frequency of each collected setting value (step S003). Specifically, the common setting specifying unit 123 calculates a predetermined index value for each set value stored in the collection setting storage unit 111, and uses the index value to either a common set value or a non-common set value. Is specified and stored in the common setting storage unit 112 and the non-common setting storage unit 113. The common setting specifying unit 123 uses the appearance frequency of the set value for a predetermined setting item to be regarded as the same as the index value, and if the appearance frequency is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, the common setting storage unit 112 specifies that the setting is common. If not, it is specified as a non-common setting and stored in the non-common setting storage unit 113.

Then, the individual setting receiving unit 124 accepts the overwrite input of the non-common setting (step S004). Specifically, the individual setting receiving unit 124 receives an overwrite input by the individual setting value for the non-common setting value stored in the non-common setting storage unit 113. At this time, the individual setting receiving unit 124 may output a warning when a non-common setting value that has not been overwritten by the individual setting value remains.

Then, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 accepts the overwrite input of the common setting (step S005). Specifically, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 accepts an overwrite input for the common setting value stored in the common setting storage unit 112. At this time, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 may output a warning if there is a common setting value for which overwrite input has been made.

Then, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 creates the construction instruction information by merging the common setting, the overwrite input of the common setting, the non-common setting, and the overwrite input of the non-common setting (step S006). Specifically, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 stores the information in which the common setting value stored in the common setting storage unit 112 is overwritten with the overwrite input information received in step S005 and the information stored in the non-common setting storage unit 113. The construction instruction information is created by merging the non-common setting value that has been overwritten with the information overwritten by the overwriting input information received in step S004. Then, the construction instruction information creation unit 125 stores the created construction instruction information in the construction instruction information storage unit 114.

The above is the flow of the construction preparation process. According to the construction preparation process, common setting values and non-common setting values are collected separately from the setting values collected from the existing device 200, and if there is overwriting information, the overwriting information is accepted and the construction instruction information is received. Can be created.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an output example of the construction preparation screen. On the construction preparation screen 400, the AP server 401, the Web server 402, the DB server 403, the setting information input area 410, and the construction instruction information creation input, which are input areas for selectively accepting the type of the device to be built as input. Region 420 and. In the input area, any one of the AP server 401, the Web server 402, and the DB server 403 is selectively enabled, and the type of the enabled type of the construction target is the type of the construction target device in step S001. Is accepted as input.

The setting information input area 410 includes a common item input field 411 and a non-common item input field 412. In the common item input field 411, the setting item and the set value of the common setting are grayed out and displayed. In addition, change input values are accepted for the setting values of the setting items of the common settings. When the change input value is accepted in the setting value displayed in the common item input field 411, active confirmation about the change such as "I am trying to change the common item. Do you really want to continue inputting?" The required warning message is output. In addition, the change input value accepts only half-width alphanumeric characters, does not accept input of full-width characters such as hiragana and katakana, and displays a warning that it is full-width characters at the time of input.

In the non-common item input field 412, the setting item and the setting value of the non-common setting are displayed. In addition, change input values are accepted for the setting values of the setting items of non-common settings.

When the construction instruction input area 420 receives the input, the input to the setting information input area 410 is confirmed, and the process of step S006 is started. However, if the change input value is not input to the setting value displayed in the non-common item input field 412 and the input is made in the construction instruction input area 420, "The non-common item has not been changed. Really input. A warning message is printed asking you to actively confirm that you are not making any changes, such as "Do you want to continue?" In addition, the change input value accepts only half-width alphanumeric characters, does not accept input of full-width characters such as hiragana and katakana, and displays a warning that it is full-width characters at the time of input.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flow of the construction process. The construction process is carried out following step S006 of the construction preparation process.

First, the construction unit 126 constructs the server device using the construction instruction information (step S101). Specifically, the construction unit 126 applies the configuration management tool to the construction target device 300 to construct the environment by using the construction instruction information created in step S006 of the construction preparation process.

Then, the setting collection unit 122 collects the set value from the construction target device 300 that has been constructed (step S102). The setting collection unit 122 stores the set values collected in the construction result information storage unit 115. Then, the construction result reporting unit 127 compares with the construction instruction information and displays it so that correction input can be performed (step S103). When the correction value is not input to the set value collected from the built target device 300 (in the case of "No" in step S104), the construction result reporting unit 127 ends the construction process.

When a correction value is input to the set value collected from the built target device 300 (in the case of "Yes" in step S104), the construction result reporting unit 127 accepts the correction input and gives a construction instruction. The information creation unit 125 is made to recreate the construction instruction information (step S105). Then, the construction result reporting unit 127 returns the control to step S101.

The above is the flow of the construction process. According to the construction process, it is possible to manage the work of increasing / decreasing the capacity of the device in the existing environment.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an output example of the construction result screen. On the construction result screen 500, an AP server 501, a Web server 502, a DB server 503, a setting information output / input area 510, and an end instruction area, which are output-only areas for selectively displaying the type of the device to be built, are displayed. 520 and the correction reflection instruction area 521 are included. In the output-only area, any one of the AP server 501, the Web server 502, and the DB server 503 is selectively enabled and displayed.

The setting information output / input area 510 includes a common item output column 511, a non-common item output column 512, a common item construction result column 513, and a non-common item construction result column 516. In addition, when the common item construction result column 513 contains a setting value inconsistent with the common item output column 511, the setting item 515 is highlighted (displayed in white) and a caution mark 514 indicating that there is an error is also displayed. Will be done. The same applies to the non-common item construction result column 516.

Further, the common item construction result column 513 and the non-common item construction result column 516 accept the change input of the set value. That is, as soon as an incorrect setting is found, the input of the correct value for correction can be accepted.

When an input is received in the correction reflection instruction area 521, the construction instruction information is recreated using the change input of the set value received by the common item construction result column 513 and the non-common item construction result column 516, and the construction target is recreated. The device 300 is constructed.

When the input is received in the end instruction area 520, the construction result screen ends.
