Description

  The present invention relates to information processing, and more particularly, to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for processing information used for display.

  The information system includes many devices such as an information processing device and a communication device. The administrator who manages the information processing system uses information about the information processing system to manage the devices included in the information processing system.

  For example, when an abnormality (incident) such as an accident occurs in the information processing system, the administrator needs to identify the cause of the incident. To identify the cause, the administrator analyzes the behavior of the information processing system. In this analysis, the administrator uses information (for example, a log or a dependency graph) related to the behavior of the information processing system (for example, see Patent Literature 1).

  One of the information on the information processing system as described above is a dependency graph. The dependency graph is a graph representing devices (nodes) included in the information processing system and connection relationships (edges) of the devices.

  The administrator can specify the cause of the incident based on the dependency graph.

  However, with the advancement of network technology, information processing systems have become very large in size. That is, the number of devices included in the information processing system is increasing. Furthermore, the connection between the devices in the information processing system is complicated. Accordingly, the dependency graph corresponding to the information processing system has a very large size and further includes a complicated structure. As a result, the time required for analyzing the dependency graph is long.

  Therefore, techniques for facilitating the analysis of the dependency graph are being studied.

  For example, the system described in Patent Literature 1 creates a log reference tree, and presents a log to be referred next based on the log reference tree. However, in the system described in Patent Document 1, when the log reference tree has a large size in the same hierarchy, information (log reference tree) used for management becomes large.

  As described above, in the invention described in Patent Literature 1, there is a problem that the management information used for managing the information processing system does not fit in a size (size) usable for management. In other words, the invention described in Patent Literature 1 has a problem that management information having a size that can be used for managing the information processing system cannot be created.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for creating management information that can be used for managing an information processing system.

  An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display source information holding unit that holds display source information to be displayed, and a request or display information for creating display information that is information created based on the display source information. Request information receiving means for receiving request information, which is a request to add information to a request, and, when display information is not retained, extracting information in a range corresponding to the request information in the display source information and displaying the extracted information using the extracted information When information is created and display information is retained, information to be added is extracted from the display source information based on the request information, and the extracted information to be added is added to the display information. Display information creating means for changing the display to a part that is connected to a connection destination included in the display source information but not included in the display information, and a part in which all the connection destinations are included in the display information to an identifiable display; , Strange And a display information output means for outputting the display information after.

  An information processing method according to one aspect of the present invention is an information processing apparatus for creating display information, wherein the information is included in a request or display information for creating display information, which is information created based on display source information to be displayed. When request information that is an additional request is received and display information is not retained, information in a range corresponding to the request information in the display source information is extracted, display information is created using the extracted information, and the display information is created. If it is retained, extract additional information from the display source information based on the request information, add the extracted additional information to the display information, and include the display in the created or added display information in the display source information The display information is changed so that a part connected to a connection destination that is not included in the display information and a part whose connection destination is all included in the display information can be identified, and the display information after the change is output.

  A program according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a process of receiving a request to create display information, which is information created based on display source information to be displayed, or a request to add information to display information. If the display information is not retained, information in a range corresponding to the request information in the display source information is extracted, display information is created using the extracted information, and when the display information is retained, based on the request information, The information to be added is extracted from the display source information, the extracted additional information is added to the display information, and the display in the display information after creation or addition is included in the display source information but not included in the display information.

<First embodiment>
Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Description of configuration]
First, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 10 includes a request information receiving unit 110, a display information creating unit 120, a display source information holding unit 130, and a display information output unit 140.

  The request information receiving unit 110 receives a request for display information output by the information processing device 10 (hereinafter, referred to as “request information”) from a predetermined request source device. Then, the request information receiving unit 110 transmits the request information to the display information creating unit 120.

  Note that the request source device is not particularly limited. For example, the request source device may be a management device operated by an administrator of the information processing system including the information processing device 10. In this case, the display information output unit 140 of the information processing apparatus 10 described later may transmit display information to the management apparatus. Then, the management device may display the received display information. In this case, the management device is an example of a display device.

  Alternatively, when the information processing device 10 includes an input device and a display device (not shown), the request source device may be an input device included in the information processing device 10. In this case, the display information output unit 140 may transmit display information to be described later to a display device included in the information processing device 10.

  The display source information holding unit 130 holds information to be displayed (hereinafter, referred to as “display source information”). As described above, in this description, the display source information holding unit 130 holds the dependency graph as the display source information.

  The display information creation unit 120 creates information (hereinafter, referred to as “display information”) used as a display on a predetermined output destination device. In the present embodiment, the data format of the display information is not particularly limited. The display information creating unit 120 may create, as the display information, data that can be displayed as it is, such as an image file. Alternatively, the display information creating unit 120 may create, as the display information, information that is a set of information (for example, the type, position, size, and color of the graphic) included in the display information.

  The detailed operation of the display information creation unit 120 is as follows.

  When the display information is not held (this corresponds to a case where the request information is first received), the display information creating unit 120 outputs the display source information held in the display source information holding unit 130 as the display information. The information in the range corresponding to the request information in is extracted.

  On the other hand, when the display information is held, the display information creating unit 120 extracts, from the display source information, information of a part connected to a part corresponding to the request information. Then, the display information creating unit 120 adds the extracted information to the display information.

  As described above, the request information is information of a request to create display information corresponding to at least a part of the display source information, or information of a request to add display information.

  Further, the display information creation unit 120 sets (changes) the display state (display format) in the display information so that the following two parts can be identified in the display information created or added with information. Hereinafter, “setting and change of display state (display format)” will be collectively referred to simply as “change of display”.

  The two parts are as follows.

First part: a part that is included in the display source information but is connected to a connection destination that is not included in the display information (hereinafter, referred to as an “additional connected part”)
Second part: a part in which all connected destinations are included in the display information (hereinafter, referred to as “no additional connection part”)
In the following description, “creation of display information”, “addition of information to display information”, and “setting of display state in display information” are collectively referred to as “creation of display information”.

  The display information creation unit 120 holds the created display information. Note that the display information creating unit 120 may hold the display information held before the above operation. That is, the display information creation unit 120 may hold a predetermined range or all histories of the display information.

  When the display information does not include the additional connection portion, the display information creation unit 120 may omit the setting (change) of the display format in the display information.

  Further, the display information creating unit 120 may create display information including all display source information (dependency graph). In this case as well, the display information does not include the additional connection portion. Therefore, the display information creation unit 120 may omit the setting (change) of the display format.

  The display information creation unit 120 transmits the created display information to the display information output unit 140.

  The operation of creating display information in the display information creating unit 120 will be described later in more detail.

  The display information output unit 140 transmits (outputs) the display information to a predetermined output destination device. Note that the output destination device may have a configuration included in the information processing device 10 as described above. For example, the display information output unit 140 may transmit the display information to the display device (not shown).

  Further, the display information output unit 140 may correct a display format (for example, a size or an image format format) in the display information according to the output destination device. Alternatively, the display information output unit 140 may execute a process of adding information to the display information or a process of deleting information from the display information, corresponding to the output destination device.

  That is, the display information output unit 140 may correct the display information to information that matches the output destination.

  As described above, the information processing device 10 receives the request information from the predetermined request source device. Then, the information processing device 10 creates display information based on the display source information (for example, the dependency graph) according to the request information. Therefore, the information processing device 10 creates display information that can be easily used for management. Then, the information processing device 10 outputs the created display information to a predetermined output destination device.

[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described.

  The information processing apparatus 10 operates roughly as follows.

  First, the request information receiving unit 110 receives request information (first request information) for creating display information.

  The display information creating unit 120 creates display information (first display information) corresponding to the request information based on the display source information (dependency graph) held in the display source information holding unit 130. The display information creation unit 120 holds the created display information. As described above, the display information creation unit 120 also performs setting (change) of the display format in the display information when creating the display information.

  Then, the display information output section 140 outputs the display information (first display information).

  After outputting the display information (first display information), the request information receiving unit 110 receives additional request information (second request information) for the display information.

  The second request information is not particularly limited as long as it includes information for requesting additional display of at least a part of the first display information.

  Further, the device that is the request source of the second request information in the information processing device 10 is not particularly limited.

  For example, the request source device (first request source device) that has transmitted the first request information receives the display information (first display information) and displays the display information (first display information). . The administrator who confirms the display inputs designation of a part (for example, a node) of the first display information whose details are desired to be confirmed to the first request source device. In response to the designation, the first request source device may transmit information requesting the detailed display (second request information) to the information processing device 10.

  Various operations can be assumed as the designated input operation detected by the first request source device. For example, the first request source device may detect an operation of touching a position of a part to be confirmed on the touch panel on which the display information is displayed. Alternatively, the first request source device may detect an operation such as a click on the displayed portion based on the operation of the connected mouse.

  However, the source device of the second request information may be different from the source device of the first request information.

  Then, the display information creating unit 120 creates display information (second display information) based on the first display information and the display source information so as to correspond to the second request information. Specifically, the display information creation unit 120 performs an operation of adding information to a part of the first display information or details the part of the first display information based on the display source information. Perform the operation to create the second display information.

  Then, the display information output section 140 outputs display information (second display information). In this case, the display information output unit 140 may also correct the display information (second display information).

  When receiving the request information, the information processing apparatus 10 repeats the above operation.

  As described above, the request information receiving unit 110 receives the request information from the request source device and transmits the request information to the display information creating unit 120. In addition, the display information output unit 140 transmits the display information created by the display information creation unit 120 to the destination device. That is, the request information receiving unit 110 and the display information output unit 140 repeat the same operation. Therefore, in the following description, the detailed operation of the request information receiving unit 110 and the display information output unit 140 will be omitted, and the detailed operation of the display information creating unit 120 will be described with reference to the drawings. That is, the operation from when the display information creating unit 120 receives the request information to when the display information is created will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a dependency graph used to describe an operation of the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment. That is, the display source information holding unit 130 holds the dependency graph shown in FIG. 2 as the dependency source information.

In FIG. 2, the nodes 200 (nodes 200 _{a to} 200 _j ) are represented using a circle and a square (a part of the lower right corner is turned up). The circles and squares shown in FIG. 2 are examples of the display of the node 200. The present embodiment is not limited to this display. The display of the node 200 may be another graphic.

In FIG. 2, edges 300 (edges 300 _{a to} 300 _j ) are represented by arrows. However, in the present embodiment, the edge 300 is not limited to this display. The display of the edge 300 may be another type of line (for example, a dotted line or a dashed line) or a graphic (for example, a curved line or a graphic of an arrow having a width).

First, the display information creation unit 120, a first request information, and receiving the display request of the node 200 _b shown in FIG. In this case, the display information creation unit 120, a first display information, creates display information including the node 200 _b (first display information).

However, when creating the first display information (first display information), the display information creating unit 120 does not create the display information including all the nodes 200 related to the node 200 included in the request information, and The display information on the nodes 200 in the range included in the information is created. For example, in this case, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information about the node 200 _b.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 creates the first display information corresponding to the range included in the first request information, corresponding to the first request information. That is, the first request information is information that specifies the range of the node 200 included in the first display information.

When the first request information includes information on a plurality of nodes 200, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information including the nodes 200 in the requested range. For example, when the first request information includes the node 200 _b and the node 200 _e , the display information creating unit 120 displays the node 200 _b , the edge 300 _e , and the display information regarding the node 200 _e (first display information). Create

  Furthermore, the display information creation unit 120 changes the display information so that the node 200 including the display information can be identified as being connected to the node 200 not included in the display information.

  The nodes 200 that are not included in the display information are the nodes 200 that are not displayed in the display using the display information. On the other hand, the node 200 included in the display information is the node 200 to be displayed. For example, a device that has received the display information from the display information output unit 140 (hereinafter, referred to as a display device) can display the node 200 included in the display information, but cannot display the node 200 that is not included in the display information. In order to display a node 200 that is not included in the display information, additional information is required. That is, the connection to the node 200 that is not included in the display information is a connection that is not displayed in the display information (an additional connection).

  The node 200 connected to the node 200 not included in the display information corresponds to an “additional connection portion”. Therefore, hereinafter, the node 200 connected to the node 200 not included in the display information will be referred to as an “additional connection node 200”. The node 200 in which all the connected nodes 200 are included in the display information corresponds to the “no additional connection portion”. Therefore, hereinafter, the node 200 in which all the connected nodes 200 are included in the display information is referred to as “node 200 without additional connection”.

  That is, the display information creation unit 120 changes the display information so that the node 200 with additional connection and the node 200 without additional connection can be identified.

  More specifically, the additional connection node 200 is connected to the node 200 not included in the display information via the edge 300 not included in the display information.

  The above identifiable display in the display information is not particularly limited. For example, the display information creation unit 120 may create display information in which the outline of the node 200 with additional connection is a thick line and the outline of the node 200 without additional connection is a thin line. Alternatively, the display information creation unit 120 may create display information in which the additional connection node 200 is filled with a predetermined color (for example, gray) and the additional connection non-node 200 is outlined. In the following description, as an example, the display information creating unit 120 creates display information in which the outline of the node 200 with additional connection is a thick line and the outline of the node 200 without additional connection is a thin line.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first display information according to the first embodiment. Display information creation unit 120 creates the display information including the node 200 _b. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the node 200 _b is connected to the node 200 _e. In other words, the node 200 _b is additionally connected chromatic node 200. Therefore, the display information creation unit 120, as shown in FIG. 3, to create the display information and thick lines the outline of the node 200 _b.

Next, the display information creation unit 120, and as the next request information (second request information), receives the additional display request for the node 200 _b.

The display information creation unit 120 creates the second display information based on the second request information by using the display source information (dependency graph) stored in the display source information storage unit 130. Specifically, the display information creation unit 120 includes, in the first display information, the node 200 (in this case, the node 200 _e ) and the edge 300 (in this case, the edge 300 _e ) connected to the node 200 _b. And display information (second display information) to which ".." is added.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second display information according to the first embodiment.

As described above, the second display information includes a node 200 _b and the node 200 _e, and between the edge 300 _e. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the node 200 _e is connected to the second node not included in the display information 200 _f and the node 200 _g. That is, the node _200e is the node 200 with additional connection. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the display information creation unit 120 creates the display information and thick lines the outline of the node 200 _e. On the other hand, the node _200b is the node 200 without additional connection. Therefore, the display information creation unit 120, the outline of the node 200 _b creates display information with thin line.

Next, the display information creation unit 120, a third request information, and receives the additional display request for the node 200 _e.

The display information creation unit 120 creates third display information based on the third request information, using display source information (dependency graph) held in the display source information holding unit 130. Specifically, the display information creation unit 120 adds the node 200 (the node 200 _f and the node 200 _g ) and the edge 300 (the edge 300 _f and the edge 300 _g ) connected to the node 200 _e to the second display information. Is generated (third display information).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the third display information according to the first embodiment.

The node _200f and the node _200g are the nodes 200 with additional connection. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, the display information creation unit 120 creates the display information and thick lines the outline of the node 200 _f, and the node 200 _g. On the other hand, the nodes 200 _b and 200 _e are the nodes 200 without additional connection. Therefore, the display information creation unit 120, the outline of the node 200 _b and the node 200 _e creates display information with thin line.

Next, the display information creation unit 120, a fourth request information, and receives the additional display request for the node 200 _g.

The display information creation unit 120 creates the fourth display information based on the fourth request information by using the display source information (dependency graph) stored in the display source information storage unit 130. Specifically, the display information creation unit 120 _{adds the} node 200 (in this case, the node 200 _i ) and the edge 300 (in this case, the edge 300 _i ) connected to the node 200 _g to the third display information. And the display information (fourth display information) is added.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the fourth display information according to the first embodiment.

The node _200f is the node 200 with additional connection. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the display information creation unit 120 creates the display information and thick lines the outline of the node 200 _f. On the other hand, other nodes 200 (node 200 _b , node 200 _e , node 200 _g , and node 200 _i ) are nodes 200 without additional connection. Therefore, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information in which the outline of the other nodes 200 is a thin line. In this case, the display information creation unit 120, the dependency graph shown in FIG. 2, not to create display information including the node 200 _h in the same positional relationship with the node 200 _i.

  As described above, the display information creating unit 120 can create display information for displaying a necessary range in the display source information (the dependency graph) based on the request information.

  Further, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information that can identify the node 200 with additional connection and the node 200 without additional connection. That is, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information that can identify whether the node 200 included in the display information is connected to the node 200 not included in the display information.

  Further, the display information creating unit 120 creates display information in which the nodes 200 connected to the additional connection node 200 are added based on the request information for the additional connection node 200.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 can create display information including the node 200 connected to the node 200 in response to an additional request for the display information.

  In the description so far, the display information creating unit 120 creates display information for adding the immediately preceding node 200 in the dependency graph to the request information. However, the operation of the display information creating unit 120 is not limited to this operation.

  For example, the display information creating unit 120 may include up to a predetermined number of nodes 200 in the dependency graph in the display information. For example, the request information may include a range of the node 200 to be added (for example, a number corresponding to the number of hops in the network). In this case, the display information creation unit 120 may create the display information including the nodes 200 in the specified range (the number of hops).

  Alternatively, the display information creating unit 120 may hold in advance a range to be additionally displayed (for example, the number of hops of the node 200) and create display information to add the nodes 200 included in the range.

  Alternatively, when the dependency graph holds time information, the display information creation unit 120 may include up to the nodes 200 included in a predetermined time range in the dependency graph in the display information.

  Alternatively, when the dependency graph includes information on the device (machine or agent) of the node 200, the display information creation unit 120 sets the range of the node 200 included in the same device as the designated node 200 as the display information. May be added.

  Further, based on the hierarchical structure in the device or the information processing system, the display information creating unit 120 adds the range corresponding to the hierarchical structure (for example, the same hierarchical range as the part requested to add information) to the display information. May be. That is, the display information creation unit 120 may create display information that does not add a display of a subsystem or the like included in a portion to be added (for example, the node 200).

  Furthermore, the display information creating unit 120 may create display information in which the display range is expanded not only in the forward direction (left direction in FIG. 2) but also in the backward direction (right direction in FIG. 2) of the dependency graph.

  As described above, the display information output unit 140 according to the first embodiment may further add information to the display information created by the display information creation unit 120.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the time display added by the display information output unit 140. The time display shown in FIG. 7 is a time display that includes a time range (the earliest time and the last time) of the display source information (the dependency graph) and a time range (the earliest time and the last time) of the display information.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display information to which the time information illustrated in FIG. 7 is added.

  The rectangle and arrow at the bottom of FIG. 8 are the dependency graphs included in the display information.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the display information output unit 140 outputs the node information based on the time information of the node 200 included in the display information in addition to the time display shown in FIG. Information indicating the time corresponding to 200 (broken line in FIG. 8) is added.

  Note that the display information output unit 140 may set the time range in the display to a range different from the display information.

  For example, the display information output unit 140 may change the displayed time range of the output information in the display information created by the display information creation unit 120.

  For example, the display device that displays the information illustrated in FIG. 8 receives an instruction (display time change information) for changing the earliest time or the last time displayed in the display information, and receives the instruction (display time change information). Is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 10. In this case, the display information output unit 140 of the information processing device 10 may change the displayed time range in the display information based on the display time change information.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display information corrected by the display information output unit 140 when the earliest time in the display is changed (moved) in FIG. More specifically, FIG. 9 is an example of the display information corrected by the display information output unit 140 when the time before the display of the display information is delayed. In FIG. 9, the node 200 included in the display information before the changed latest time is not displayed because the latest time is delayed. In FIG. 9, nodes 200 that are not displayed are indicated using dashed lines.

[Explanation of effects]
Next, effects of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment has an effect of creating management information that can be used for managing an information processing system.

  The reason is as follows.

  The display source information storage unit 130 stores display source information for management (the dependency graph in the above description).

  The request information receiving unit 110 first receives, from a predetermined request source device, first request information that is information for specifying a range included in the display information.

  The display information creation unit 120 creates display information (first display information) related to a range corresponding to the first request information based on the management information. However, the display information creation unit 120 creates the display information so that the additional connection element and the additional connection non-element can be distinguished.

  The display information output unit 140 transmits the display information to a predetermined destination device. Note that the display information output unit 140 may add predetermined information to the display information.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 creates display information on a range (for example, an element or a node) included in the request information as the first display information. Therefore, the first display information is display information relating to a predetermined range, and is information that can be easily confirmed or analyzed by an administrator or the like. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 has an effect of creating management information (display information) that can be used for management.

  Further, when the request information receiving unit 110 receives additional request information (second and subsequent display information), the display information creating unit 120 adds the range specified in the additional request information to the display information added to the display information. Create information.

  As described above, the information processing device 10 creates display information to which information on the specified range is added. Therefore, the display information after the information is added is the display information to which information in a predetermined range is added, and is information that can be easily confirmed or analyzed by an administrator or the like. That is, even when information is added, the information processing apparatus 10 has an effect of creating management information (display information) that can be used for management.

  Further, the information processing device 10 creates display information that can distinguish an additional connection element and an additional connection non-element. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 10 can provide display information to an administrator or the like, which can easily identify whether or not the element has an additional connection.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 has an effect of creating management information that can be used for managing the information processing system.

[Modification]
The information processing apparatus 10 described above is configured as follows.

  For example, each component of the information processing device 10 may be configured by a hardware circuit.

  Further, in the information processing device 10, each component may be configured using a plurality of devices connected via a network or a bus.

  Further, in the information processing apparatus 10, the plurality of components may be configured by one piece of hardware.

  Further, the information processing device 10 may be realized as a computer device including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The information processing device 10 may be realized as a computer device including an input / output circuit (IOC) and a network interface circuit (NIC) in addition to the above configuration.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an information processing device 600 according to the present modification.

  The information processing device 600 includes a CPU 610, a ROM 620, a RAM 630, an internal storage device 640, an IOC 650, and an NIC 680, and forms a computer device.

  CPU 610 reads a program from ROM 620. Then, the CPU 610 controls the RAM 630, the internal storage device 640, the IOC 650, and the NIC 680 based on the read program. Then, the computer including the CPU 610 controls these components, and realizes each function as the request information receiving unit 110, the display information creating unit 120, and the display information output unit 140 shown in FIG.

  When realizing each function, the CPU 610 may use the RAM 630 or the internal storage device 640 as a temporary storage medium of the program.

  In addition, the CPU 610 may use a storage medium reading device (not shown) to read a program included in the storage medium 700 in which the program is stored so as to be readable by a computer. Alternatively, the CPU 610 may receive a program from an external device (not shown) via the NIC 680, store the program in the RAM 630, and operate based on the stored program.

  The ROM 620 stores programs executed by the CPU 610 and fixed data. The ROM 620 is, for example, a P-ROM (Programmable-ROM) or a flash ROM.

  RAM 630 temporarily stores programs and data executed by CPU 610. The RAM 630 is, for example, a D-RAM (Dynamic-RAM).

  The internal storage device 640 stores data and programs that the information processing device 600 stores for a long term. The internal storage device 640 operates as the display source information holding unit 130. Further, the internal storage device 640 may operate as a temporary storage device of the CPU 610. The internal storage device 640 is, for example, a hard disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a disk array device.

  Here, the ROM 620 and the internal storage device 640 are non-transitory storage media. On the other hand, the RAM 630 is a volatile storage medium. The CPU 610 can operate based on a program stored in the ROM 620, the internal storage device 640, or the RAM 630. That is, the CPU 610 can operate using a nonvolatile storage medium or a volatile storage medium.

  The IOC 650 mediates data between the CPU 610 and the input device 660 and the display device 670. The IOC 650 is, for example, an IO interface card or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) card. Further, the IOC 650 is not limited to a wired cable such as USB, but may be wireless.

  The input device 660 is a device that receives an input instruction from an operator of the information processing device 600. The input device 660 may operate as the request information receiving unit 110. The input device 660 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel.

  The display device 670 is a device that displays information to an operator of the information processing device 600. The display device 670 may operate as the display information output unit 140. The display device 670 is, for example, a liquid crystal display.

  The NIC 680 relays data exchange with an external device (not shown) via a network. The NIC 680 may operate as the request information receiving unit 110 and / or the display information output unit 140. The NIC 680 is, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) card. Further, the NIC 680 is not limited to a wired one but may be a wireless one.

  The information processing apparatus 600 configured as described above can achieve the same effects as the information processing apparatus 10.

  The reason is that the CPU 610 of the information processing device 600 can realize the same function as the information processing device 10 based on a program.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Description of configuration]
First, the configuration of the information processing device 12 according to the second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an information processing device 12 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the information processing device 12 includes a display information creation unit 122 instead of the display information creation unit 120 with respect to the information processing device 10. Further, the information processing device 12 includes a reference information holding unit 150 and a range determination unit 160. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the same configuration of the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the configuration unique to the present embodiment.

  The reference information holding unit 150 holds information (reference information) used when the range determining unit 160 determines the display information created by the display information creating unit 122. The information held in the reference information holding unit 150 is not particularly limited.

  For example, it is assumed that the display source information holding unit 130 holds information on an incident of the information processing system (a dependency graph at the time of the incident), and the display information creating unit 122 creates display information based on the information. In this case, the reference information holding unit 150 holds information on the information processing system in a normal state (for example, a normal dependency graph). In the following description, as an example, the description will be given assuming that the reference information holding unit 150 holds the normal dependency graph. In addition, in order to clarify the distinction between the dependency graph held by the display source information holding unit 130 and the normal dependency graph, the dependency graph held by the reference information holding unit 150 is hereinafter referred to as a “normal graph”.

  The range determining unit 160 determines a range common to the reference information in the display information created by the display information creating unit 122. More specifically, the range determination unit 160 determines a range (unnecessary range) that does not need to be included in the display information in the display information based on the reference information. For example, in the range newly added to the display information by the display information creation unit 122, the range determination unit 160 determines a range included in the reference information as a range that does not need to be included in the display information (an unnecessary range).

  The display information creation unit 122 creates display information in the same manner as the display information creation unit 120. Further, as described later in detail, the display information creating unit 122 changes (for example, deletes) the display information in the range corresponding to the determination result based on the determination result (unnecessary range) in the range determination unit 160.

[Description of operation]
Next, an operation according to the second embodiment will be described.

  The edge 300 included in the normal graph is the edge 300 that occurs in normal times. The edge 300 that occurs during normal times is unlikely to cause an incident or the like. Therefore, the range determination unit 160 determines whether the range added to the display information by the display information creation unit 122 includes the edge 300 included in the normal graph and the range related to the edge 300. Then, range determining section 160 transmits the determined range to display information creating section 122.

  The display information creation unit 122 changes the display information based on the determination result of the range determination unit 160. The change processing in the display information creation unit 122 is not particularly limited.

  For example, the display information creation unit 122 may delete a range included in the determination result from the display information. In this case, the information processing device 12 can create a smaller amount of display information. Therefore, the information processing device 12 can create display information that is easier to use than in the first embodiment.

  Alternatively, the display information creation unit 122 may change the display included in the determination result to a display that can be identified (for example, lightening the color, decreasing the brightness, or increasing the transparency to a high degree of transparency). Also in this case, the information processing device 12 can create display information that is easier to use than the information processing device 10 of the first embodiment.

  The reference information holding unit 150 may hold a plurality of pieces of information. For example, the reference information holding unit 150 may hold reference information for a device included in the information processing system or for each subsystem.

  Alternatively, the reference information holding unit 150 may hold reference information corresponding to a normal state common to a plurality of devices in a predetermined range.

  Further, the determination of the range in range determining section 160 is not limited to the above.

  For example, the range determination unit 160 may determine the range using a plurality of edges 300 as a comparison target instead of the determination using one edge 300.

  Further, the edge 300 having a high frequency of occurrence is likely to be normal. Therefore, the range determination unit 160 may determine the range based on the frequency of occurrence of the edge 300 included in the reference information.

  Also, the edge 300 that has occurred before the predetermined time but has not recently occurred is likely to be the edge 300 related to the incident. Therefore, the range determination unit 160 may determine the range based on the past generation time of the edge 300. That is, the range determination unit 160 may determine the range using the information regarding the time in the reference information.

[Explanation of effects]
Next, effects of the second embodiment will be described.

  Secondly, the information processing apparatus 12 according to the second embodiment has an effect of appropriately changing the display information in addition to the effect of the first embodiment. More specifically, the information processing device 12 can achieve an effect of deleting more unnecessary information from the display information or an effect of indicating an unnecessary range in the display information.

  The reason is as follows.

  The reference information holding unit 150 holds reference information (for example, a normal graph) for determining an unnecessary range in the display information.

  Then, the range determining unit 160 determines an unnecessary range in the display information based on the reference information.

  Then, the display information creation unit 122 deletes an unnecessary range from the display information or creates display information that can be identified as having been determined.

<Third embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Description of configuration]
First, the configuration of the information processing device 13 according to the third embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an information processing device 13 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the information processing device 13 includes a display information creation unit 123 instead of the display information creation unit 120 as compared with the information processing device 10. Further, the information processing device 13 includes a display amount calculation unit 170. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the same configuration of the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the configuration unique to the present embodiment.

  The display amount calculation unit 170 calculates the number of nodes 200 connected to the additional connection nodes 200 included in the display information (hereinafter, referred to as “the number of connections”). More specifically, the display amount calculation unit 170 calculates the number of connections of the additional connection node 200 included in the display information based on the display source information.

  The display information creation unit 123 creates display information in the same manner as the display information creation unit 120. Further, the display information creation unit 123 changes the display information based on the number of connections (display amount) calculated by the display amount calculation unit 170.

[Description of operation]
Next, an operation according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The number of connections in the additional connection node 200 is the number of nodes 200 that the display information creation unit 123 adds to the display information when the request information for the additional connection node 200 is received. That is, the additional display amount in the display information is approximately proportional to the number of connections.

  Also, when many nodes 200 are added at once, the visibility of the display information after the addition may be reduced.

  Therefore, the display information creation unit 123 identifies the additional connection node 200 having a large number of connections and the additional connection node 200 having a small number of connections based on the number of connections calculated by the display amount calculation unit 170. Create information. More specifically, the display information creation unit 123 sets the display of the additional connection node 200 whose number of connections is greater than a predetermined value (threshold) to be different from the display of the other additional connection node 200. It is desirable that the display information creation unit 123 display the additional connection node 200 having a large number of connections with a higher visibility than the additional connection node 200 having a small number of connections. This is because, when adding a node 200 connected to the additional connection node 200 having a large number of connections, the display information creation unit 123 is likely to create display information with low visibility.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a node 200 used for explaining a display according to the third embodiment.

13, half of the left shows the connections for nodes 200 _k used in the description. As shown in FIG. 13, the node 200 _k are connected to many nodes 200 _l.

In this case, the display information creation unit 120 according to the first embodiment, as the first display information, the display of the additional connection chromatic node 200 _k to outline that is shown on the right side of FIG. 13 is a thick line Create information. The display information creation unit 120 receives the request information for the additional connection chromatic node 200 _k, as the display information, creates display information shown on the left side of FIG. 13. That is, the display information creation unit 120 creates display information for adding a large number of nodes _200l . As shown in FIG. 13, such a change in the display information is not always a change in the display information that is easy to confirm.

  The display information creation unit 123 according to the present embodiment changes the display of the node 200 whose number of connections is larger than the predetermined number, as described below.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a first change example of the display information according to the third embodiment.

As shown on the right side of FIG. 14, the display information creation section 123, display a different display which number of connections is shown in Figure 13 the display of more nodes 200 _k than a predetermined number (in FIG. 14, the outer shape Create display information with a thick double line). As described above, the display information creation unit 123 creates display information that can identify the additional connection nodes 200 having the number of connections greater than the predetermined number and the additional connection nodes 200 having the number of connections equal to or less than the predetermined number. The display information creation unit 123, to the request information for the node 200 _k, as shown on the left side of FIG. 14, creates display information adding nodes 200 _l.

  In the description so far, the display information creating unit 123 generates display information using the number of connections when displaying the connection information node 200. However, the operation of the display information creation unit 123 is not limited to the above.

For example, the display information creation unit 123 may use the number of connections when adding a display of the connected node 200 (for example, the node 200 _l ). For example, when there are many nodes 200 to be added, the display information creating unit 123 does not create display information including the nodes 200 to be added, but displays display information indicating an intermediate development stage, or is simplified. Create display information.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a second change example of the display information according to the third embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 15, the display information creation unit 123 creates the display information shown in the left side of FIG. 15 from the display information shown in the upper right of FIG. The display information (simplified display) shown in the lower right is created. The display information shown in the lower right of FIG. 15 includes display information indicating that the number of additional nodes 200 _l is large (display information in which the outline of node 200 _l is a thick double line). It is.

  The display information creation unit 123 creates the upper right diagram in FIG. 15 as the first display information. Next, the display information creation unit 123 creates the lower right diagram in FIG. 15 as the second display information. Then, the display information creating unit 123 creates the diagram on the left side of FIG. 15 as the third display information.

  Furthermore, the display information creation unit 123 may use a plurality of values (thresholds) used for determining the number of connections. For example, the display information creation unit 123 may create display information in which the size of the node 200 is changed so as to correspond to the large number of connections. Specifically, for example, the display information creation unit 123 includes a first threshold and a second threshold larger than the first threshold. Then, the display information creating unit 123 sets the node 200 having the number of connections smaller than the first threshold to a small size, and sets the node 200 having the number of connections equal to or larger than the first threshold and smaller than the second threshold to a medium shape. The shape of the node 200 whose number of connections is equal to or larger than the second threshold is a large shape.

  Alternatively, the display information creating unit 123 may create display information in which a color is set for the node 200 so as to correspond to the large number of connections.

  Further, the display information creating unit 123 may create display information in which a plurality of nodes 200 are grouped by a predetermined number.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a third change example of the display information according to the third embodiment.

As shown in Figure 16, the display information creation section 123, node 200 _l, it may create a display information as nodes 200 _l represented using two double circle. For example, it is assumed that the display information creating unit 123 groups the nodes 200 every 20 nodes. It is assumed that there are 40 nodes 200 _l . In this case, the display information creation unit 123 creates the display information as shown in the lower right of FIG. 16 as the display of the node _200l .

  14 to 16 show examples of the display. The present embodiment is not limited to these displays.

[Explanation of effects]
Next, effects of the third embodiment will be described.

  The information processing apparatus 13 according to the third embodiment has an effect of creating display information that can appropriately select a node 200 to be additionally displayed, in addition to the effect of the first embodiment.

  The reason is as follows.

  The display amount calculation unit 170 calculates the number of additional connections (display amount) in the additional connection node 200 included in the display information.

  Then, the display information creation unit 123 uses the number of connections to create display information that can identify the number of connections (additional amount) of the node 200 to be added in the additional connection node 200.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Description of configuration]
First, the configuration of the information processing device 14 according to the fourth embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 17 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an information processing device 14 according to the fourth embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 17, the information processing device 14 includes a display information creation unit 124 instead of the display information creation unit 120 as compared with the information processing device 10. Further, the information processing device 13 includes a unit information holding unit 180. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the same configuration of the first embodiment will be omitted as appropriate, and the description will focus on the configuration unique to the present embodiment.

  The unit information holding unit 180 holds information (display unit) related to a display unit in the display source information or the display information.

  Here, the display unit is a unit (for example, a range of the node 200) used when information is added to the display information.

  The display unit is not particularly limited. The display unit is, for example, an operation of the node 200 related to an operation that is executed frequently (for example, application startup, application termination, file creation, file storage, file duplication, or mail transmission) in the information processing system. It may be a range.

  Alternatively, the display unit may be a range of the node 200 corresponding to the device (machine or agent).

  The display information creation unit 124 creates display information in the same manner as the display information creation unit 120 of the first embodiment. Further, the display information creation unit 124 determines whether or not the node 200 included in the display information is included in any of the display units based on the display units stored in the unit information storage unit 180. Then, when the node 200 is included in the display unit, the display information creating unit 124 changes the display related to the node 200 added to the display information to the display of the display unit.

  In addition, the display information creation unit 124 does not limit the range to be changed to the display unit in the display information. For example, the display information creation unit 124 may change the display information to display using a display unit for the node 200 newly added to the display information. For example, when the node 200 to be added to the display information is the node 200 included in any of the display units, the display information creation unit 124 displays information indicating the display unit instead of displaying the node 200 in the display information. May be added to the manager information.

  The node 200 generally has a configuration included in a display unit. In other words, the display unit includes a configuration in a wider range than the node 200. That is, the display information creation unit 124 may create display information including a wider range than the node 200 to be added.

  Alternatively, the display information creation unit 124 may change the range included in the display information already displayed using the node 200 to the display information using the display unit based on the request information or the like.

[Description of operation]
Next, an operation of the information processing apparatus 14 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  It is assumed that the dependency graph used in this description uses the upper part of the dependency graph shown in FIG.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a dependency graph of a range used for describing the fourth embodiment in the dependency graph shown in FIG.

FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display unit 400 used for describing the fourth embodiment. The upper portion of FIG. 19 is a is a first display unit 400 _a "Operation 1". The lower part of FIG. 19 is a is a second display unit 400 _b "Operation 2".

Referring now to FIGS. 18 and 19, the range of 200 _a from definitive node 200 _f of FIG. 18 corresponds to the second display unit 400 _b. Further, the range of 200 _f from the node 200 _h corresponds to the first display unit 400 _a.

The display information creation unit 124, a first request information, and receives the node 200 _j.

In this case, first, the display information creation unit 124 creates display information for displaying the node _200j as the display information.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a first display example corresponding to this case in the description of the fourth embodiment. As shown in Figure 20, the display information creation section 124, an additional connection chromatic node 200, creates display information including the node 200 _j.

Next, the display information creation unit 124 receives request information (second request information) for the node _200j .

Display information creation unit 120 according to the first embodiment, in this case, to create a node 200 _j, and node 200 _a, the display information including the edge 300 _j.

In contrast, the display information creation section 124 uses the display unit 400 stored in the unit information holding section 180, the node 200 _a is can be seen that contained in the second display unit 400 _b. Accordingly, the display information creation unit 124, rather than the node 200 _a, creates display information added to the display unit 400 _b.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a display example (second display example) in this case. As shown in FIG. 21, the display information creating unit 124 performs display in a display format different from that of the node 200 (in FIG. 21, a square with rounded corners of a triple line) so as to be distinguishable from the node 200. to create a display information you have added the unit 400 _b.

Next, the display information creating unit 124 receives the request information (third request information) to the display unit 400 _b. In this case, the display information creation section 124 creates the display information to expand the display unit 400 _b. However, referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, the node 200 _f and the node 200 _h corresponds to the display unit 400 _a. Therefore, the display information creation section 124, a display information expand display unit 400 _b in FIG. 21, creates display information including the display unit 400 _a.

  FIG. 22 shows a display example (third display example) in this case.

Display information creating unit 124, as shown in Figure 22, at a position corresponding to the node 200 _f, creates display information including the display unit 400 _a.

  The display information creating unit 124 may create display information including the additional node 200 or the display unit 400 without expanding the display unit 400.
