Here, since the plurality of websites connected to the Internet service server 120 except for the first website 110-1 performs the same configuration and operation as the first website 110-1, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. do.

The network monitoring means 100 monitors the operation of the first to Nth websites 110-1,..., 110 -N on the Internet.

That is, the network monitoring server 104 of the network monitoring means 100 is the operating characteristic information of the first to N-th website (110-1, ..., 110-N) and the web operator to manage them, namely the first to Member information on the N-th member 130-1,..., 130-N is made into a database and stored in the member information database 102. At this time, the member information stored in the member information database 102 includes emergency contact information such as general phone numbers and mobile phone numbers of the first to Nth members 130-1,..., 130 -N. . It may also be configured to include an e-mail address in addition to an emergency contact such as a telephone number. In this case, the member information database 102 may be configured to include contact information of the operator of the Internet service server 120 as well as emergency contacts of the first to Nth members 130-1,..., 130 -N. .

In addition, the network monitoring server 104 of the network monitoring means 100 operates characteristics of the first to Nth websites 110-1,..., 110 -N stored in the member information database 102. Monitor the operating status of the website with the information.

That is, the network monitoring server 104 accesses the Internet address (URL) of the first website 110-1 through the Internet service server 120, and schedules homepage (HTML) data on the accessed homepage 116. After a request for every predetermined period, the homepage 116 service operation state of the first website 110-1 is determined according to whether the requested homepage information is output or the state of the homepage information output.

In other words, the network monitoring server 104 transmits a request message to the web server 114 by designating the Internet address of the first website 110-1 using the HTTP protocol, 114 sends a response message to the network monitoring server 104 that includes an error code for the transmitted request message.

Subsequently, the network monitoring server 104 determines whether a response message according to the request message is received or whether the service operation of the homepage 116 of the first website 110-1 is properly performed according to the error code analysis of the received response message. Judge.

Here, in the analysis of the error code, when the first digit of the error code consisting of 3 digits starts with 2, for example, when the error code is 2XX, it is determined that the service operation of the homepage 116 is properly performed. In addition, when the first digit of the error code does not start with 2, for example, when the error code is composed of 3XX, 1XX, it is determined that the service operation of the homepage 116 is not properly performed.

The analysis of such error codes is the same as the principle of web browser program such as NETCAPE or EXPLORER.

In addition, the network monitoring server 104 transmits check data having a predetermined size and pattern to the Internet service server 120 at regular intervals using the Internet control message protocol (ICMP), and the transmitted check data is fixed. It is determined whether or not the Internet service server 120 that provides a service for Internet access is detected by detecting whether it is returned within the time or the state of the returned check data.

That is, the network monitoring server 104 transmits check data having a size of 8 bytes and a pattern of '88888888' to the Internet service server 120, and checks whether the transmitted check data is returned again within a predetermined time. The status of the check data and the returned check data are monitored.

In this case, when the transmitted check data returns within a predetermined time, it is determined that the Internet service server 120 operates normally. If the transmitted check data does not return, it is determined that the Internet check server 120 malfunctions.

In addition, the network monitoring server 104 determines that the Internet service server 120 is malfunctioning even when the pattern of the check data returned within a predetermined time is transformed into a form of, for example, '88888887' or '8888886'.

Subsequently, when it is determined that the malfunction of the homepages of the first to Nth websites 110-1,..., 110 -N or the malfunction of the Internet service server 120 is determined by the operation as described above, the network monitoring server ( 104 is a first to Nth member (operator of first to Nth websites 110-1, ..., 110-N) stored in the member information database 102 or an operator of an Internet service server (). 130-1, ..., 130-N).
