Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an object tracking monitoring system that moves between information processing apparatuses, and more particularly to an object tracking monitoring system that moves between information processing apparatuses in an information processing system in which a plurality of information processing apparatuses are connected via a network.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 12 shows an example of a conventional monitoring system for a system that monitors objects on an information processing system (for example, a distributed system) in which a plurality of information processing apparatuses are connected via a network.
[0003]
In FIG. 12, for example, as in an information processing system in which a plurality of servers are clustered, information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n (n is a positive integer) are connected via a network. The management server 9 is connected to the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n via a network in order to control the execution and monitoring of the objects on the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n.
[0004]
Referring to FIG. 13, the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8 n include object execution units 811 to 8 n 1 that execute objects, monitoring execution units 812 to 8 n 2 that monitor object execution, and monitoring data storage that stores object monitoring data. It is comprised from the part 813-8n3.
[0005]
The management server 9 calls the object execution units 811 to 8n1 of the information processing devices 81 to 8n to instruct execution of the objects, and simultaneously notifies the object execution management unit 92 of the object movement destination, and the object execution management unit 91 A monitoring execution management unit 92 that notifies an error to the management unit 91 and calls the monitoring execution units 812 to 8n2 of the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n to instruct monitoring of the object.
[0006]
The conventional information processing system having such a configuration operates as follows.
[0007]
The management server 9 centrally manages the execution and monitoring of objects on the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n. The object execution management unit 91 of the management server 9 calls the object execution unit 811 of the information processing apparatus 81 and instructs the execution of the object. At the same time, the monitoring execution management unit 92 of the management server 9 calls the monitoring execution unit 812 of the information processing apparatus 81 and instructs to monitor the object. The monitoring execution unit 812 executes object monitoring in accordance with an instruction from the monitoring execution management unit 92 and stores monitoring data in the monitoring data storage unit 813.
[0008]
When the monitoring execution unit 812 detects an execution error of the object, the monitoring execution unit 812 stores the execution error information in the monitoring data storage unit 813 and notifies the monitoring execution management unit 92 of the management server 9 of the error. The monitoring execution management unit 92 notifies the object execution management unit 91 of an error. The object execution management unit 91 calls the object execution unit 8n1 of the information processing device 8n (here, it is assumed that the destination of the object is determined by the information processing device 8n by some method, but the determination method is arbitrary), and the object Is instructed to execute. At the same time, the object execution management unit 91 notifies the monitoring execution management unit 92 of the object movement destination. The monitoring execution management unit 92 calls the monitoring execution unit 8n2 of the information processing apparatus 8n and instructs the monitoring of the object. The monitoring execution unit 8n2 executes object monitoring in accordance with an instruction from the monitoring execution management unit 92, and stores monitoring data in the monitoring data storage unit 8n3.
[0009]
In another example of the prior art, a condition setting means for setting an execution attribute at the processing start point on the client side, a request pseudo object means for setting an execution attribute on transfer data, and an execution attribute for a task on the target side There is a receiving object adapter means for setting (Push type) that sends information about the execution environment etc. from the client side (calling source) to the target side (calling destination) (for example, Patent Literature) 1), in the present invention, the monitoring data to be taken over is acquired from the movement destination (ie, the target side) of the object to the movement source (ie, the caller) (pull type), and the method of taking over the information is different. ing.
[0010]
In another example of the prior art, a relay object (interface object, communication log collection object) that provides the same interface is created and operated from the interface definition of the object that provides the service. However, the present invention is different from the present invention in that the monitoring data is directly transferred without using a relay object.
[0011]
Furthermore, in another example of the prior art, there is a configuration in which configuration information (monitoring information) of agent object information held by a monitored device is returned to the monitoring device by a configuration acquisition instruction from the monitoring device (for example, In the present invention, the monitoring information exchange procedure between the monitoring data management units is not mentioned in the present invention. In the present invention, the monitoring information is acquired from the movement destination of the object to the movement source. However, the monitoring data management unit of the movement destination / movement source has an equal relationship, and the master / slave device is a monitoring device / monitored device. The point of view is essentially different, not the relationship.

[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described conventional technology has the following problems.
[0014]
The first problem is that the monitoring execution unit 812 does not take over the monitoring data even if the execution of the object moves to another information processing apparatus. The reason is that the monitoring unit is for each information processing apparatus, and monitoring for each object is not performed.
[0015]
The second problem is that the processing of the monitoring execution management unit 92 depends on the processing of the object execution management unit 91. This is because, when the object execution management unit 91 changes the execution location of the object, the monitoring execution management unit 92 must change the execution location of the monitoring process according to the call of the object execution management unit 91.
[0016]
The third problem is that the information processing apparatuses 81 to 8n must perform communication via the management server 9 for object execution management and monitoring processing, which increases overhead. The reason is that the management server 9 centrally performs object execution control and monitoring control.

Step C2 of 6).
[0051]
When an execution error of the object 4 is detected in the monitoring process of the information processing apparatus 11 (Yes in step C3 in FIG. 6), the monitoring execution unit 113 sends the execution error information via the monitoring data management unit 114 ( Step C4 in FIG. 6) is stored in the monitoring data storage unit 115 (step C5 in FIG. 6). The monitoring execution unit 113 notifies the execution error information to the object management unit 112, and the object management unit 112 receives the notification and starts the movement process of the object 4 (step C6 in FIG. 6).
[0052]
In the object movement processing from the information processing apparatus 11 to the information processing apparatus 1n (here, it is assumed that the movement destination of the object 4 is determined by the information processing apparatus 1n by some method, but the determination method is arbitrary), the object management unit 112 obtains reference information for the object management unit 1n2 stored in the object management unit reference storage unit 22 of the object management unit reference management server 2 from the object management unit reference management unit 21 (step D1 in FIG. 7). The object management unit 112 instructs the object management unit 1n2 of the information processing device 1n to re-execute the object 4 with the object ID 41 (step D2 in FIG. 7). As described above, the reference information of the object management unit 1n2 includes information necessary for calling the processing of the object management unit 1n2 via the network in the way of calling processing between general distributed objects. Yes. Using this information, the object management unit 112 gives an instruction by calling the re-execution process of the object 4 with the object ID 41 of the object management unit 1n2.

In the object monitoring start process in the information processing apparatus 1n, the monitoring execution unit 1n3 notifies the monitoring data management unit 1n4 of the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4 (step E4 in FIG. 8). The monitoring data management unit 1n4 designates the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4 from the monitoring data management unit reference management unit 31 of the monitoring data management unit reference management server 3, and transfers to the monitoring data management unit 114 having the monitoring data of the object ID 41. Is acquired (step E5 in FIG. 8). The monitoring data management unit 1n4 acquires the monitoring data of the object 4 with the object ID 41 from the monitoring data management unit 114 using the acquired reference information (step E6 in FIG. 8), and the monitoring data storage unit 1n5 of the information processing device 1n. (Step E7 in FIG. 8). Specifically, as described above, the reference information to the monitoring data management unit 114 includes information necessary for calling the processing of the monitoring data management unit 114 via the network. The monitoring data management unit 1n4 calls a process for acquiring monitoring data of the object 4 with the object ID 41 from the monitoring data management unit 114. The monitoring data management unit 1n4 takes over the previous monitoring data of the object 4 moved from the information processing apparatus 11, and continuously monitors the object 4 (step E8 in FIG. 8).
[0055]
Next, a specific example will be described.
[0056]
In a large-scale distributed system environment, various objects 4 perform processing on a plurality of information processing apparatuses. In order to increase the reliability and availability of the information processing apparatus, it is necessary to move the object 4 on the information processing apparatus in which the failure has occurred to another information processing apparatus and continue the processing. At that time, it is important that the moved object 4 can continuously monitor the original object 4 by taking over the monitoring data of the original object 4. In the following, a process in the case where the progress of the process executed by the object 4 is periodically monitored and the completion of the process is confirmed will be described.
[0057]
In FIG. 3, n information processing apparatuses 11 to 1n constituting the distributed system are connected by a network. Each of the information processing apparatuses 11 to 1n is connected to the object management unit reference management server 2 and the monitoring data management unit reference management server 3 through a network. Reference information for the object management units 112 to 1n2 of the information processing apparatuses 11 to 1n that have already been activated is registered in the object management unit reference storage unit 22 of the object management unit reference management server 2.
[0058]
The information processing apparatus 11 starts execution processing of the object 4 with the specified object ID 41 in response to a request from another information processing apparatus to the object management unit 112. First, the object management unit 112 calls the object execution unit 111. The object execution unit 111 calls the object execution means 42 of the object 4 with the specified object ID 41 and starts executing the object 4. At the same time, the object management unit 112 notifies the monitoring execution unit 113 of the object ID 41 of the object 4 that has started execution.

In the information processing apparatus 11, following the process described above, the monitoring execution unit 113 starts monitoring the object 4 with the notified object ID 41. The monitoring execution unit 113 acquires the degree of progress of processing executed by the object 4 from the object 4 at 1-minute intervals. Simultaneously with the start of the monitoring process, the monitoring execution unit 113 notifies the monitoring data management unit 114 of the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4. The monitoring data management unit 114 generates reference information for the monitoring data management unit 114 itself, and sets information obtained by combining the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4 and the reference information to the monitoring data of the monitoring data management unit reference management server 3. Register in the management unit reference management unit 31. Reference information to the monitoring data management unit 114 is information necessary for communicating with the monitoring data management unit 114 from the outside. The monitoring data management unit reference management unit 31 stores the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4 and the reference information for the monitoring data management unit 114 as a set in the monitoring data management unit reference storage unit 32. Thereby, the object execution start process of the information processing apparatus 11 is completed.
[0060]
The monitoring execution unit 113 passes the progress of the processing of the object 4 collected at 1 minute intervals to the monitoring data management unit 114 and stores it in the monitoring data storage unit 115.
[0061]
If the progress of the processing of the object 4 has not changed or the progress cannot be acquired, the monitoring execution unit 113 determines an execution error and monitors the execution error information via the monitoring data management unit 114. Store in the data storage unit 115. Here, it is assumed that the progress of processing of the object 4 has not changed at 60%, and the monitoring data storage unit 115 stores that the progress has stopped at 60%. The monitoring execution unit 113 notifies the object management unit 112 of execution error information. Upon receiving the notification, the object management unit 112 starts the movement process for the object 4.
[0062]
The object management unit 112 assumes that an object movement process from the information processing apparatus 11 to the information processing apparatus 1n (here, the movement destination of the object 4 is determined by the information processing apparatus 1n by some method, but the determination method is arbitrary) ). The object management unit 112 acquires reference information for the registered object management unit 1n2 from the object management unit reference management unit 21 of the object management unit reference management server 2. The object management unit 112 instructs the object management unit 1n2 of the information processing device 1n to re-execute the object 4 with the object ID 41.
[0063]
The object management unit 1n2 of the information processing device 1n calls the object execution unit 1n1, calls the object execution unit 42 of the object 4, and starts the execution of the object 4. At the same time, the object management unit 1n2 notifies the monitoring execution unit 1n3 of the object ID 41 of the object 4 that has started execution.
[0064]
The monitoring execution unit 1n3 notifies the monitoring data management unit 1n4 of the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4. The monitoring data management unit 1n4 designates the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4 from the monitoring data management unit reference management unit 31 of the monitoring data management unit reference management server 3, and the monitoring data management unit 114 having the monitoring data of the object ID 41 Get reference information for. The monitoring data management unit 1n4 acquires the monitoring data of the object 4 with the object ID 41 from the monitoring data management unit 114 using the acquired reference information, and stores it in the monitoring data storage unit 1n5 of the information processing apparatus 1n. In the monitoring data storage unit 1n5, for example, from the monitoring data “the processing progress of the object 4 is 0%” accumulated in the information processing apparatus 11, the processing progress of the object 4 progresses to 60%, and from there. All collected monitoring data up to the monitoring data “not changed” is stored. The monitoring data management unit 1n4 takes over the previous monitoring data of the object 4 that has moved from the information processing apparatus 11, and continuously monitors the object 4. The monitoring execution unit 1n3 ends the monitoring process when the progress of the processing of the object 4 reaches 100%.
[0065]
In this manner, the object 4 that has moved between the information processing apparatuses can be continuously monitored.
[0066]
According to the first embodiment, since the monitoring data before movement can be acquired from the object ID 41 of the object 4 to which the monitoring execution unit of the movement destination has moved, for the object 4 moved to another information processing apparatus, An effect is obtained that monitoring data before movement can be taken over and monitoring can be continuously performed at the movement destination.
[0067]
Further, since the monitoring execution unit can start the monitoring process when the object 4 moves from another information processing apparatus, it is possible to continue monitoring regardless of the method of controlling the execution location of the object 4.
[0068]
Furthermore, since the monitoring data is directly transferred from the monitoring data management unit before the transfer to the monitoring data management unit at the transfer destination and does not pass through another management server for sharing the monitoring data, Can be managed only by reference information, and the processing can be lightened.
[0069]
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0070]
9, the object tracking monitoring system that moves between information processing apparatuses according to the second embodiment is the same as the object tracking monitoring system that moves between information processing apparatuses according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. The information processing apparatuses 51 to 5n are different from the system in that the monitoring execution units 513 to 5n3 have object list storage units 516 to 5n6. Taking the information processing apparatus 51 as an example, the object list storage unit 516 has a function of storing a list of objects 4 executed by the object execution unit 511 acquired by the monitoring execution unit 513 at regular time intervals. In addition, the part which does not mention especially adds the code | symbol which added 400 to the code | symbol shown in FIG. 3, and abbreviate | omits those detailed description.
[0071]
The object management unit 512 starts execution processing of the object 4 with the specified object ID 41 in response to a request from another information processing apparatus. The object management unit 512 calls the object execution unit 511 and executes the object execution unit 42 of the object 4 with the specified object ID 41, but does not notify the monitoring execution unit 513 of the object ID 41.
[0072]
On the other hand, the monitoring execution unit 513 obtains a list of the objects 4 executed by the object execution unit 511 from the object execution unit 511 at regular time intervals, and stores the list of the objects 4 stored in the object list storage unit 516. Compare. If there is an object 4 that is not included in the latter, monitoring of the object 4 is started, and the list of the object 4 in the object list storage unit 516 is updated. The monitoring execution unit 513 notifies the monitoring data management unit 514 of the object ID 41 of the monitoring target object 4. The subsequent processing is the same as that of the object tracking monitoring system that moves between the information processing apparatuses according to the first embodiment.
[0073]
In this way, by comparing the lists of the objects 4 being executed by the object execution unit 511, the object 4 that has moved from another information processing apparatus without receiving a notification of execution start from the object management unit 512 can be obtained. Monitoring can be started. As a result, if a list of the objects 4 being executed can be acquired, the moving object 4 can be continuously monitored without cooperation with an object execution system such as the object execution unit 511 or the object management unit 512.

【The invention's effect】
The first effect is that an object moved to another information processing apparatus can be continuously monitored at the destination by taking over the monitoring data before the movement. The reason is that the monitoring data before the movement can be acquired from the object ID of the object to which the monitoring execution unit of the movement destination has moved.
[0083]
The second effect is that monitoring can be continued regardless of the control method of the execution place of the object. This is because the monitoring execution unit can start the monitoring process when the object moves from another information processing apparatus.
[0084]
The third effect is that the connection between servers for exchanging monitoring data can be managed only by reference information, and the processing can be reduced. The reason is that the monitoring data is directly transferred from the monitoring data management unit before movement to the monitoring data management unit at the movement destination, and does not pass through another management server for sharing the monitoring data.
