Description

  The present invention relates to an integrated management system, an integrated management apparatus, an integrated management method, and a program for setting and changing setting information collectively in one place in an operation management system that sets monitoring analysis of a plurality of monitored devices.

  Information communication systems capable of exchanging and sharing data via the Internet have become widespread in companies and other organizations. With such an information communication system, various information communication services according to the needs of users are provided. As specific information and communication services, for example, electronic payment services that make it possible to purchase products with electronic money at convenience stores, and disaster prevention information such as weather and rainfall observed at observation stations by e-mail There is a disaster information mail notification service.

  Thus, as the business activity and the foundation of life depend on the information communication system, it is important to manage the information communication system so that it can be operated at all times. Since this operation management requires specialized knowledge and technology, it is generally entrusted to specialized operation service companies. An operation service company builds and uses an operation management system for managing the operating status of monitored devices such as server devices, network devices, storage devices, operating systems (OS), and application software in information communication systems. The operating status of each monitored device is constantly monitored, and the operating status is displayed on the management terminal of the operation management system.

  The administrator of the operation service company analyzes whether the abnormal state is different from the normal stable state from the multiple operating states displayed on the management terminal of the operation management system. Cause investigation and recovery work. The procedure for analyzing whether or not the administrator is in an abnormal state different from the normal stable state is described as rules in advance, and these rules are set to be referenced in the operation management system. In some cases, the abnormal state is judged only by the operation management system without going through the administrator.

  The above-described operation management system includes a management agent disposed on each monitored apparatus side, a management manager disposed on the operation management system side, and a management terminal (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The management agent collects management data from the monitored device on which the self agent is arranged, and transmits it to the operation management system according to the setting information indicating what information is collected from the monitored device. On the other hand, the operation management system performs setting of setting information for each management agent, reception of management data, accumulation in a database, and the like. Setting information to be set for the management agent is created in advance by the administrator for each monitored device and stored in the storage device. The management manager reads the setting information from the storage device and sends it to the management agent.

  As a specific example of the communication service, Patent Document 2 describes a technique for providing a quality assurance type communication service in a multi-domain network. The technology of Patent Document 2 is a network service management device that manages a device group included in an operation management network of each provider network and receives a service order, and a multi-domain service broker that provides an intermediary function for a plurality of providers to conclude And consists of The multi-domain service broker extracts the service information and domain information that each provider can provide from the network service management device, and extracts the network service management device of the domain that satisfies the required quality when a communication service request occurs from the customer. And means for instructing the corresponding network service management apparatus to set necessary information.

  However, as new information communication services are provided and existing information communication services are improved, information communication systems are becoming larger and more sophisticated year by year. As a result, the information communication system is composed of a plurality of types of components such as a plurality of types of server devices, network devices, storages, operating systems (OSs), and application software. Since operation requirements, performance requirements, and security requirements required for each component of a communication system are different, multiple viewpoints such as failure detection, response performance, and security violation have become necessary. For this reason, operation service companies have been managing multiple types of operation management systems, such as operation management systems that use failure-only operation management systems, operation management systems that detect response performance abnormalities, and operation management systems that detect security violations. Operation management has come to be used.

  An administrator of an operation service company is required to perform setting work for appropriately monitoring and analyzing these multiple types of operation management systems. However, the burden of setting work by the administrator of an operation service company that operates and manages a large-scale and sophisticated information system with a plurality of operation management systems is large. Only a small number of excellent administrators have limited physical work. As a result, partial setting failures occur due to insufficiently skilled administrators, and behavior monitoring and control cannot be performed properly, and information communication is performed. There is also a problem that the stable operation rate of the service decreases.

  In order to reduce the burden of setting work of such a plurality of types of operation management systems, the setting management method described in Patent Document 3 uses a plurality of types of setting contents for setting files and a plurality of settings for editing the setting contents. By creating and displaying the setting screen that can edit the setting contents of the multiple types of setting files from the intermediate file, the operation administrator can create a single setting screen. You can edit multiple types of settings.

  In addition, in Patent Document 4, the setting information values and setting rules of the business system application are held on the business application side, and the display / change of the setting information is centrally managed on the management computer side based on the information. Describes how to facilitate the operation and management of multiple computers, change setting information with the correct settings, and manage the addition and change of application setting information. ing.

  Patent Document 5 describes that in an operation management system including a monitoring device that monitors the status of a monitored device, automatic generation of monitoring setting information that is set to the monitoring device without excess or deficiency is described. The monitoring setting generation means of Patent Literature 5 includes monitoring setting information corresponding to the operation monitoring rule stored in the analysis setting storage unit in the operation monitoring rule in the setting knowledge stored in the setting knowledge storage unit. It is generated based on the setting knowledge corresponding to the type of condition.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-041327 JP 2001-282760 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-199577 JP 2008-015975 A JP 2008-033725 A

  However, it is not possible to reduce the setting work of the administrator only by a technique for displaying a setting screen that unifies the format of setting contents of a plurality of types of operation management systems and a technique for generating monitoring setting information based on setting knowledge. The reason is that there are a huge number of setting items for multiple types of operation management systems exceeding 10,000 items, and these setting items include setting items with the same notation and different contents, and setting items with the same contents with different notations. This is because it cannot be solved by unifying only the format. Further, it is difficult to obtain in advance setting knowledge for setting these enormous setting items without excess or deficiency.

  In the setting management method for a plurality of types of operation management systems of related technologies, there is a problem that the setting work of the administrator cannot be reduced.

  The first problem is that the number of setting items in a plurality of types of operation management systems is enormous, and the burden on the administrator who edits the values of these setting items is large.

  Secondly, if there are setting items that overlap among setting items of a plurality of types of operation management systems, there is a problem that the burden on the administrator who edits the values of these setting items is large. This is because if one of the values of the overlapping setting item is edited, it is necessary to edit all other overlapping setting items.

  Third, if there are setting items with the same notation in the setting items of multiple types of operation management systems, or setting items with the same contents in different notations, the burden on the administrator who edits the values of these setting items There was a problem of being big.

Data structure. Each setting specification information stored in the setting specification storage unit 16 includes a name of the operation management system 3, a setting information list, a setting item name, and a setting item description.

  Examples of setting specification information are shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. FIG. 5 is an example in which the same setting specification information as FIG. 3 is expressed in a different format.

  The name of the operation management system 3 indicates the operation management system 3 that refers to the setting specification. In FIG. 3, “operation management system 1” on the third line corresponds to the name. In FIG. 4, “operation management system 2” in the third line corresponds to the name, and in FIG. 5, “operation management system 1” in the first line corresponds to the name.

  The setting information list is a content indicating a list of names of setting information of the operation management system 3 that refers to the setting specifications. In FIG. 3, “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” on line 7 and “AgentSetting \ Process.txt” on line 16 are included in the setting information list. In FIG. 4, “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” on the seventh line corresponds to the setting information list. In FIG. 5, “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” indicated by “file” corresponds to the setting information list.

  The setting item name list is a content indicating a list of setting item names of the setting information of the operation management system 3 that refers to the setting specification. In FIG. 3, it is a portion indicated by the item names on the 8th to 12th lines, the 8th line corresponds to “ConfigNum”, and the 9th line corresponds to “Web_serv”. In FIG. 4, the items are indicated by the item names in the 8th to 12th lines, the 8th line corresponds to “ConfigNum”, and the 9th line corresponds to “name”. In FIG. 5, it is a portion corresponding to “setting item name” indicated by “description content”.

  The hierarchy represents the depth of the branch level (or nested classification) of the setting item in the belonging setting information when the setting information has a branch structure (tree structure) or a nested classification structure. The setting item on the eighth line in FIG. 3 is layer = 1, which indicates that it is an upper item in the setting information. The ninth level of hierarchy = 11 indicates that it is included in the item of hierarchy = 1 (or a setting item branched from hierarchy = 1). In the example of FIG. 3, the depth is represented by the number of digits in the hierarchy. The greater the number of digits, the deeper the hierarchy.

  The description of the setting item is a character string that describes the setting item of the setting information of the operation management system 3 that refers to the setting specification. In FIG. 3, the description is made on the description from the 8th line to the 12th line. The 8th line corresponds to “name of monitoring setting”, and the 9th line corresponds to “host name on which the Web application operates”. In FIG. 4, the description is given in the description from the 8th line to the 12th line. The 8th line corresponds to “name of monitoring setting” and the 9th line corresponds to “host name on which the application operates”.

The item relationship extraction unit 17 stores the generated relationship rule in the item relationship storage unit 13.

  The item relationship extraction unit 17 compares the two pieces of setting information and extracts, for example, the setting items having the same relationship between the item names and the description contents as the setting items having the same relationship. Furthermore, it is good also as conditions that a hierarchy corresponds. Relations having the same value to be set may be determined based on the similarity of keywords extracted from the explanation contents, instead of completely matching the explanation contents. In addition, the classification of setting items between the operation management systems 3, for example, differences in time, address, etc. are determined in advance, and a relationship is set with a certain difference between items whose item names and description contents match. May be.

  The item relation storage unit 13 in FIG. 2 is a means for storing a relation rule that describes a condition for aggregating setting items in which values to be set (item values) are in a certain relationship. It consists of a data structure set for storage. Each relation rule stored in the item relation storage unit 13 includes a rule ID and a relation condition.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the relation rule. The rule ID is an identification code for distinguishing each related rule from other related rules. The content of the relationship condition indicates a set item having a fixed relationship between set values (item values) and the fixed relationship.

  In FIG. 6, the relation rule whose rule ID is “RJ0001” is the setting item “ConfigNum” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the operation management system 3 “M1” and the setting of the operation management system 3 “M2”. Indicates that the setting item “ConfigNum” in the file “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” has the same contents.

Indicates that the setting item “name” in ApSetting.txt has the same content. The relation rule whose rule ID is “RJ0003” is the setting item “ServerIP” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the operation management system 3 “M1” and the setting file “AgentSetting \ of the operation management system 3“ M2 ”. Indicates that the setting item “IP” in ApSetting.txt has the same content. Further, the relational rule with the rule ID “RJ0004” includes the setting item “UpperError” in the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the operation management system 3 “M1” and the setting file “of the operation management system 3“ M2 ”. Indicates that the setting item “UpperError” in “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” is different. In FIG. 6, the symbol “! =” Means an inequality sign, indicating that the following two items are not equal.

  FIG. 7 shows examples of different types of relationship rules. In FIG. 7, setting items for which the same value is set are shown in relation to setting IDs. In addition, setting items having different contents are represented by inequality signs in relation to setting IDs. FIG. 7 shows the same contents as FIG. 6, and the relational conditions with the same rule ID are substantially the same contents.

  The integrated setting generation unit 11 in FIG. 2 aggregates setting items in which a set value (item value) has a fixed relationship from setting information of a plurality of types of operation management systems 3 to generate integrated setting information. It is. Specifically, the integrated setting generation unit 11 refers to the plurality of setting information storage units 32 and the item relationship storage unit 13 and extracts setting item names and setting item values from the setting information, and duplicate setting item names or notations If there is a setting item name that differs in content, these setting items are collected.

  The setting data input unit 18 inputs data to be set for each item. For the aggregated items having a certain relationship, one piece of data to be set in any of them is input. The data when the integrated setting information was generated last time or standard data may be displayed and only the data to be changed may be input. The integrated setting generation unit 11 sets the data input by the setting data input unit 18 to each setting item, and generates integrated setting information. When the data to be set in any of the aggregated items having a certain relationship is input, the data is set in the related setting items according to the certain relationship.

  The integrated setting storage unit 15 is a means for storing integrated setting information obtained by aggregating the setting information stored in the setting information storage unit 32 of each operation management system 3, and is set in, for example, an external storage such as a hard disk or a main storage. Data structure. Each integrated setting stored in the integrated setting storage unit 15 includes an integrated setting ID, an operation management system list, a setting information list, and setting items included in the setting information. Each setting item includes a code for identifying the setting item, a value to be set (item value), and an item relationship.

  The operation management system list is a content indicating a list of names of the operation management systems 3 aggregated in the integrated setting information. FIG. 8 shows that “operation management system 1” on the sixth line and “operation management system 2” on the seventh line are included in this integrated setting information. The operation management system list defines an identifier (ID) for identifying the operation management system 3 in the integrated setting. The ID of “operation management system 1” is M1, and the ID of “operation management system 2” is M2.

  The setting information list is a content indicating a list of setting information of the operation management system 3 aggregated by the integrated setting information. In FIG. 8, the setting information with system ID = M1 and the name AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt is shown in the 13th line and below, and the setting information with system ID = M2 and the name is AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt in the 22nd line and below. Is shown to be included.

  In the setting information, setting items are arranged following the name. Setting items include a setting ID, a hierarchy, an item name, an item value, and an item relationship. The setting ID is a code for identifying a setting item. For example, in the setting item on the 14th line in FIG. 8, the setting ID is “1_1_0001”. The hierarchy is the same as the hierarchy of the setting specification information (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  The item name is the name of the setting item given by the operation management system 3. In FIG. 8, “ConfigNum” indicated by the item name on the 14th line, “Web_serv” indicated by the item name on the 15th line, “SoftName” indicated by the item name on the 16th line, and the like are applicable.

  The item value indicates a value (data) set in the setting item. In FIG. 8, “Web Monitoring” indicated by the item value on the 14th line, “Demo01” indicated by the item value on the 15th line, “Apache” indicated by the item value on the 16th line, and the like are applicable. .

  The item relationship indicates a setting item in which a value (item value) set between two setting items has a certain relationship and the certain relationship. In FIG. 8, the item relationship of the setting item on the 14th line is “2_1_0001”, which indicates that the same value as the setting item whose setting ID is “2_1_0001” on the 23rd line may be set. The item relationship of the setting item (setting ID = 1_1_0003) on the 16th row is “none”, which indicates that there is no other setting item having a fixed item value relationship.

  In general, the item relationship is represented by an arithmetic expression including setting IDs of setting items having a certain relationship. For example, the item relationship is represented by an arithmetic operation expression or a logical operation expression including the setting ID in the term. When the item value is a character string, the item relationship is represented by an arithmetic expression for manipulating the character string. In addition, the item relationship may be an arithmetic expression including two or more setting IDs. FIG. 8 shows an example in which the same value is set for two setting items as the item relationship. In FIG. 8, only a pair of setting items for which the same value is set is shown. However, when a plurality of setting items have a certain relationship with one setting item, or a plurality of setting items are chained. There may be an item relationship in which each is a fixed relationship or a combination thereof.

  The expansion condition storage unit 14 in FIG. 2 is a means for storing expansion rules describing conditions for expanding the integrated setting information, and is constituted by a data structure set in, for example, an external storage such as a hard disk or a main memory. The Here, “expand” refers to the representative setting item or the value set in the item relationship among the setting items in which the set values have a certain relationship, and the respective setting items of the operation management system 3 related thereto. And actually setting values according to the item relationship.

  Each expansion rule stored in the expansion condition storage unit 14 includes a rule ID, an integrated setting ID, and the expansion condition contents. The rule ID is an identification code for distinguishing each expansion rule from other expansion rules. The integrated setting ID indicates an identification code for specifying integrated setting information to be expanded. The content of the expansion condition is the content of the condition indicating the timing at which the integrated setting information is expanded. The content indicating the date and time when the integrated setting information is expanded when the performance of the monitored device 36 of the information communication system 4 is deteriorated or the configuration is changed. Described.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of an expansion rule. In FIG. 9, the expansion rule with the rule ID “RT001” indicates the expansion timing of the integrated setting information ID “TC001” to be expanded and “the response time of the monitored device 1 has fallen below 300 seconds”. Includes expansion conditions.

  The integrated setting expansion unit 12 is a unit that expands the integrated setting information to setting information of a plurality of types of operation management systems 3 in accordance with the expansion conditions of the expansion condition storage unit 14.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the integrated setting generation process according to the embodiment. When the administrator performs the integrated management by adding a new operation management system 3 or when performing the integrated management by reviewing the configuration of the operation management system 3, the name of the setting information of the operation management system 3 to be integrated management The list and the integrated setting information generation request are input from the management terminal 2 to the integrated setting generation unit 11 of the integrated setting management unit 10. Note that the setting specification information stored in the setting specification storage unit 16 in advance, the relation rules stored in the item relationship storage unit 13, the integrated setting information stored in the integrated setting storage unit 15, and the deployment via the management terminal 2 in advance. The expansion rules stored in the condition storage unit 14 are confirmed, and additional deletion is performed as necessary.

  When receiving the integration setting information generation request, the integration setting generation unit 11 of the integration setting management unit 10 starts the integration setting generation process. A list of setting information names of the operation management system 3 to be integrated is stored in the set U (step S101). For example, it is assumed that AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt of “Operation Management System 1” and AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt of “Operation Management System 2” shown in FIG.

  Next, one piece of setting information is extracted from the set U (step S102). If the extraction is successful (step S103; YES), the process proceeds to step S104. If there is no setting information to be extracted (step S103; NO), the process proceeds to step S105. For example, it is assumed that AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt of “operation management system 1” is extracted.

  In step S104, the setting item name, setting item value, and setting hierarchy are extracted from the setting information, and the operation management system name, setting information name, setting item name, setting item value, setting hierarchy, and the number of extracted setting lines are set as a set. Register as a record in the internal table, and return to step S102. When registering a new record in the internal table, if it matches the setting item name of the record already registered, it is determined that the matching record has the same relationship, and the matching record ID is assigned to each record. Append.

  For example, in the case of AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt of “operation management system 1”, the internal table after the process of step S104 is as shown in FIG. If the AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt of “operation management system 2” is extracted in step S102 after the state of FIG. 12, the internal table after the processing in step S104 is as shown in FIG.

  The record ID “1_1_0001” and the record ID “2_1_0001” have the same setting item name. Therefore, the record ID “2_1_0001” is used for the item relationship of the record ID “1_1_0001”, and the record ID “2_1_0001” is used for the item relationship of the record ID “2_1_0001”. 1_1_0001 ”is described. Similarly, since the record item “1_1_0005” and the record ID “2_1_0005” have the same setting item name, the record ID “1_1_0005” has the record ID “2_1_0005” and the record ID “2_1_0005” has the item relationship. Record ID “1_1_0005” is described.

  In addition, when registering a new record in the internal table, two or more setting item names with consecutive setting hierarchies do not match the case where the setting item name of the record already registered matches. It is good also as item relation. Further, the item relationship may be a case where two or more setting item names having consecutive setting hierarchies coincide with the setting blind value.

  Next, in step S105, the operation management system name, setting information name, setting item name, and setting row number of each record of the internal table registered in step S104 are sequentially referred to, and the referenced operation management system name, setting information name, All the relation rules including the setting item name and setting line number setting are extracted from the item relation storage unit 13. For example, assume that RJ0001, RJ0002, RJ0003, and RJ0004 in FIG. 6 have been taken out.

  Then, with reference to the relation condition contents of all the extracted relation rules, if there is a record in the internal table that matches the relation condition contents, the item relation of the corresponding record is changed.

  For example, the relation condition contents of the relation rule having the rule ID “RJ0001” in FIG. 6 include the setting item “ConfigNum” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the “operation management system 3“ operation management system 1 ”, This means that the setting item “ConfigNum” in the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” of the operation management system 3 “operation management system 2” has the same contents ”, and the record IDs“ 1_1_0001 ”and“ 2_1_0001 ”in FIG. Change each record ID to relationship. In this case, since the item relationship has already been established in step S104, the item relationship is not changed.

  The relation condition content of the relation rule whose rule ID is “RJ0002” in FIG. 6 includes the setting item “Web_serv” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the “operation management system 3“ operation management system 1 ”, and the operation management The setting item “name” in the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” of the system 3 “operation management system 2” has the same contents ”, and the item relationship between the record IDs“ 1_1_0002 ”and“ 2_1_0002 ”in FIG. Change each one. Specifically, the record ID “2_1_0002” is added to the item relationship of the record ID “1_1_0002”, and the record ID “1_1_0002” is added to the item relationship of the record ID “2_1_0002”.

  The relation condition content of the relation rule whose rule ID is “RJ0003” in FIG. 6 includes the setting item “ServerIP” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the “operation management system 3“ operation management system 1 ”, and the operation management. The setting item “IP” in the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” of the system 3 “operation management system 2” has the same contents ”, and the item relationship between the record IDs“ 1_1_0004 ”and“ 2_1_0004 ”in FIG. Change each one. Specifically, the record ID “2_1_0004” is added to the item relationship of the record ID “1_1_0004”, and the record ID “1_1_0004” is added to the item relationship of the record ID “2_1_0004”.

  The relation condition contents of the relation rule whose rule ID is “RJ0004” in FIG. 6 are the setting item “UpperError” of the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt” of the “operation management system 3“ operation management system 1 ”, and the operation management. The setting item “UpperError” in the setting file “AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt” of the system 3 “operation management system 2” is different ”, and the item relationship between the record IDs“ 1_1_0005 ”and“ 2_1_0005 ”in FIG. Change each one. Specifically, the record ID “2_1_0005” in the item relationship of the record ID “1_1_0005” is deleted, and the record ID “1_1_0005” is deleted in the item relationship of the record ID “2_1_0005”.

  Through the above processing, the internal table shown in FIG. 13 is changed to the internal table shown in FIG. By this processing, setting items having the same contents even if they are different in notation can be shared, and setting items having the same notation but different contents can be divided into different setting items.

  In step S106, data to be set for each item is input. For common items that have a certain relationship, one piece of data to be set is input. The data when the integrated setting information was generated last time or standard data may be displayed and only the data to be changed may be input.

  In step 107, integrated setting information is generated with reference to each record of the internal table and stored in the integrated setting storage unit 15. For example, the integrated setting information shown in FIG. 8 is generated from the internal table of FIG. 14 and stored in the integrated setting storage unit 15.

  In the management terminal 2, the generated integrated setting information is displayed on a screen as shown in FIG. 15, for example. In this example, the list of setting information names of “operation management system 1” and “operation management system 2” and the contents of “ApLog.txt” which is one of the setting information of “operation management system 1” are duplicated. The location of the location is displayed. In the contents of the setting information, overlapping portions are displayed with shading. There is a selection field for inputting a mark for selecting whether or not to reflect the edited contents of the setting information at the top of each line of the position display of the overlapping portion. In addition, there is a confirmation button for confirming the contents of the overlapping portion selected in the selection column. In addition, there is a reflection button for reflecting the editing contents of the setting information also on the overlapping portion selected in the selection column.

  The administrator edits the setting item value of the setting item name “Web_serv” on the second line of the setting information “ApLog.txt” of “Operation Management System 1” to “Demo02”, and the selection field for all the duplicated lines If you click on the reflection button, the edited contents of the setting information “ApLog.txt” of “Operation Management System 1” will be reflected in all duplicate setting information. Specifically, the setting item value of the setting item name “name” on the second line of the setting information “ApSetting.txt” of the “operation management system 2” is also “Demo02”. When the setting item value of the setting item name of the overlapping part is different from the setting value of the setting item name to be edited when the screen is displayed or the reflection button is pressed, the setting item value of the overlapping part is different on the management terminal 2 This may be notified on the screen.

  The item relationship extraction unit 17 of the integrated setting management unit 10 is related when new setting specification information is stored in the setting specification storage unit 16 or when new setting information is stored in the setting information storage unit 32. Start the extraction process. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the relationship extraction operation.

  A list of setting specification information of the operation management system to be integrated is stored in the set V (step S201). For example, it is assumed that the setting specification information shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is stored in the set V.

  Next, one set specification information is extracted from the set V (step S202). When the extraction is successful (step S203; YES), the process proceeds to step S204, and when there is no setting specification information to be extracted (step S203; NO), the process proceeds to step S205. For example, assume that the setting specification information of FIG. 3 is extracted.

  In step S204, the setting item name and setting item description are extracted from the setting specification information, and the operation management system name, setting information name, setting item name, and setting item description are registered in the internal table as a set of records. Return to step S202.

  Here, if there is already a record having the same description as the setting item name when registering the internal table, a matching record ID and a matching state are added to the same determination result of each corresponding record. If there is already a record with a different setting item name but the same description, the matching record ID and the matching state are added to the same determination result of each corresponding record. Also, if there is already a record with the same setting item name but different description contents, a state different from the record ID is added to the same determination result of each corresponding record.

  For example, in the case of the setting specification information in FIG. 3, the internal table after the processing in step S204 is as shown in FIG. If the setting specification information shown in FIG. 4 is extracted in step S202 after the state shown in FIG. 16, the internal table after the process in step S204 is as shown in FIG.

  Since the record ID “R1_1_0001” and the record ID “R2_1_0001” have the same setting item name and the setting content, the same determination result of the record ID “R1_1_0001” indicates that the record ID “R2_1_0001” matches the record ID “R2_1_0001”. (R2_1_0001) ”. In the same determination result of the record ID “R2_1_0001”, “= (R1_1_0001)” indicating the state matching the record ID “R1_1_0001” is described. The record ID “R1_1_0002” and the record ID “R2_1_0002” have different setting item names but the setting contents are the same. Therefore, “= (R2_1_0002)” is used as the record ID “R2_1_0002” for the same determination result of the record ID “R1_1_0002”. “= (R1_1_0002)” is described in the same determination result of “”.

  Note that the record ID “R1_1_0005” and the record ID “R2_1_0005” have the same setting item name and different settings, and therefore the same determination result of the record ID “R1_1_0005” indicates a state different from the record ID “R2_1_0005”. Enter "! = (R2_1_0005)". In the same determination result of the record ID “R2_1_0005”, “! = (R1_1_0005)” indicating that the state is different from the record ID “R1_1_0005” is described.

  In the same determination of the description contents of the setting items at the time of registering the internal table in step S204, it is the same not only when the description contents are completely the same, but also when words obtained by lexical analysis of the description contents match at a certain rate or more. May be determined. Moreover, after converting the words obtained by lexical analysis of the explanation contents into the same words with reference to the synonym dictionary, the words may be determined to be the same if they match more than a certain ratio.

  When such processing is added, the record ID “R1_1_0004” and the record ID “R2_1_0004” in FIG. 17 have different setting item names but the setting contents are similar, and the same determination result of the record ID “R1_1_0004” indicates “= (R2_1_0004). ) ”Is described as“ = (R1_1_0004) ”in the same determination result of the record ID“ R2_1_0004 ”. The internal table after the result of this processing is as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, in the same determination of the description content of the setting item at the time of registering the internal table in step S204, it may be determined that the description is the same not only when the description content is the same but also when the setting hierarchy and the description content are the same. For example, in FIG. 18, since the setting hierarchy of the record ID “R1_1_0001” is “1” and the setting hierarchy of the record ID “R1_1_0002” is “2”, the record ID “R1_1_0001” is the parent and the record ID “R1_1_0002” is It is related to the child setting hierarchy. The search is made for another record set in which the relation of the setting hierarchy and the explanation content match. In FIG. 18, the set of the record ID “R2_1_0001” and the record ID “R2_1_0002” is the same because the record ID “R2_1_0001” is the parent and the record ID “R2_1_0002” is in the relationship of the setting hierarchy, and the description is the same. Is determined.

  Next, in step S205, with reference to the same determination result of each record of the internal table registered in step S204, a relation rule is generated and stored in the item relation storage unit 13. For example, the relation rules shown in FIG. 6 are generated from the internal table of FIG. 18 and stored in the item relation storage unit 13.

  According to the integrated operation management system of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the time and effort of an administrator who performs operation management using a plurality of different types of operation management software. The reason is that a setting item having a matching setting item name is mechanically shared from setting information of a plurality of different types of operation management systems 3, and the result of the administrator editing the common setting item is a plurality of different types. This is because it can be reflected in the setting information of the operation management system 3.

  Specifically, when two different types of setting information (AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt, AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt) in Fig. 1 are set, this system is common to AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt as shown in Fig. 15. When the setting item (ConfiguNum = WebMonitoring) is displayed and the common setting item of AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt is edited (for example, changed to ConfigNum = ServerMonitoring), the edited result is changed to the common setting of AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt. This is because it can be reflected in the item (ConfiguNum = WebMonitoring is changed to ConfigNum = ServerMonitoring).

  In setting item commonality, by using a relational rule for determining the difference between notation and content, it is possible to share setting items without any difference in notation and content. Specifically, when setting two different types of setting information (AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt, AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt) in Figure 1, the setting items Web_serv = Demo01 and AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt in AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt Although the setting item name = Demo01 is a different setting item name, it can be determined that there is an item relationship by the relation rule RJ0001 in FIG. 6, and setting items having the same contents can be made common even in different notations.

The setting item UpperError = 75 in AgentSetting \ ApLog.txt and the setting item UpperError = 80 in AgentSetting \ ApSetting.txt have the same setting item name. However, it is not possible to share setting items with different contents.
6 is automatically extracted from the setting specification information shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 by the item relationship extraction unit 17 and stored in the item relationship storage unit 13. Therefore, the relationship rule is generated. There is no effort.

  Furthermore, in the commonization of setting items, by extracting not only the setting item name but also the setting hierarchy from the setting information, it is possible to make common the setting items with continuous setting hierarchies, and improve the accuracy of commonization of setting items. it can. Specifically, if the setting item name “IP” matches, the IP of the Web server and the IP of the AP server will also match, but the setting item name “Web server” in the upper hierarchy of the setting item name “IP” By making a set, only the setting items that match the IP of the Web server can be shared.

  FIG. 19 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the management terminal 2 or the integrated setting management unit 10 illustrated in FIG. The integrated setting management unit 10 is assumed to be composed of processes incorporated in the management terminal 2. When the integrated setting management unit 10 is configured by an apparatus independent of the management terminal 2, FIG. 19 shows the configuration of the integrated setting management unit 10.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the management terminal 2 includes a control unit 21, a main storage unit 22, an external storage unit 23, an operation unit 24, a display unit 25, a time measuring unit 26, and a transmission / reception unit 27. The main storage unit 22, the external storage unit 23, the operation unit 24, the display unit 25, the timing unit 26, and the transmission / reception unit 27 are all connected to the control unit 21 via the internal bus 20.

  The control unit 21 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like, and executes the processing of the integrated setting management unit 10 according to the integrated setting program 30 stored in the external storage unit 23.

  The main storage unit 22 is composed of a RAM (Random-Access Memory) or the like, and loads an integrated setting program 30 stored in the external storage unit 23 and is used as a work area of the control unit 21.

  The external storage unit 23 includes a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, a hard disk, a DVD-RAM (Digital Versatile Disc Random Access Memory), a DVD-RW (Digital Versatile Disc ReWritable), and the above processing is performed by the control unit 21. The integrated setting program 30 to be executed is stored in advance, and the data stored by the program is supplied to the control unit 21 according to the instruction of the control unit 21 and the data supplied from the control unit 21 is stored. The item relationship storage unit 13, the expansion condition storage unit 14, the integrated setting storage unit 15, and the setting specification storage unit 16 in FIG. 2 are configured in the external storage unit 23. When integrated setting generation or relation rule extraction processing is performed, part of the data is stored in the main storage unit 22 and used for the operation of the control unit 21.

  The operation unit 24 includes a pointing device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and an interface device that connects the keyboard and the pointing device to the internal bus 20. Data to be set in the item relationship is input via the operation unit 24 and supplied to the control unit 21.

  The display unit 25 includes a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) or an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and displays setting specification information, relational rules, integrated setting information, and the like.

  The timer unit 26 measures the elapsed time from the time or the reference time point and supplies it to the control unit 21. The control unit 21 can know the elapsed time for determining the development condition from the time information of the time measuring unit 26. If there is no time condition in the development condition or the like and it is not necessary to measure the elapsed time, the time measuring unit 26 may be omitted.

  The transmission / reception unit 27 includes a wireless transmitter / receiver, a wireless modem or a network termination device, and a serial interface or a LAN (Local Area Network) interface connected thereto. A message is transferred to the operation management system 3 via the network 5 via the transmission / reception unit 27, and a message is received from the operation management system 3. As described above, when the integrated setting management unit 10 is configured by a device independent of the management terminal 2, the integrated setting management unit 10 is connected to the management terminal 2 via the transmission / reception unit 27.

  The integrated setting generating unit 11, the integrated setting expanding unit 12, the item relationship extracting unit 17, and the setting data input unit 18 in FIG. It is executed by processing using the time counting unit 26 and the transmission / reception unit 27 as resources.

  As described above, the relationship rule extraction and integrated setting generation processing according to the present embodiment allows the administrator to perform setting work only on common setting items that eliminate the difference in notation and content without duplication. It is possible to reduce the labor of setting visa for operation management using different types of operation management software.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the setting work of the administrator by sharing the setting item names that are duplicated in a plurality of types of operation management systems 3. This is because the setting item name is extracted from the setting information of a plurality of types of operation management systems 3, and the setting content with the matching setting item name is detected as a common location.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the trouble of setting work by the administrator by interpreting the difference in notation and meaning among the setting items of the plural types of operation management systems 3. The reason for this is that the description contents of the setting items are extracted from the setting specifications of a plurality of types of operation management systems 3, and the setting items with the same extracted description contents are interpreted as the same setting items even in different notations. This is because setting items that do not match the extracted explanatory text even if they exist are interpreted as different setting items.
