  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of the material collection system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The material collection system 10 includes a target server 100 that is a material collection target and a client 110 that performs various instructions related to material collection. The target server 100 and the client 110 are communicably connected via a wired or wireless communication line.

  Here, each of the target server 100 and the client 110 is a computer having at least a storage device (not shown) that stores a program and a central control device that reads and executes the program from the storage device.

  Further, the target server 100 holds materials in a storage device (not shown).

  Here, the material is typically various pieces of data that contribute to the investigation of the log information such as the event log and error log of the target server 100, and the operating status and failure contents of the target server 100. The material may be any data collected for various purposes other than the survey purpose.

  The target server 100 includes a control unit 101, a reference value storage unit 102, and a collection unit 103.

  The collection unit 103 reads a material held in a storage device (not shown) of the target server 100 and executes a process of transferring the material to a predetermined transfer destination (hereinafter, a material collection process). The collection unit 103 starts or stops the execution of the material collection process in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 101 described later.

  The reference value storage means 102 is a means for holding a reference value indicating the execution condition of the material collection process.

  Here, the reference value will be described with reference to FIG. The reference value is data including a reference value name, a threshold value, and an ON / OFF flag.

  The reference value name is information that identifies the type of parameter for measuring the load on the target server 100. The parameters here are typically a CPU usage rate, a memory usage rate, a network load, and the like.

  The threshold value is a value that indicates what value the parameter specified by the reference value name should be executed or stopped when.

  The ON / OFF flag is a value indicating whether the parameter specified by the reference value name is used for determining whether to execute or stop the data collection process (when ON) or not (when OFF).

  The reference value storage means 102 can hold the plurality of reference values by storing them in, for example, a reference value table as shown in FIG.

  The control unit 101 communicates with the client 110 to perform processing for holding the reference value in the reference value storage unit 102, changing the held reference value, and notifying the client 110 of the current reference value. Further, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the material collection process can be executed based on the reference value stored in the reference value storage unit 102, and performs a process for instructing the collection unit 103 to execute or stop the material collection process.

  The client 110 includes an instruction unit 111.

  The instructing unit 111 communicates with the control unit 101 of the target server 100 to perform processing for acquiring the current reference value, processing for instructing setting or changing of the reference value, and processing for instructing stop of the material collection processing. The instruction unit 111 also performs processing for receiving an input of the instruction by the engineer.

  Here, each of the above means is a logical means realized by the central control device executing a predetermined process according to a program stored in a storage device (not shown) of the target server 100 or the client 110.

  Next, the function of the material collection system 10 and the operation for realizing the function will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

  The material collection system 10 has (1) a function for setting or changing a reference value, (2) a function for executing a material collection process autonomously based on the reference value, and (3) arbitrarily stopping a material collection process being executed. (4) a function related to when the reference value is set or changed during execution of the data collection process, and (5) a function of autonomously restarting the stopped data collection process. Hereinafter, these functions will be described in order.

(1) Function for Setting or Changing the Reference Value In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the instruction means 111 and the control means 101 communicate to change the reference value for which the reference value is set or set in the reference value storage means 102. Is shown.

S101: Display current reference value When the instruction unit 111 is activated in the client 110, the instruction unit 111 acquires the current reference value and displays it on a display device (not shown) of the client 110. When there are a plurality of reference values, the plurality of reference values can be displayed. The engineer can edit the reference value by an input / output device (not shown).

  Here, the current reference value can be acquired and displayed when the instructing unit 111 stores the reference value that was set or changed at the previous execution of this function. Further, when the reference value that has been previously set or changed is not stored, such as at the first activation, the control unit 101 can be requested to transmit the current reference value, and the reference value received from the control unit 101 can be displayed. In the latter case, the control unit 101 can acquire all the current reference values from the reference value storage unit 102 and transmit them to the instruction unit 111 in response to a request from the instruction unit 111.

S102: Input of setting or changing reference value The instructing unit 111 receives an input by an engineer for setting or changing the current reference value.

  For example, the instruction unit 111 can change the state of the ON / OFF flag of a predetermined reference value in accordance with an input by an engineer. Here, when the ON / OFF flag is set to ON, the reference value is used to determine whether to execute or stop the data collection process (details will be described later). On the other hand, when it is set to OFF, the reference value is not used for the determination.

In addition, the instruction unit 111 can set or change a threshold value of a predetermined reference value according to an input by an engineer. The threshold value set or changed here is used when determining whether to execute or stop the data collection process (details will be described later) based on the reference value.
S103: Determine setting or change of reference value The instructing unit 111 determines the content of setting or changing in S102 in response to a predetermined trigger, for example, pressing of the “decision” button by an engineer. That is, the setting or changing content of the reference value is transferred to the process of S104.

S104: Transmission of Reference Value The instruction unit 111 transmits the setting or change contents of the reference value determined in S103 to the control unit 101. Here, the instruction unit 101 may transmit only the set or changed reference value as the reference value setting or change content, or may transmit only the set or changed reference value. Alternatively, all reference values may be transmitted.

S <b> 105: Reception of Reference Value The control unit 101 receives the setting or change content of the reference value from the instruction unit 111.

S106: Registration of Reference Value The control means 101 registers the reference value setting or change contents received in S105 in the reference value storage means 102. As a result, the reference value held by the reference value storage unit 102 is updated.

(2) Function for autonomously collecting data based on reference value In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the control means 101 autonomously collects data based on the reference value held by the reference value storage means 102. A process for determining whether or not the process can be executed and causing the collection unit 103 to execute a data collection process is shown.

S201: Confirmation of execution status of material collection process The control unit 101 can start this process when the process (1) is completed.

  The control unit 101 first acquires the execution status of the material collection process. The execution status of the data collection process is information indicating whether or not the data collection process is already being executed. Here, acquisition of the execution status of the material collection process can be realized by using various known methods for acquiring the execution status of the program.

  If the data collection process is already being executed, the control unit 101 branches to a function relating to the case where a reference value is set or changed during the execution of the (4) data collection process described later. On the other hand, if not yet executed, the process branches to S202 described later.

S202: Acquisition of Parameters The control unit 101 acquires parameters (CPU usage rate, memory usage rate, network load, etc.) indicating the load status of the target server 100 from the target server 100. Here, the control unit 101 refers to the reference value storage unit 102 before acquiring the parameter, and acquires only the parameter specified by the reference value name of the reference value whose ON / OFF flag is set to ON. be able to. The parameter acquisition can be executed using various known methods.

  As an example, a case where the reference value storage unit 102 holds a reference value A in which the reference value name is the CPU usage rate, the threshold value is 80%, and the ON / OFF flag is ON will be described. In this case, the control means 101 first extracts a reference value for which the ON / OFF flag is set to ON. Here, the reference value A is extracted. Next, the control means 101 refers to the reference value name of the extracted reference value A. Finally, the control unit 101 acquires the parameter specified by the reference value name, that is, the CPU usage rate from the target server 100.

S203: Judgment of Execution of Material Collection Processing The control unit 101 refers to the reference value storage unit 102 and acquires the reference value.

  Next, the control means 101, among the acquired reference values, the parameter specified by the reference value threshold value for which the ON / OFF flag is set to ON and the reference value name of the reference value (acquired in S202). And whether or not the material collection process can be executed.

  Here, the above determination can be performed by various methods. For example, a condition determination such as whether the parameter exceeds a threshold value or whether the parameter is equal to or less than the threshold value is performed, and when this condition determination is a predetermined result, for example, YES or NO, the material collection process is performed. It can be determined that it is feasible.

  Here, the determination method may be different for each reference value. The control means 101 may hold in advance as an internal algorithm which method should be used for a certain reference value. Alternatively, information indicating the type of determination method may be included as part of the reference value, and the control unit 101 may specify the determination method according to this information.

  As an example, only the reference value A in which the reference value name is the CPU usage rate, the threshold value is 80%, and the ON / OFF flag is ON is held in the reference value storage unit 102, and in step S202, the control unit 101 The case where the acquired parameter (CPU usage rate) is 70% will be described. In this case, the control means 101 compares the threshold value 80% of the reference value A with the actual CPU usage rate 70%. Here, regarding the CPU usage rate, it is assumed that the data collection process can be executed when the parameter is equal to or less than the threshold value. As a result of the comparison, since the parameter is equal to or less than the threshold value, the control unit 101 determines that the material collection process can be executed.

  When there are a plurality of reference values for which the ON / OFF flag is set to ON, the control unit 101 determines whether the material collection processing can be executed for each of the reference values, and the reference values of those reference values are determined. When a positive determination is made for all, the material collection process can be executed.

S204: Waiting for a certain time When it is determined in S203 that the material collection process cannot be executed, the control unit 101 waits for a certain time and then executes the process of S202 again.

S205: Execution of the Material Collection Process When it is determined in S203 that the material collection process can be executed, the control unit 101 instructs the collection unit 103 to execute the material collection process.

  When the collection unit 103 receives the instruction from the control unit 101, the collection unit 103 executes a material collection process. That is, the material held in the storage device (not shown) of the target server 100 is read and transferred to a predetermined transfer destination.

(3) Function for arbitrarily stopping the data collection process being executed The flowchart in FIG. 5 shows a process in which the instruction unit 111 and the control unit 101 stop the data collection process being executed in response to an instruction from the engineer.

S301: Inquiry about execution status of material collection processing The instructing unit 111 inquires of the control unit 101 whether or not the material collection processing is being executed.

S302: Confirmation of execution status of data collection process The control unit 101 acquires the execution status of the data collection process in response to the inquiry received in S301. Here, acquisition of the execution status can be realized using various known methods for acquiring the execution status of the program.

  The control unit 101 notifies the instruction unit 111 whether or not the material collection process is being executed based on the acquisition result.

S303: Enabling suspension instruction When the data collection process is being executed, the instruction unit 111 allows the engineer to instruct a suspension. For example, a button for instructing a pause is displayed on the display device.

S304: Detection of pause instruction The instruction unit 111 attempts to detect a pause instruction.

S 305: Transmission of pause instruction The instruction unit 111 transmits a pause instruction to the control unit 101.

S306: Reception of pause instruction The control unit 101 receives a pause instruction from the instruction unit 111.

S307: Pause instruction The control unit 101 instructs the collection unit 103 to pause the material collection process.
Upon receiving the above instruction, the collection unit stops the data collection process being executed.

(4) Function related to the case where the reference value is set or changed during execution of the data collection process This function is used when the reference value is changed by the engineer during execution of the data collection process, and according to the changed reference value When the judgment result of whether or not the collection process can be executed is covered, the data collection process being executed is stopped.

  As an example, a case where the reference value name of the reference value A is initially the CPU usage rate, the threshold value is 80%, the ON / OFF flag is ON, and the parameter (CPU usage rate) is 70% will be described. As for the CPU usage rate, it is assumed that the material collection process can be executed when the parameter is equal to or less than the threshold value. In this case, since the parameter (70%) is initially equal to or less than the threshold value (80%), the control unit 101 instructs the execution of the material collection process. However, it is assumed that the threshold value of the reference value A is changed to 60% by the engineer during execution of the material collection process. At this point, the parameter (70%) exceeds the threshold value (60%), and the executable condition for the material collection process is no longer satisfied. According to this function, it is possible to immediately stop the data collection process being executed when such a situation occurs.

  The flowchart in FIG. 6 shows a process to be executed by the control unit 101 when the reference value is set or changed during the execution of the material collection process.

S401: Acquisition of Parameters Similar to S202 above, the control unit 101 acquires parameters indicating the load status of the target server 100 from the target server 100.

S402: Judgment of Execution of Execution of Material Collection Process Similar to S203 above, the control means 101 refers to the reference value storage means 102 and acquires a reference value. Next, the control means 101, among the acquired reference values, the parameter specified by the reference value threshold value for which the ON / OFF flag is set to ON and the reference value name of the reference value (acquired in S202). And whether or not the material collection process can be executed.

S403: Instruction to Continue Execution of Material Collection Process When it is determined in S402 that the material collection process can be executed, the control unit 101 instructs the collection unit 103 to continue execution of the material collection process. Alternatively, execution may be continued without giving any instruction.

S404: Pause instruction When it is determined in S402 that the material collection process cannot be executed, the control unit 101 instructs the collection unit 103 to pause the material collection process.

  When the collection unit 103 receives the above instruction, the collection unit 103 stops the data collection process being executed.

(5) Function for autonomously restarting the stopped data collection process The flowchart of FIG. 7 is for automatically restarting the data collection process after the data collection process is stopped by the function (3) or (4), for example. Processing is shown.

S501: Acquisition of Parameter Similar to S202 above, the control unit 101 acquires a parameter indicating the load status of the target server 100 from the target server 100.

S502: Determination of Execution of Execution of Material Collection Process Similar to S203, the control unit 101 refers to the reference value storage unit 102 and acquires a reference value. Next, the control means 101, among the acquired reference values, the parameter specified by the reference value threshold value for which the ON / OFF flag is set to ON and the reference value name of the reference value (acquired in S202). And whether or not the material collection process can be executed.

S503: Waiting for a certain time When it is determined in S502 that the material collection process cannot be executed, the control unit 101 waits for a certain time and then executes the process of S501 again.

S504: Instruction to resume execution of material collection process When it is determined in S502 that the material collection process can be executed, the control unit 101 instructs the collection unit 103 to resume execution of the material collection process.

  When the collection unit 103 receives the instruction, the collection unit 103 resumes execution of the stopped material collection process. Here, the collection unit 103 stores an execution point when the material collection process is stopped, and can execute the material collection process from this execution point when restarting. Alternatively, the data collection process can be executed again from the beginning.

  According to the present embodiment, the material collection system 10 (1) can set or change the contents of one or more reference values individually by the function of setting or changing the reference values, and which reference value is collected It can be individually set whether it should be used for the determination of whether or not to execute. Therefore, even after the reference value is set once, the content of the reference value can be changed flexibly and finely when necessary according to changes in the usage status and operation policy of the target server 100 and accumulation of operation know-how. .

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the material collection system 10 (2) the reference value set by the engineer and the load status of the target server 100 by the function of executing the material collection process autonomously based on the reference value. Based on the above, it is possible to continuously determine whether or not to execute the material collection process, and to start the process autonomously when the execution start condition is satisfied. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which an excessive load is applied to the target server 10 by the data collection process, or the data collection process cannot be executed due to a lack of resources. In addition, since the material collection process can be started immediately when the load on the target server 10 becomes below a certain level, the material can be collected quickly, which can contribute to the early solution of a failure. In addition, since the material collection process is automatically started, it is not necessary for the engineer to stand by until a time zone such as midnight when the load on the target server 10 is less than a certain level and the start of the material collection process is instructed.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the material collection system 10 (3) arbitrarily stops the data collection even during the execution of the material collection process by the function of arbitrarily stopping the data collection process being executed. can do. Therefore, even if the load on the target server 10 increases due to some reason such as execution of other processes during the data collection process, the data collection process can be temporarily stopped to reduce the load on the target server 10. .

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the material collection system 10 uses the function related to (4) when the reference value is set or changed during the execution of the material collection process, so that the content of any reference value can be included in the material collection process. Can be changed. Thereby, for example, an engineer can intervene in a conscious data collection process such as searching for an appropriate threshold value while observing the load status of the target server 10.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the material collection system 10 performs the material collection process stopped by the functions (3) and (4) described above by (5) the function of autonomously resuming the stopped material collection process. In response to a change in the load status of the target server 10, it can be restarted. Thereby, even if the data collection process is stopped for some reason, the data collection process can be completed to the end. Further, since the data collection process can be intermittently performed using the timing when the load status of the target server 10 is below a certain level, the efficiency of the data collection process can be improved.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the material collection system 10 has been described as having all the functions (1) to (5), but this is not necessarily the case, for example, among the functions (1) to (5). One or more arbitrary functions may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the parameters (the CPU usage rate, the memory usage rate, the network load, etc.) indicating the load status of the target server 100 are assumed as the parameters that the control unit 101 acquires from the target server 100. However, the parameter may be any value as long as it is a value that can be used to determine whether or not the material collection process can be executed. For example, time can be used as a parameter. In this case, the reference value storage means 102 can hold a reference value record with reference value name = time, threshold = predetermined time or time zone. At this time, the control unit 101 acquires the system time of the target server 100 as a parameter, and the acquired system time is after the time defined in the reference value or included in the time zone defined in the reference value. In some cases, the data collection process can be configured to start.

  In the above-described embodiment, in steps S203, S402, and S502, the control unit 101 determines that the reference value (more specifically, the threshold value) stored in the reference value storage unit 102 and the parameters of the target server 100 are stored. To determine whether or not the data collection process can be executed. However, in addition to this determination, the control unit 101 executes the second determination on the condition of time, and determines that the material collection processing can be executed in both the determination by the parameter and the second determination. The collection process may be started. Here, the second determination can be executed as follows, for example. The control means 101 acquires the system time of the target server 100 and executes the material collection process when the acquired system time is after the predefined time or is included in the predefined time zone. Judge that it is possible. Here, the time zone after the predefined time or the predefined time can be stored in advance in any storage means (not shown). For example, it can be stored in the reference value storage means 102 as a special reference value that is referred to only in the second determination.

  As described above, by adding time to the determination element of whether or not to execute the material collection process, the material collection system 10 can perform a material collection operation without the operator being restricted by time. Will be further strengthened.

  In the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been described as mainly configured by hardware. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any constituent element or process is assigned to a CPU (Central Processing Unit). It can also be realized by executing a computer program. In this case, the computer program can be stored and provided to the computer using various types of non-transitory computer readable media. Non-transitory computer readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (for example, flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (for example, magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / W, semiconductor memory (for example, mask ROM, PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, RAM (Random Access Memory)). The program may also be supplied to the computer by various types of transitory computer readable media. Examples of transitory computer readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire and an optical fiber, or a wireless communication path.
