Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the detection time of alarm information with high priority by collecting with high priority detailed information of a device sending information with high priority among sets of alarm generating information of a supervised device detected through polling. CONSTITUTION:A supervised equipment 1 sends alarm generating information A1 with respect to a polling signal P1 from a supervisory equipment K to the supervised equipment 1. The supervisory equipment K based on received alarm generating information A1 checks an alarm class generated in the supervised equipment 1 and does not collect detailed alarm information but makes a polling P2 to a succeeding supervised equipment 2 when the alarm generating information is that with lowest priority. Similarly, the alarm class generated by the supervised equipment 2 is checked based on alarm information A2 from the supervised equipment 2 and when the information is alarm generating information with higher priority, the detailed alarm information S2 is immediately collected and polling P3 is applied to a succeeding supervised equipment.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication monitoring method, and more particularly to an alarm monitoring method for monitoring the occurrence and cancellation of an alarm generated in a monitored device by polling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional monitoring device for a communication system, a priority (priority) is given to a monitored device that polls from the monitored device 1 to a monitored device n in a predetermined order and outputs alarm generation information. ), And immediately collected detailed alarm information.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned monitoring device in the conventional communication system, the detailed alarm information is immediately collected to the monitored device which has detected the alarm occurrence information by the polling, and after collecting the detailed alarm information, the next monitoring object is collected. The monitoring device is polled, the priority (priority) of the alarm occurrence information is not considered at all, and even if the priority (priority) of the alarm occurrence information that is occurring is low, a detailed alarm will be issued immediately when it is discovered by polling. In order to collect information, even if another monitored device outputs alarm occurrence information with a high priority (priority), the time from when the alarm occurrence information is output until the monitoring device detects the alarm information take time.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques. The alarm occurrence information having a high priority (priority) is output from the monitored device, and then the information is monitored. It is an object of the present invention to provide an alarm monitoring method capable of shortening the time required for detection by a device.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve such an object, the gist of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device for monitoring, by polling, the states of alarms generated and released by a plurality of monitored devices in a communication system. In the alarm monitoring method, the alarm occurrence information of the monitored device is detected by polling, the alarm class included in the alarm occurrence information is recognized, and the alarm class information is detected based on the priority (priority) determined from the alarm class. An alarm monitoring method is characterized in that a monitored device that has transmitted alarm generation information with a high priority is detected, and detailed alarm information of the device is preferentially collected for the monitored device.

[0006]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining an alarm monitoring method for detecting alarm occurrence information by polling, checking an alarm class, and collecting detailed alarm information.

It is assumed that there are three types of alarm classes A, B, and C, and the priority (priority) is higher in the order of A, B, and C. Also, alarm occurrence information, polling information, and detailed alarm information of the i-th monitored device i are
It was set to Pi and Si.

As shown in FIG. 1, the monitored device 1 responds to polling (P1) from the monitoring device K to the monitored device 1.
Sends the alarm occurrence information (A1). In the monitoring device K, the monitored device 1
The alarm class generated in (1) is checked, and when the alarm generation information has the lowest priority (priority) (in this embodiment, the alarm class of A1 is C), detailed alarm information is collected. Instead, the next polling (P2) of the monitored device 2 is performed. Similarly, the alarm class generated in the monitored device 2 is checked from the alarm information (A2) from the monitored device 2, and the alarm generation information has a high priority (A2 in this embodiment). If the alarm class is A, the detailed alarm information (S2) is immediately collected, and the next monitored device is polled (P3).

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the states of occurrence and cancellation of alarms generated in a plurality of monitored devices are
When the monitoring device that is monitoring by polling detects the alarm occurrence information of the monitored device by polling, it checks the alarm class that is occurring and outputs the alarm occurrence information of high priority (priority). The time from when the monitored device outputs the alarm occurrence information with high priority (priority) to when the monitored device detects it by having the function to collect detailed information by giving priority to the monitored device. Can be shortened.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides the following means. In an alarm monitoring method for a monitoring device that monitors the occurrence and cancellation of alarms that occur in a plurality of monitored devices that make up a communication system, the alarm occurrence information of the monitored device is detected by polling, and the alarm occurrence information is generated. Recognizes the alarm class included in the alarm class, detects the monitored device that has transmitted the high-priority alarm occurrence information based on the priority determined from the alarm class, and gives priority to the monitored device. An alarm monitoring method comprising collecting detailed alarm information of the device. In an alarm monitoring method for monitoring, by polling from a monitoring device, the occurrence and cancellation states of alarms that occur in a plurality of monitored devices that make up a communication system, each monitored device is monitored according to the importance of each of the plurality of monitored devices. An alarm class is assigned in advance to each monitoring device, and when the monitored device receives the polling, the monitored device adds the alarm class of its own to the alarm generation information indicating the presence or absence of an abnormality of the monitored device. To the monitoring device, the monitoring device detects the alarm occurrence information of the monitored device by polling, recognizes the alarm class included in the alarm occurrence information, and based on the priority determined from the alarm class , The priority of each monitored device that has transmitted the alarm occurrence information is detected, and detailed alarm information of the monitored device Alarm monitoring method which is characterized in that collected in.
