Abstract

PURPOSE:To save a data checking labor and to reduce the capacity of a magnetic disk file by setting a threshold value for the use ratio and the response time of respective resources and checking whether or not these threshold values are exceeded at the time of accumulating an operating condition into a magnetic disk, etc. CONSTITUTION:The operating monitoring data of a computer system are set to a monitoring data setting tabld e by a keyboard display 1 and a monitoring data setting program 2. By an operating condition monitoring program 4, the use ratio, etc., of a magnetic disk 7, a magnetic tape 8, a CPU and a memory 10 are collected and picked up to an operating condition data buffer 5. The picked-up data are compared with the threshold value on a monitoring data setting table 3 by the operating condition monitoring program 4 for the monitoring cycle, and only when the value is exceeded, the detailed data are accumulated to an operating condition accumulating file 6 on a magnetic disk 7. Thus, the data checking labor is saved and the capacity of the magnetic disk file can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic monitoring method for maintaining and operating a computer system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, it has been possible to collect information on the operating status of a computer system, but this information has always been accumulated on a regular basis. Therefore, in order to detect resource bottlenecks in computer systems, it is necessary to regularly check the accumulated information, which not only requires a large amount of man-hours, but also requires the use of magnetic disk files when storing information. Information is often failed to be collected due to capacity limitations, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the conventional computer system operating status monitoring method described above, the amount of information collected is so large that it may not be possible to collect all the data with limited resources, and it is difficult to analyze the collected data. However, there is a problem in that it requires a large amount of man-hours to improve the bottleneck of the system.

[Means to solve the problem]

The method of the present invention is a computer system in which the operating status of the system itself can be collected, and the design limit value ( It has a means for setting threshold values (threshold values) and a means for checking these limit values at regular intervals while the computer system is operating, and collects detailed system operating status only when the limit values are ordered. do.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Keyboard display 1. Data necessary for monitoring the operation of a computer system. It is set in the monitoring data setting table 3 by the monitoring data setting program 2. While the system is in operation, the operating status monitoring program 4 collects the usage rates of the magnetic disk 7, magnetic tape s, CPU, memory 10, and response time of the AP 9, and stores them in the operating status data buffer 5. The data collected in the operating status data buffer 5 is stored in the monitoring data setting table 3 by the operating status monitoring program 4 every monitoring cycle.
It is compared with the above threshold value, and detailed data is accumulated in the operating status accumulation file 6 on the magnetic disk 7 only when this value is exceeded.

In the present invention, there is a means for setting various threshold values in the monitoring data setting table 3 from the keyboard display 1, and a means for checking these threshold values in the operating status monitoring program 4, and providing detailed operating status data only when the values are exceeded. A function to output to the operating status accumulation file 6 is added.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, since detailed operating status data is collected only when the limit value assumed by the computer system operator is exceeded, the present invention not only reduces the number of man-hours for checking this data, but also It is also possible to reduce the capacity of the magnetic disk file required to store information.
