Description

Hybrid monitoring solution system and server monitoring method thereby {HYBRID MONITORING SO.UTION SYSTEM AND SERVER MONITORING METHOD THEREBY}

The present invention relates to a hybrid monitoring solution system and a server monitoring method thereby, and more specifically, to a monitoring solution system with improved monitoring convenience and security by combining independent monitoring by a monitoring device and the characteristics of a SaaS cloud service, and a monitoring solution system using the same. It provides a method for monitoring servers.

Monitoring solutions that provide various interfaces are being introduced to monitor various servers, including database servers and web application servers (WAS).

For server monitoring, a method of building a standalone solution by having a separate monitoring server connected to the server and a method of monitoring the server through a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) cloud service are commonly used. Monitoring through the construction of a stand-alone solution has the disadvantage of being difficult to build and maintain the solution and requiring a lot of time and money. In addition, monitoring through SaaS cloud services increases security threats due to the constant risk of data leakage because data storage is performed through an external cloud service, and if the service to be monitored is disconnected from the outside, monitoring through a cloud service is difficult. . In addition, if a failure occurs in the cloud service being used, it cannot be used, which inevitably creates a gap in monitoring work.

Therefore, there is a need for a monitoring solution that can provide security while ensuring the convenience of building and using a server monitoring solution.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is a monitoring solution system with improved monitoring convenience and security by providing a monitoring server that is connected to the server to be monitored and collects monitoring data, and a cloud system that connects the monitoring server and the monitoring terminal. This provides a server monitoring method.

The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

A hybrid monitoring solution system according to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above-described technical problem includes a monitoring server that collects monitoring data from at least one server; and a SaaS cloud monitoring system that receives a monitoring request for the at least one server from a monitoring terminal, provides it to the monitoring server, and provides the collected monitoring data to the monitoring terminal.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the SaaS cloud monitoring system includes an interface unit connected to the monitoring terminal; a data management unit that manages the collected monitoring data; And it may include a database that stores the collected monitoring data.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the data management unit may generate an alarm and provide the alarm to the monitoring terminal when the result of the monitoring data satisfies a predetermined standard.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the SaaS cloud monitoring system is connected to the SaaS cloud monitoring system through a REST API (Representational State Transfer API), and the collected information is stored in the monitoring terminal using the monitoring terminal and the HTTPS protocol. Monitoring data can be transmitted.

A method of providing monitoring data from a server by a hybrid monitoring solution system according to another embodiment of the present invention to solve the above-described technical problem includes the steps of: a SaaS cloud monitoring system creating a connection with a monitoring terminal; Receiving a request for monitoring data for at least one server from the monitoring terminal; The SaaS cloud monitoring system transmitting the monitoring request to a monitoring server; transmitting monitoring data collected for the at least one server from the monitoring server to the SaaS cloud monitoring system; and providing the collected monitoring data to the monitoring terminal.

Specific details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and drawings.

The hybrid monitoring solution system according to an embodiment of the present invention can be relatively free from network environment failures by connecting the monitoring terminal to a SaaS cloud monitoring system rather than a monitoring server to request and receive monitoring data, and monitors data in a cloud environment. Security and data redundancy can be improved by managing and storing.

Additionally, when a user wants to monitor the server using a monitoring terminal, port forwarding is not required to connect the monitoring terminal because the user connects to the monitoring server through the SaaS cloud monitoring system.

The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

The database 330 may include at least one database that stores application data, log data, metadata used by the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300, and monitoring data received from the monitoring server 200.

Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a server monitoring method using a hybrid monitoring solution system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the server monitoring method using the hybrid monitoring solution system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the step of creating a connection between the SaaS cloud monitoring system and the monitoring terminal (S110), and the SaaS cloud monitoring system is connected to the monitoring terminal at least. A step of receiving a request for monitoring data for one server (S120), a step of the SaaS cloud monitoring system transmitting the request to the monitoring server (S130), and a step of the monitoring server collecting monitoring data of at least one server ( It may include steps S140), a step in which the monitoring server transmits the collected monitoring data to the SaaS cloud monitoring system (S150), and a step in which the SaaS cloud monitoring system provides the collected monitoring data to the monitoring terminal (S160).

A connection is created between the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 and one of the monitoring terminals 20-1 to 20-n (S110). Monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n) can access the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 through a user interface such as a web application provided by the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300. In order to access the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300, a user authentication process may be additionally performed. The SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 can provide a service corresponding to tenant information registered in advance through the authentication process to a connected monitoring terminal.

The monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n) connect to the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 rather than the monitoring server 200 to request and receive monitoring data, so they can be relatively free from network environment failures and can be relatively free from network environment failures in the cloud environment. Security and data redundancy can be improved by managing and storing monitoring data.

Additionally, if the user wishes to monitor the servers (10-1 to 10-n) using the monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n), the monitoring server (200) can be monitored through the SaaS cloud monitoring system (300). Since it is connected to, port forwarding is not required for connection of the monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n).

Next, a step (S120) may be performed in which the SaaS cloud monitoring system receives a request for monitoring data for at least one server from the monitoring terminal.

The connected monitoring terminal may provide a request for monitoring data to the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 in order to obtain the resource usage of at least one of the plurality of servers 10-1 to 10-n. Monitoring data requested by the monitoring terminal (20-1 to 20-n) may include resource usage of CPU, memory, disk, network, and process included in multiple servers (10-1 to 10-n). there is.

Monitoring data provided through the monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n) may include classifications such as the network address of the server subject to monitoring, the network address of the monitoring server, the type of monitoring data, and the monitoring period.

Subsequently, a step (S130) in which the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 transmits the request to the monitoring server may be performed (S130).

As described above, the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 can connect to the monitoring server 200 through the REST API and request monitoring data. A request for monitoring data may be transmitted to the monitoring server 200 based on the network address of the server included in the request for monitoring data, the network address of the monitoring server, etc.

Meanwhile, access to the monitoring server 200 to request monitoring data is only permitted through the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300, and the monitoring server 200 or a plurality of servers to request monitoring data from other external sources. Access to (10-1~10-n) becomes impossible. Accordingly, security can be improved by blocking hacking through the above-mentioned path.

The monitoring server 200, which has received a request for monitoring data, may perform a step (S140) of collecting monitoring data of at least one server 10-1 to 10-n. The monitoring data of the plurality of servers (10-1 to 10-n) collected by the monitoring server 200 is the resources of CPU, memory, disk, network, and process included in the plurality of servers (10-1 to 10-n). It may include usage amount, etc. The monitoring server 200 may collect the collected monitoring data by dividing the server resource usage included in each monitoring data into stages so that it is suitable for the output of the user interface provided by the interface unit 310.

Meanwhile, in Figure 1, a plurality of servers (10-1 to 10-n) are shown as being connected to each other on an equivalent hierarchical network layer, but this is not limited to this, and a plurality of servers (for example, 10-1) By connecting the monitoring agents of the servers 10-2 and 10-n, monitoring data from multiple servers can be collected on one server 10-1, and the collected data can be transmitted to the monitoring server 200. . Alternatively, the plurality of servers (10-1 to 10-n) may be servers connected to another cloud service, in which case the monitoring data of the servers constituting the cloud service is transmitted to the user through the system 100 of the present invention. can be provided.

The monitoring server 200 may perform a step (S150) of transmitting the collected monitoring data to the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300. As described above, the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 is connected to the monitoring server 200 through REST API and can receive monitoring data.

The data management unit 320 manages the monitoring data provided from the monitoring server 200, and generates an alarm when the data value included in the data satisfies a predetermined standard and transmits it to the monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n). You can.

Finally, the SaaS cloud monitoring system may include a step (S160) of providing collected monitoring data to the monitoring terminal.

The SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 may provide monitoring data to the monitoring terminals 20-1 to 20-n through the user interface created by the interface unit 310. Encrypted monitoring data may be transmitted between the monitoring terminals (20-1 to 20-n) and the SaaS cloud monitoring system 300 using the HTTPS protocol.
