Description

  The present invention relates to an information analysis apparatus, an information analysis method, an information analysis system, and a program that collect and analyze hardware and software information of each information processing apparatus.

  Computers are widely used not only in companies but also at home. Users' computer operating skills have also improved dramatically. On the other hand, the boundary between computer operations in a company and computer operations at home has become ambiguous in terms of user awareness. For example, there are an increasing number of cases where a user uses a computer in a company for purposes other than business. There are also cases where an application uniquely found on the Internet by a user is installed / uninstalled without obtaining the administrator's permission. Further, a hardware device purchased by a user may be connected to a computer in a company without obtaining permission from an administrator.

  As such private use progresses, the incidence of computer failures will increase and computer viruses may be allowed to enter. Increasing security risks not only increases the burden on computer administrators, but may also reduce corporate compliance. Therefore, the administrator performs computer management using a system that collects and browses system resources (hardware and software) of each computer. According to Patent Document 1, it is proposed to search for definition body information related to a cause of a decrease in system performance from a system operation log and software definition body information and to output it to a terminal screen. Administrators can organize and provide information necessary for operational evaluation through interactive conversation.

JP 2000-235499 A

  According to Patent Document 1, since time-series information for an administrator to perform operation evaluation is displayed on the screen, there is an advantage that the administrator can easily perform operation evaluation. Specifically, the free capacity of the magnetic disk is displayed in time series (FIG. 5), or the operation time of each job is displayed in time series (FIG. 7).

  On the other hand, there is a “software distribution function” as an important function in the management of computer assets in a company. This is a function for forcibly installing software on each terminal. However, there are many computers in the company, and the stability of each computer varies depending on the degree of private use of the user, so sometimes software is forcibly installed on a system-unstable terminal It may be done. In such a case, a memory shortage or a hard disk space shortage may occur, or a conflict between applications may occur. If such a hardware instability factor or a software instability factor can be grasped in advance, the administrator will be able to easily distribute the software only to a stable terminal. Therefore, if the stability of each terminal can be easily evaluated from the viewpoint of system resources, it is considered that the burden on the administrator is reduced.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve at least one of such problems and other problems. For example, an object of the present invention is to provide an information analysis apparatus that provides an analysis result that allows an administrator to easily grasp the stability of each information processing apparatus from the viewpoint of system resources. Other issues can be understood throughout the specification.

  According to the present invention, a table in which a plurality of system resource information indicating hardware resources and software resources included in an information processing device and weighting information corresponding to each of the plurality of system resource information are registered, and information processing An acquisition means for acquiring system resource information of the information processing apparatus from the apparatus through a network or a portable recording medium, and an extraction means for extracting weighting information corresponding to the system resource information of the information processing apparatus acquired by the acquisition means from the table And an analysis means for analyzing the stability of the operation of the information processing apparatus by integrating the weighting information extracted by the extraction means.

  According to the present invention, since the stability of the operation of each information processing apparatus is provided as an analysis result, the administrator can easily grasp the stability of the operation of each information processing apparatus. As a result, it is expected that it will be easier for the administrator to decide whether it is okay to distribute additional software.

<First embodiment>
In the first embodiment, each information processing apparatus collects system resource information and inputs the collected system resource information to the management server. As a result, the system stability can be easily analyzed by the management server using the system resource information.

(System configuration)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an information analysis system. The information analysis system includes a plurality of terminal devices 11 a and 11 b and a management server 12. The terminal devices 11a and 11b are examples of terminals (information processing devices) arranged in a company. The management server 12 is an information analysis device that analyzes a plurality of system resource information indicating hardware resources and software resources included in each terminal device and provides the stability of each terminal device as an analysis result. These devices are connected via various networks 50 such as an intranet including a LAN (Local Area Network) and the Internet. When the matters common to the terminal devices 11a and 11b are described, they are simply referred to as the terminal device 11. The management server 12 may be arranged in a company where the terminal device 11 is installed, or may be arranged in another company. The terminal device 11 includes a mobile terminal.

  The terminal device 11 includes a monitoring unit 13 and a software installation unit 14. The monitoring unit 13 functions as a generation unit that monitors hardware resources and software resources provided in the terminal device 11 and generates system resource information indicating the hardware resources and software resources. The software installation unit 14 functions as an installation unit that installs the software resource distributed from the management server 12 into the storage device of the terminal device 11.

The system resource information includes, for example, the following.
Hardware information: For example, CPU name and number, HDD / SDD maximum storage capacity, memory maximum storage capacity, I / O type and number, interface (IF) type (SCSI IF, PCI IF, (USB IF, PCMCIA IF, SD card IF, serial IF, parallel IF, network IF, infrared communication IF, Bluetooth IF) and information indicating the number, etc. For example, HDD / SDD free space, memory Free space, CPU usage, registry file itself, installed application program name and version, service name, file name stored in the System32 folder, driver name and version, OS version, browser name And version, email Name and version of Futouea, ActiveX version, antivirus software name and version, such as ODBC information)
-Terminal device name: PC name such as computer name and MAC address and user name (login user ID)-Domain name: Domain name of the network to which the information processing device is connected-Collection date and time- -Date and time data created by the monitoring unit 13 for system resource information, etc.-Number of registered applications set for startup-information indicating the number of programs executed when the information processing device is started-System drive ( HDD / SDD) Free space ratio (%)
Number of application installations: information indicating the number of programs installed in the information processing apparatus that are different from the programs constituting the operating system of the information processing apparatus, etc. System resource information is acquired periodically (eg, every day) and transmitted to the management server 12. Note that the timing for transmitting the system resource information to the management server 12 has various conditions such as a predetermined time (for example, every 4 hours), a timing at which the terminal device 11 is activated, and a timing at which a transmission request is received from the management server 12. It can be set arbitrarily by the administrator.

  The management server 12 includes a system resource information DB 15, a stability definition table 16, a stability determination unit 17, a stability determination result DB 18, and distribution software 19. DB is an abbreviation for database. The CPU (central processing unit) of the management server 12 records the system resource information received from the terminal device 11 in the system resource information DB 15 for each terminal device or each user. The monitoring unit 13 of the terminal device 11 may record the system resource information on a portable external recording medium (FD, MO, USB memory, CD-R, DVD-RAM, Blu-ray disc, etc.). In this case, the management server 12 acquires system resource information through a drive device that reads information from the recording medium.

  The stability definition table 16 is a table in which a plurality of system resource information and weighting information corresponding to each of the plurality of system resource information are registered. Any means other than a table such as a function or a program may be adopted as long as it can convert or convert the system resource information into weighting information. This is because these means can also be easily replaced with a table.

  The stability determination unit 17 functions as an extraction unit that extracts weighting information corresponding to system resource information acquired from the terminal device 11 through a network or a portable recording medium from the stability definition table 16. Furthermore, the stability determination unit 17 functions as an analysis unit that integrates the extracted weighting information and outputs the stability of the operation of the information processing apparatus as an analysis result. The stability determination unit 17 records the analysis result in the stability determination result DB 18 for each terminal device or for each user.

  The distribution software 19 is a software resource distributed to the terminal device 11 according to the analysis result recorded in the stability determination result DB 18. Distributed software resources include newly added application programs and programs for updating or upgrading existing application programs.

(Hardware configuration)
FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the terminal device 11. The terminal device 11 is an information processing device such as a personal computer disposed in an office or the like. In the terminal device 11, the CPU 21 functions as various means according to software stored in the hard disk drive (HDD 25). In particular, the CPU 21 functions as the monitoring unit 13 and the software installation unit 14 described above. The display device 22 is a user interface for displaying information. The memory 23 includes RAM, ROM, and the like. The network interface 24 is a communication circuit for communicating with other computers via the network 50. The HDD 25 stores an application program 27, a monitoring program 28 for realizing the monitoring unit 13, and the like. The input unit 26 is a pointing device (mouse or touch panel) or a keyboard.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the management server 12. The management server 12 is also a kind of computer. In the management server 12, the CPU 41 functions as various means according to software stored in the hard disk drive (HDD 45). The memory 43 includes RAM, ROM, and the like. The network interface 44 is a communication circuit for communicating with other computers via the network 50. The HDD 45 stores an OS (operating system), an analysis program 47, a system resource information DB 15, a stability definition table 16, a stability determination result DB 18, distribution software 19, and a distribution skip list. The output unit 46 is a display device or a printing device that outputs analysis results.

  A ROM that is a part of the memory 43 is a read-only memory, and stores setting data, a boot program, and the like. The RAM which is a part of the memory 43 is a writable memory, and temporarily stores computer programs and data loaded from the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 45, data received from the outside via the network interface 44, and the like. Have an area. Further, the RAM has a work area used when the CPU 41 executes various processes. Part or all of the HDD 45 may be realized by an SDD (silicon disk drive).

  In the present embodiment, the terminal device 11 and the management server 12 are described as being computers having the configurations illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B, but the configuration of the computer is not limited to such configurations. For example, when the terminal device 11 is a mobile terminal, the HDD 25 may be realized by the memory 23.

(System resource information database)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of recorded contents of system asset information in the first embodiment of the present invention. The system resource information transmitted from the terminal device 11 to the management server 12 is recorded in the system resource information DB 15. The PC name column 301 stores terminal device identification information (PC name, user name, etc.) extracted from the system resource information. The domain name column 302 stores the domain name extracted from the system resource information. The collection date / time column 303 stores data of the collection date / time extracted from the system resource information. The free memory size column 304 stores free space data of the RAM extracted from the system resource information. The application registration count column 305 stores data on the registration count of applications set to be started at startup from the system resource information. As the number of registered applications increases, memory shortages are likely to occur. In the free space field 306 of the system drive, free space data of the system drive extracted from the system resource information is stored. Generally, a computer includes a plurality of drives, of which an OS and application programs are stored in a system drive. Therefore, when the free space of the system drive is insufficient, the operation of the computer tends to become unstable.

  Still other information may be registered in the system resource information DB 15. For example, other information may be registered as long as the information is useful for evaluating the stability of the operation of the terminal device 11 such as the CPU specifications extracted from the system resource information. Further, each piece of information shown in FIG. 3 is not essential, and not all of them are necessarily required. This is because the minimum information necessary for evaluating the stability of the operation of the terminal device 11 is sufficient for the present invention.

(Stability evaluation process in the management server)
Processing for analyzing the stability of the system in the management server 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 6. The CPU 41 of the management server 12 executes this analysis processing according to the analysis program 47.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the stability evaluation process executed by the management server 12 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The stability evaluation process is executed by the stability determination unit 17 (the CPU 41 of the management server 12).

  In S401, the CPU 41 reads the system resource information recorded in the system resource information DB 15. That is, in this way, the CPU 41 functions as an acquisition unit that acquires the system resource information of the information processing apparatus from the information processing apparatus through a network or a portable recording medium. It is assumed that system resource information received via a network and system resource information read from a portable recording medium are registered in advance in the system resource information DB 15. The system resource information reading unit is set for the CPU 41 by the administrator through the input unit, such as for each user, for each group, for a predetermined period. A group is composed of a plurality of users and a plurality of terminal devices. That is, group identification information indicating a group and user identification information of a user belonging to the group (terminal identification information of a terminal device belonging to the group) are managed in advance by a table or the like. The CPU 41 extracts from the table the user identification information of the users belonging to the group and the terminal identification information of the terminal device from the group identification information designated or selected by the administrator, and the system resource information DB 15 based on the extracted information. Search for. The predetermined period indicates another collection date and time from a certain collection date and time. The predetermined period is designated or selected by the administrator and is set in the CPU 41. If the reading of the system resource information is successful, the process proceeds to S402.

  In S402, the CPU 41 determines whether there is an unprocessed record among the extracted records of the system resource information. If there is an unprocessed record, the process proceeds to S403. When there is no unprocessed record, the CPU 41 proceeds to S409.

  In S403, the CPU 41 reads an unprocessed record from the system resource information DB 15.

  In S <b> 404, the CPU 41 acquires weighting information corresponding to the system resource information included in the read record from the stability definition table 16. In this way, the CPU 41 functions as an extraction unit that extracts weighting information corresponding to the system resource information of the information processing apparatus acquired by the acquisition unit from the table.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a stability definition table in the first embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the stability definition table 16 includes three sub tables 501, 502, and 503. In each subtable, items constituting system resource information and weighting information (points) are registered in association with each other. For example, assume that each item in the system resource information is the following data.
・ Number of application registrations for startup ・ ・ ・ ・ 7 ・ Number of installed applications other than OS standard ・ 13 ・ HDD free space ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・15%
Here, the number of application registrations for startup is the number of programs executed when the information processing apparatus is activated. The number of application installations other than the OS standard is the number of programs installed in the information processing apparatus that are different from the programs constituting the operating system of the information processing apparatus. For example, this is the number of application programs installed by an administrator or user. The free capacity of the HDD (system drive) is the free capacity of a storage device that is provided in the information processing apparatus and stores a program. In the case of such an exemplary value, the CPU 41 determines points from the sub-tables 501, 502, and 503 of the stability definition table 16 as follows.
・ Number of application registrations for startup ・ 2 points ・ Number of installed applications other than OS standard ・ 3 points ・ HDD free space ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ 2 Point In S <b> 405, the CPU 41 integrates the weighting information determined based on the stability definition table 16. For example, if the weighting information is a numerical value as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU 41 calculates the sum by adding points corresponding to the items of the system information. The CPU 41 may execute another integration process. For example, the CPU 41 may multiply the number corresponding to the item by a value (weighting coefficient) corresponding to the weighting information and obtain the sum of the products. In this way, other calculation methods may be employed as long as the stability can be evaluated. Note that the CPU 41 functions as a sum total calculating unit that calculates the sum of points indicated by the plurality of weighting information respectively corresponding to the plurality of system resource information acquired by the acquiring unit.

  In S406, the CPU 41 analyzes or evaluates the integration result to determine the stability of the system. The stability can be determined based on, for example, a comprehensive evaluation list stored in advance in the HDD 45. As described above, the CPU 41 functions as an analysis unit that analyzes the stability of the operation of the information processing apparatus by integrating the weighting information extracted by the extraction unit.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a comprehensive evaluation example of stability in the first embodiment of the present invention. In the comprehensive evaluation list 600, a sum (total points) and stability evaluation data are registered in association with each other. The CPU 41 acquires stability evaluation data corresponding to the calculated total points from the total evaluation list 600. For example, if the total point is 7 points, the evaluation value is determined as “slightly stable”. The evaluation data may be a numerical value or an index such as ABC. Other types of data may be used as long as the evaluation data is such that the administrator or the CPU 41 can determine the terminal device 11 to which software is to be distributed. Of course, the total points may be used as evaluation data as they are. Thus, the CPU 41 functions as a conversion unit that converts the sum calculated by the sum calculation unit into stability.

  In S407, the CPU 41 stores stability evaluation data, which is an analysis result, in the stability determination result DB 18. The analysis result is stored in association with terminal identification information such as the network address of the terminal device 11. This is to make the network address available for software distribution. In S408, the CPU 41 tries to read the next record. Thereafter, the process returns to S402. In S409, the CPU 41 outputs the analysis result from the output unit 46.

(Software distribution processing on the management server)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of software distribution processing executed by the management server 12 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The management server 12 distributes software according to the system stability of each terminal device 11. The CPU 41 of the management server 12 executes this distribution processing according to the analysis program 47.

  In S <b> 701, the CPU 41 reads stability data (total points and evaluation data) of each terminal device from the stability determination result DB 18. Note that the reading unit can be freely set by the administrator, such as a user unit or a group unit.

  In S702, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the stability of the system of each terminal device is good. For example, the CPU 41 determines whether the stability satisfies a distribution permission condition predetermined by the administrator. The distribution permission condition includes, for example, that the total point is “30” or less, and that the stability evaluation result is “normal” or more. If the stability satisfies the distribution permission condition, the process proceeds to S703. Thus, the CPU 41 functions as a determination unit that determines whether the stability determined by the analysis unit satisfies a predetermined condition.

  In step S <b> 703, the CPU 41 reads the distribution software 19 from the HDD 45 and transmits it from the network interface 44 to the corresponding terminal device 11. The terminal 41 also obtains terminal identification information such as a network address necessary for transmitting the distribution software 19 from the system resource information DB 15 or the stability determination result DB 18. As described above, the CPU 41 and the network interface 44 function as a transmission unit that transmits software resources to an information processing apparatus whose stability is determined to satisfy a predetermined condition.

  On the other hand, if the stability does not satisfy the distribution permission condition, the process proceeds to S704. In S <b> 704, the CPU 41 registers the terminal identification information of the terminal device that has not distributed the software due to unstable system operation in the distribution skip list. As described above, the CPU 41 functions as a registration unit that registers, in the list, identification information of an information processing apparatus that has been determined that the stability does not satisfy a predetermined condition.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the management server 12 functions as an information analysis device, so that the stability of the operation of the information processing device is provided to the administrator as an analysis result. Therefore, the administrator can easily grasp the operational stability of each information processing apparatus. In addition, the administrator can safely operate a plurality of information processing apparatuses by using the analysis result. For example, the administrator or the CPU 41 can recognize a sign of the occurrence of a failure from the analysis result, and take measures to avoid it (such as an alert display that recommends data backup) in advance via the network 50. It becomes.

  The stability of the operation of the information processing apparatus depends on the free capacity of the memory immediately after starting up. For this reason, the information indicating the number of programs executed when the information processing apparatus is started is adopted as system resource information related to the software resources, so that the administrator can easily grasp the stability of the operation of the information processing apparatus. .

  Immediately after installing the OS, the operation of the information processing apparatus is generally stable. However, as an administrator or a user installs a program other than the standard program attached to the OS, the operation of the information processing apparatus tends to become unstable. Therefore, information indicating the number of programs installed in the information processing apparatus that is different from the program constituting the operating system of the information processing apparatus is one of important information for determining the stability. Become.

  The free space of the system drive also affects the operation of the information processing apparatus. In particular, when the free space in the system drive decreases, the OS and applications may not be able to write data to the system drive, and the OS may crash. Therefore, information indicating the free capacity of a storage device that stores a program, such as a system drive, that stores a program is one of important information for determining stability.

  By the way, it is desirable that the stability can be calculated as easily as possible. Therefore, if the sum of points indicated by the weighting information corresponding to the system resource information is calculated, and the calculated sum is converted into stability, the stability can be easily determined.

  In a system that distributes software to information processing apparatuses connected to a network, the CPU 41 and an administrator can use the analysis result of “stability” according to the present embodiment. For example, the administrator or the CPU 41 can easily select the terminal device to which the software is to be installed, such as not installing the software on the unstable terminal device.

Further, the CPU 41 may transmit software resources from the network interface 44 to some information processing apparatuses among the plurality of information processing apparatuses whose stability is determined to satisfy a predetermined condition. Further, the CPU 41 is the stability of the information processing apparatus that has received and installed the software resource, and the stability determined by the analysis means after installing the software resource satisfies a predetermined condition. The software resources may be transmitted to the remaining information processing apparatuses excluding some of the information processing apparatuses. In this way, the software is distributed to a certain terminal device, and the CPU 41 confirms that the terminal device is operating stably after a certain period of time. When confirming that the operation is stable, the CPU 41 distributes the software to the remaining terminal devices having a system environment similar to the terminal device. This is because there is a low possibility of problems occurring even if the same software is distributed between terminal devices having the same system environment. This makes it possible to distribute software resources to the entire network more safely. Administrators and CPUs 41 decide that users using a stable system environment are better off using the computer. It can be determined that the usage rules are complied with. For example, the CPU 41 creates a ranking for creating ranking information in which identification information of a plurality of information processing devices or identification information of a user using the information processing device is arranged according to the stability determined for each of the plurality of information processing devices. It may function as a means. Thus, if a quantitative “stable operation ranking” is created, it will be convenient for the system administrator in terms of system management.

<Second embodiment>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of the information analysis system in the second embodiment of the present invention. In the information analysis system according to the second embodiment, a collection device 20 that relays system resource information from the terminal device 11 to the management server 12 is added. In addition, about the matter which is common in 1st embodiment, description is simplified by giving the same referential mark.

  The collection device 20 is a kind of computer. In the collection device 20, the CPU 31 functions as various means according to the software stored in the hard disk drive (HDD 35). The memory 33 includes RAM, ROM, and the like. The network interface 34 is a communication circuit for communicating with other computers through the network 50. The HDD 35 stores a collection program 36.

  The CPU 31 of the collection device 20 receives the system resource information transmitted from the terminal device 11 by the network interface 34 and temporarily stores it in the HDD 35. Therefore, the CPU 31 and the HDD 35 function as storage means for receiving and storing system resource information generated in a plurality of information processing apparatuses via a network.

  The CPU 31 transmits the system resource information stored in the HDD 35 to the management server 12 at a predetermined timing. The transmission timing is a predetermined time (for example, every day), a timing at which a predetermined amount or more of system resource information is accumulated, a timing at which the collection device 20 is activated, or a timing at which a transmission request is received from the management server 12. . Thus, the CPU 31 and the network interface 44 function as transfer means for transferring the system resource information stored in the storage means to the information analysis system via the network. The management server 12 records the system resource information received from the collection device 20 in the system resource information DB 15. The analysis procedure executed by the management server 12 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the collection device 20 has a system resource information collection function corresponding to the monitoring unit 13, it is necessary to install all the functions of the monitoring unit 13 in each terminal device 11. There is an advantage to disappear.
