Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for managing a standardized warning message in a switching center of a different type is provided to build an efficient and flexible switching network managing system, and reduce the amount of the data stored and transmitted from a state managing system, by standardizing different types of alarm and fault messages, filtering the alarm and adopting an event correlation. CONSTITUTION: An alarm message is received from the switching center(301). A syntax of the received alarm message is analyzed(302). It is determined whether a specific alarm occurs(303). If the specific alarm occurs, a location value of the alarm proper number(ID) of a state panel is incremented, and the details of the alarm are stored in a database, by determining whether the occurred specific alarm corresponds to the same location and event as previous ones(304-308). If the occurred specific alarm has an alarm level equal to that of a previous alarm, the details of alarm data are updated(313,314). If the alarm is released, the location value thereof is decreased and the details thereof are deleted(309-312).

Description

Standardized Alert Message Management Method for Heterogeneous Exchanges

The present invention relates to an alarm management subsystem for unified processing of different alarm and fault messages to inform the status management system of the status of an exchange network in an area managed by the status management subsystem efficiently and collectively, in particular. A method for managing a standardized alarm message of a heterogeneous exchange and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the same.

In general, there are various types of voice service exchanges (hereinafter referred to as exchanges) currently in operation, so it is not easy to develop an operation support system (OSS) to manage them centrally. Since the types and contents of the different types are quite different, most switching network management systems have to deal with alarm and fault messages independently between switching types.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for managing a standardized alert message of a heterogeneous exchange in a switching network management system, the method comprising: receiving a message from a switch, parsing the same, and determining whether a specific alert has occurred; A second step of increasing an alarm unique number (ID) position value of a status panel and storing alarm detail information if an alarm occurs as a result of the determination of the first step; A third step of reducing the alarm unique number (ID) position value of the status panel and deleting the alarm detailed information if the alarm is released as a result of the determination of the first step; And a fourth step in which the status scanner periodically scans the status panel to find necessary information and transmit it to the status manager.

The present invention also provides a system for receiving a message from an exchange, parsing it, and determining whether a specific alarm has occurred in a switching network management system having a large-capacity processor for standardized alarm message management of heterogeneous exchanges in the switching network management system. 1 function; A second function of increasing an alarm unique number (ID) position value of a status panel and storing alarm detailed information when an alarm occurs as a result of the determination of the first function; A third function of reducing an alarm unique number (ID) position value of a status panel and deleting alarm detail information if the alarm is released as a result of the determination of the first function; And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a fourth function in which the status scanner periodically scans the status panel to find and transmit necessary information to the status manager.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a switching network management system to which the present invention is applied and shows a relationship between an alarm message management subsystem 102, a status management subsystem 104, and an exchange 101.

The alert message management subsystem 102 receives the alert message from the exchange 101, processes it appropriately, interprets it as a standardized state, and reports the state of the exchange network managed by the state management subsystem 104 as a whole.

2 is a detailed configuration diagram of an alarm message manager to which the present invention is applied. The status mapper 202 receives an alarm message from a heterogeneous exchange 201 and changes to a standard ID number. If a status is displayed in the Status Panel 203 and detailed status data is stored in the Status Detail DB (SDDB) 204, the Status Scanner 205 periodically displays a status panel ( Status Panel (203) is monitored to inform the status manager of the status of all the management targets for which alarms have occurred so far with detailed status data.

That is, the configuration of the present invention is a part (Status Mapper) 202 to set the Status Panel (203) with reference to the standardized database (Status Mapping Table: SMT) 206 in response to the message of the exchange largely (202) And a status scanner 205 for periodically monitoring the status panel 203 and reporting it to the status management subsystem.

The Schema of the Status Detail DB (SDDB) 204 table is shown in Table 1 below.

office_id (1) ess_id (2) date (3) time (4) alarm_id (5) level_num (6) loc (7)

Description of each field in Table 1 is as follows.

The telephone station_unique number (office_id) 1 is a unique number (ID) of the switching center (telephone station) to which the specific exchange referred to in the exchange facility information belongs.

The exchange_unique number (ess_id) 2 is a unique number (ID) of a specific exchange referred to in the exchange facility information.

Date (3) is the date when the alarm occurred.

Time 4 is the time at which the alarm occurred.

Alarm_id (5) is the unique number (ID) of the alarm as defined by the SMT.

Alarm level (level_num) 6 is an alarm level value according to the alarm level defined in SMT, and the values defined for each alarm level are as follows. In other words, in the first step, WARNING = "1", in the second step, MINOR = "2", in the third step, MAJOR = "3", and when there is no level, # " define.

The loc 7 is the location of the equipment where the alarm has occurred.

The status panel 203 structure is shown in Table 2 below.

1 2 3 4 n-2 n-1 n One 0 One 3 0 2 0 0

The set of status bytes in Table 2 is called a status packet.

The location of each byte is the same as the alarm_id.

The numerical value of each byte indicates the number of occurrences of the corresponding alarm_id. For example, if you define a processor overload condition of “4”, 3 in 4 positions indicates that three of the exchanges (regardless of the exchange type) are under processor overload under the current management area.

The status packet defined in the status panel 203 is periodically transmitted by the status scanner 205 to the status management subsystem so that the status of the exchanges can be grasped at once under the management area. If detailed situational analysis is required for each state, see State Detail Database (SDDB) 204.

3A and 3B are flow charts of one embodiment of a standardized method for implementing alarm message management according to the present invention, and FIG. 3A is a flow chart of one embodiment of a state mapper according to the present invention.

The part that sets up the status panel, that is, the Status Mapper 202, receives the message from the switch 201 (301), parses it (302), and receives a message indicating that a particular alert has occurred (303). After the alarm_title is found, the corresponding alarm_ unique number (alarm_id) is found by the SMT 206 and the alarm level (lever_num) is determined (304).

It is an alarm to be managed (305), if it is not the same event as the same location (306), the corresponding position value of the Status Panel (203) is increased by one (one) (307), and the detailed information is detailed in the status. It is stored in the database (Status Detail DB: SDDB) table 204 (308).

If the alarm is to be managed (305) but the same location and the same event (306), and the same alarm level (313), the detailed information is stored in the state detail database table (204) (314).

Upon receiving a message indicating that a specific alarm has been released (309), an alarm unique number (ID) by an alarm type is determined (310), and the corresponding position value of the status panel (204) is decreased by one (one). In operation 311, the detailed information is deleted from the status detail database table 204 or transferred to another database (DB) and then deleted (312).

Figure 3b is a flow diagram of one embodiment of a business process of the status scanner according to the present invention.

The Status Scanner 205 periodically scans the Status Panel 203 and transmits the location number and value of the byte having a value of 1 or more to the Status Manager (315) ( 316), if necessary, the alarm_unique number (alarm_id) having the same number as the corresponding location is found in the status detail database (204) and transmitted together with the status manager.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.

As described above, the present invention standardizes heterogeneous alarm and fault messages generated by various types of exchanges, reduces the size of data transmitted and stored to the state management system, and filters the alarms. ), It is possible to build an efficient and flexible switching network management system through event correlation.
