The present invention relates to an information retrieval method using an IP address as a file name and a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for implementing the method. More specifically, a file having an IP address as a file name is created. An information retrieval method using an IP address as a file name and a method for realizing the method by storing additional information related to the IP in a file and referring to the IP file only when searching for the additional information, thereby reducing the burden on the database. A computer readable recording medium having recorded a program.

All telecommunications companies operate a network management system to manage a plurality of networks for a specific purpose of each network (network) so that a network (network) performing various functions over a wide range performs a desired function. There is.

The network management system can be divided into two parts, based on the service provided by the system, such as an exchange network management system and a data network management system that manages the rapidly growing Internet part.

Dual data network management system performs almost all network management based on IP address. In other words, all the devices and lines that make up the Internet have an IP (Internet Protocol) that can identify each other. Therefore, performance is obtained by using a simple network management protocol (hereinafter referred to as SNMP). And state data or use the PING command to determine the state of the device or line.

Therefore, in order to smoothly provide various data related services including internet service, communication service providers must efficiently manage many equipments related to service provision, and operate a data network by constructing a system to meet these purposes. .

The data network management system is mostly similar to other network management systems. However, unlike other management systems such as an exchange network management system, the difference is that almost all management standards are based on IP.

Mainly used for data network management, SNMP is an international standard protocol that accesses the unique IP assigned to devices and links to retrieve various information including the performance of devices and links.

For example, in the case of a device such as a router or a switch, the data network management system may provide information about each device's database such as the number of packets passing through the device or whether the device is currently operating normally or has failed. Taken from. That is, it basically performs the task of importing some information (data) necessary for the purpose of collecting, such as IP address, status information, and performance information assigned to a specific device.

Once the network management system has collected this data, it is not only the data that has been collected, but also the purpose of the equipment, which service it is, and what other equipment it is connected to. If you find a variety of additional information, such as what subscribers are accommodated in the equipment and how the speed of the equipment or link is set, display it to the operator in near real time and show it to the operator. You do not need to search for additional information about a particular device without having to rescan it.                         

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a general data network management system.

As shown in FIG. 1, the data network management system 10 according to the present invention includes a communication module 101 and data network equipment connected to the data network equipment 11 to perform communication with the data network. A data collection module 102 for collecting data of (11), a data processing module 103 for processing the collected data, and a data network operation for operating / managing a data network management system based on the collected data It includes a management application function performing unit 104.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a conventional method for retrieving facility information, and illustrates a process of operating / managing data network devices 11 by collecting / processing data in a conventional data network management system 10.

First, if the status and performance data for a specific IP is collected periodically / aperiodic (200), based on the collected data, a number of additionally necessary values are searched for several tables in the facility information database. They take them (202) and display them in real time on the operator screen (204).

This process allows the operator to immediately recognize the failed device or link and take appropriate action, such as notifying subscribers of service failures or replacing the device.

However, basically, the number of IPs to be managed in the data network management system 10 is currently tens of thousands, and the number is expected to increase exponentially with time.

In addition, the data network management system 10 periodically checks the performance status in real time by importing performance data for such a large number of IPs, and in order to determine not only performance but also failure, SNMP, trap (TRAP), system log ( SYSLOG) is to collect aperiodic data continuously.

In this way, tens of thousands of performance information and state information are collected periodically, and state information is constantly collected aperiodically. At this time, for each information, the general database is searched based on the information and other additional information is collected. (In this case, one information refers to performance information or status information of a specific managed IP.)

However, this series of tasks takes tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands between minutes or minutes, whereas many application processors use a limited database, which puts a constant burden on the database.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems, to create a file with the IP address as the file name, to store the IP-based related additional information in the file to the contents of the file, to complete a record The information retrieval method using the IP address as the file name and the program for realizing the above method to make information retrieval easier by searching one file without having to search a plurality of tables. Its purpose is to provide a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information retrieval method using an IP address as a file name, comprising: a first step of generating a file having an IP address as a file name; A second step of storing additional IP information obtained by searching a database in a file having a corresponding IP address as a file name; And a third step of, when the basic information including the IP address is collected, opening a file having the corresponding IP address as a file name, and obtaining and displaying related additional information.

On the other hand, the present invention includes a first function of generating a file having an IP (Internet Protocol) address as a file name in an information retrieval apparatus having a processor as a file name; A second function of storing additional IP information obtained by searching a database in a file having a corresponding IP address as a file name; And when the basic information including the IP address is collected, a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a third function of opening a file having the IP address as a file name and obtaining and displaying related additional information. do.

As such, the present invention provides a method for retrieving additional information related to an IP while reducing the burden on the database.

The data collected from the data network management system 10 basically has an IP, and the performance information of the equipment or linker to which the IP is allocated is collected from a database table. It is necessary to search and transmit additional information such as information and equipment connected to each other. The additional information may be reduced from a few to as many as depending on which items are already shown to the operator when the network management system 10 is developed. Dozens are predetermined.

In general, such additional information is avoided as much as possible for reasons such as data integrity, and is distributed and managed in a plurality of tables according to the characteristics of the data for convenience of management, so that a complete record for one IP is stored in a plurality of tables. It is created by searching (JOIN).

The present invention does not search the facility table to find related additional information whenever these additional information is collected periodically or non-periodically, but searches the database once or twice a day to manage IP names. The additional information is stored in the file name.

In other words, the method of the present invention provides a specific IP and related information.

1. Search and import the database periodically (once or twice a day)

2. Set the IP address as the file name

3. Create a file and store specific IP related information in the file

4. To find the relevant facility information for a specific IP, do not search in multiple related facility tables, but retrieve the relevant additional information by referring to one file with the file name of the target IP.

In practice, information that needs to be found based on a specific IP is stored in several different tables. In the data management system 10, which needs to process tens of thousands of IPs periodically or aperiodically in such a plurality of tables, the time is as fast as possible. You have to process tens of thousands of files in the next cycle to process the data for the next cycle.

In other words, tens of thousands of IP-related information should be found within a limited time and the operator should be informed of the abnormality on the screen.

Therefore, the present invention stores the IP-related information once a day or once every two days as a file, if you need the information to refer to the file made by the IP name to easily search without access to the database Find information.

Here, the method of identifying the performance and status of the equipment and the lines is the same as the conventional method (SNMP protocol or PING command).

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an information retrieval method using an IP address as a file name according to the present invention, and illustrates a process of collecting / processing data in the data network management system 10 as an example.

First, a file having an IP address as a file name is generated (300), and IP-related additional information obtained by searching a plurality of tables in the facility information database is stored in a file having the corresponding IP address as a file name (301).

Thereafter, when basic information including IP address, status information, and performance information is collected (303), a file having a corresponding IP address having the same name as the IP address of the collected data as a file name is opened to obtain relevant additional information. In step 305, the basic information is displayed in real time on the operator's screen (307).

The data collection method of the basic information including the IP address is performed in the data collection module 102 of the data network management system 10 periodically or aperiodically as in the conventional case.

Hereinafter, a part of the table that can be used in the data network management system 10 will be described in more detail with reference to Tables 1 to 5 below.

Table 1 is a part of the facility information table used in the data network management system 10.

Table name Explanation Org Organizational tables to manage information about all organizations within KT Organization Role (OrgRole) Tables that define and manage roles in your organization Equipment (DataEquip) Information table for equipment Slot Information table for slots on the equipment Unit Information table for the unit of equipment Port Information table for port Link Table that manages configuration information connected between ports of equipment

[Table 2] is a part of the event and performance related tables used in the data network management system 10.

Table name Explanation Event log (EventLog) A table that manages the history of events occurring on the backbone, subscriber port, and switch of the router. TrapAuthentication Table to manage traps when equipment is accessed Current Disorder Table to manage routing information for router backbone, subscriber port, and switch failure History Alarm Table that manages the history of router backbone, subscriber port, and switch System Log (SysLog) Table that collects system history failures from routers Performance Table that collects and manages inoctet / outoctet information periodically from the managed ports of routers and switches.

Table 3 shows the current failure table schema and related tables.

[Table 4] shows the event log table schema and related tables.

Field name Contents Process Event Type Event type (1: node, 2: port)      Filled in during processing Event Status Event status (1: Up, 2: Down) Event Collection Method (EventCollectionMethod) Event collection method (1: Ping, 2: SNMP-GET ...) EventTime Event occurrence time, termination time Event Description Event Details (Printable String) Event Sequence Number (EventSeqNumber) Recursive Event Number CorrelatedAlarmSeqNumber Recursive number of related disorder LocationCode Event location code  Obtained as key from IP in port table Stack Number Stack number Slot Number Slot number UnitNum Unit number Port number Port number InstallOrg Institution (eg Hyehwa)  Import equipment data and organization and institution role tables Higher Organization Code (HigherOrgCode) Higher country code Head Office Headquarters Name Service Network Service network code (e.g. Kornet, ME, Netspot ...)

When failure events for a specific IP are collected, such as the current status fault table and the event log table, various additional information must be filled in addition to the status information. The relevant facility table must be searched and filled.

Accordingly, the present invention searches in advance the contents of commonly used fields based on IP, including various application tables (status error table and event log table in the above example), and uses the IP address as a file name. Save it to a file before you put it.

For example, in the data network management system 10, the contents of the following Table 5 may be used.

For example, the facility information file for a specific IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd should be named "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd" and its contents will be

LocationCode ┃ StackNum ┃ UnitNum 번호 UnitNum ┃ PortUsgCode ┃ Equipment Master IP Address EquipUsgCode EquipAlias Head HeadOffice ) ┃ Accommodate Network ┃ PortSpeedCode ┃ RealPortSpeed Custom Customer ┃ Leaseed Line Number.

You can put separators like "┃" and fill them in order.

On the other hand, facility information that is subject to network management does not frequently change, and because the change does not occur in large quantities, only the IP that is changed due to the change history when the facility changes. Once the facility information is constructed in a file like this once for the IP to be managed, it will not take much room for the currentization.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) in a computer-readable form.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

As described above, the present invention does not need to search the database every time in order to find additional information on tens of thousands of management IPs which are periodically / aperiodically reduced, thereby reducing the burden on the database. There is an effect that can improve the performance of other application processors that use.
