Description

  The present invention relates to operation management of information processing equipment, and in particular, among messages informing operation status from information processing equipment, messages having high importance are easily deleted from a display screen by messages having low importance. The present invention relates to an operation management system, an operation management method, and an operation management program for information processing equipment that can be prevented.

  As a method of grasping the state of the information processing system, a method of receiving a log (history) output and a response of a program operating on the information processing device and displaying a message is widely used. By displaying the message, the administrator of the information processing system can grasp the state of the information processing system, find out the occurrence of an abnormality, and deal with it. For example, there is an operation management product that displays all received messages in an online message window (a screen that displays messages received by a receiver connected to an information processing device).

  In such an operation management product, when a newly received message is displayed, this message is displayed at the bottom of the already displayed message. When all the display screens are filled with messages, the character strings of all messages move up (scroll) in the screen, and the top message on the screen is erased from the screen.

  In a large-scale information processing system, a large amount of the message may occur (message rush) in a short time due to an increase in processing amount or a system failure. When a large number of messages are generated in this way, in the online message window with a limited number of lines in the operation management product as described above, each message moves up (scrolls) in the screen in an instant. One after another, these messages disappear from the screen. For this reason, the operator cannot read all the messages, and there is a fear that important messages may be missed.

An example of related technology directly related to the operation management system for the information processing device is shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the structure of an operation management system for information processing equipment of related technology.
The operation management system receives a message information from the monitoring target computer 110 that is an information processing device, receives message information from the monitoring target computer 110, and obtains a message based on the message information.

In this technique, the distribution terminal stores the received distribution data and then transmits the distribution data to the user terminal. Then, after the user terminal displays the content in the received distribution data, the effective distribution count is decreased by 1. If the effective distribution count is not 0, the distribution data is transmitted to other user terminals and the effective distribution is performed. When the number of times becomes 0, the distribution data is deleted.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a network game conversation system in which a specific message from the system is scrolled and the scroll window of the conversation window is narrowed for a certain period of time so that the specific message from the system is not erased from the screen. A system characterized by the display is disclosed.

  In Patent Document 3, in a mobile phone that is a screen control display device, when information is newly received via a network for a running application, or the received information has changed from previously received information. In this case, the display priority is determined based on the time information included in the received information, and the display priority is changed according to the priority with respect to the screens of other running applications. And the system characterized by displaying on the screen of each application the information with the high priority according to the layout which is easy to visually recognize is disclosed.

  In Patent Document 4, it is possible to perform a reduced display in which the character font size on the screen of the display display device is reduced stepwise as the distance from the input line increases, thereby increasing the number of display lines and input that is particularly important for the operator. There has been disclosed a display device that facilitates recognition of data in a row and a screen in the vicinity thereof.

  In Patent Document 5, when managing a large number of window screens, a display order description table is prepared, and only a certain number of window screens on which display is prioritized are tiled on the screen, and others are converted into icons. A system characterized by being displayed on a screen is disclosed. In this technology, when an icon being displayed is selected and redisplay is specified, the window screen with the oldest display order is selected by referring to the table, and the window screen corresponding to the specified icon is selected. By switching the displayed screens, the display of a large number of window screens can be managed efficiently and the operability of the screens can be improved.

  Patent Document 6 discloses a system that makes it difficult for an operator to overlook important messages by calculating the output frequency of a specific message and changing the output method.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an operation management system for information processing equipment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

(Overall configuration)
First, the basic configuration content of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a first embodiment of an operation management system for information processing equipment according to the present invention.
The operation management system of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment receives the monitoring target computer 10 that collects message information and message information that informs the operating status from the monitoring target computer 10 and acquires this message information based on the information. The monitoring manager 1 is displayed.

  The monitoring target computer 10 includes a message information collection unit 11 that collects message information that informs the operating status of the monitoring target computer 10 itself, and a message information storage unit that stores the message information collected by the message information collection unit 11. 12. As a result, the message information notifying the operation status is accumulated in the message information accumulating unit 12 and can be easily extracted.

  In addition, the monitoring manager 1 includes message information acquisition means 2 that acquires message information that informs the operation status from the monitoring target computer 10, thereby acquiring the message information. In addition, the monitoring manager 1 receives the message information from the message information acquisition unit 2, and adds a TTL (Time To Live, effective number of display) value to each message information according to the importance of the message; Message information storage means 4 for storing message information to which the TTL value is added, message information display means 5 for instructing display of each message based on the message information, and instructions for the message information to the message information display means 5 And a message window 6 for displaying each message. As a result, the message information can be displayed in the message window 6 based on the message importance level information.

  Among them, the message information application means 3 is a message that transmits the message information to which the TTL value is added to the message storage means 4 and the display effective number adding section 3B that adds a TTL value to each message according to the importance of the message. An information transmitting / receiving unit 3A is provided. The message information application unit 3 instructs the message information storage unit 4 to decrease the TTL value of each message information stored in the message information storage unit 4 by one when acquiring a new message. The subtraction unit 3D and a message non-display setting unit for setting a screen non-display for a message having the smallest TTL value and the longest display time among the messages set for the screen display. 3E. The message window 6 displays a message based on a message display method command received from the message information display means 5 and the content of the message.

  This will be described more specifically below.

  First, the message information collecting unit 11 provided in the monitoring target computer 10 collects message information held by the monitoring target computer 10 itself, for example, debug information, normal information, warning information, and important information. The message information collection unit 11 transmits these message information to the message information storage unit 12.

  The message information storage unit 12 stores the message information received from the message information collection unit 11. Specifically, the message information storage means 12 is composed of a device comprising a hard disk drive and a computer for controlling the operation thereof.

On the other hand, on the monitoring manager 1 side, the message information acquisition unit 2 receives the message information transmitted from the monitoring target computer 10 and transmits it to the message information application unit 3.
Further, the message information application unit 3 adds information about the message such as the TTL value, time, and screen display information to the message information received from the message information acquisition unit 2 as described above.

  The message information application unit 3 acquires the message information from the message information acquisition unit 2 of the monitoring target computer 10 and transmits / receives the message information between the message information storage unit 4 and each part of the message information application unit 3. Part 3A, a display effective number adding part 3B for adding a TTL value to each message in accordance with the importance of the message, and a time adding part for adding the time when the message information applying means 3 receives the message information to the message information 3C. Also, the message information application means 3 includes a display effective number subtraction unit 3D that lowers each TTL value of each message information stored in the message information storage means 4 when acquiring a new message, and a message information storage means 4 The message non-display setting unit 3E for setting the screen non-display to the message having the smallest TTL value and the longest display time among the message information set to the screen display. ing.

  Among these, the message information transmission / reception unit 3 </ b> A acquires the message information from the message information acquisition unit 2 of the monitoring target computer 10. The message information transmission / reception unit 3A transmits / receives the message information from the message information storage unit 4, and also includes a display effective number addition unit 3B, a time addition unit 3C, a display effective number subtraction unit 3D of the message information application unit 3, and The message information is transmitted / received between each part of the message non-display setting unit 3E. The message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A sends this message information to the message storage unit 4, and the message storage unit 4 stores and stores this information.

  Further, when the message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A receives the message information, the display effective number adding unit 3B adds a TTL value to the message information held by the message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A according to the importance of the message. As an example, FIG. 2 shows a message importance level 21 and an initial TTL value 22 correspondingly set. The message importance level 21 has four levels of importance, warning, normal, and debug information, and TTL values of 10, 5, 3, and 1 are set respectively. A larger TTL value is set for a message having a higher importance level. As a result, a high TTL value is added to message information having a high degree of importance of the message.

  When the message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A receives the message information, the time adding unit 3C adds the time to the message information held by the message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A. The added time is used as information used when the message non-display setting unit 3E specifies the message information received by the message information acquisition unit at the oldest time. With this information, the message information with the oldest time can be identified among the message information for which screen display is set.

  The display effective number subtraction unit 3D receives each message information already stored in the message information storage unit 4 through the message information transmission / reception unit 3A when the message information acquisition unit 2 acquires a new message, and the TTL of each message information. One value is subtracted and stored in the message information storage means 4 through the message information transmitting / receiving unit 3A. Thus, each time the message information acquisition unit 2 acquires a new message, the TTL value of each existing message information is decreased by one.

  The message non-display setting unit 3E adds a screen display setting to the message information held by the message information transmission / reception unit 3A when the message information transmission / reception unit 3A acquires message information from the message information acquisition unit 2. Then, the message non-display setting unit 3E subtracts one TTL value of each message information already stored in the message information storage unit 4 by the display effective number subtraction unit 3D, and sends message information through the message information transmission / reception unit 3A The message with the smallest TTL value and the longest display time among the message information set in the screen display stored in the message information storage means 4 after being stored in the storage means 4 Set information to non-display. A message for which screen non-display is set is erased from the screen of the message window 6, and the process proceeds smoothly. When the message window 6 displays a new message, the entire lower message including the message set to screen non-display is moved upward by one message, and the message set to screen non-display is displayed. Erase (scroll out) and insert a new message at the bottom.

  As a result, the message is displayed on the screen until the TTL value is the smallest among the messages set to be displayed on the screen and the elapsed time of display is the longest. Since a high TTL value is initially set for a message with high importance, the message is displayed on the screen for a longer time.

  The message information storage means 4 stores the message information received from the message information transmission / reception unit 3A. The message information storage means 4 transmits the stored message information to the message information transmission / reception unit 3A in response to a request from the message information transmission / reception unit 3A. Specifically, the message information storage means 4 is composed of a device comprising a hard disk drive and a computer for controlling the operation thereof. As a result, new messages of the monitoring target computer 10 are always stored in the message information storage unit 4, and messages already stored in the message information storage unit 4 are stored in a newly updated state.

  The message information display unit 5 acquires the message information from the message information storage unit 4 after the message non-display setting unit 3E stores the message information in the message information storage unit 4 through the message information transmission / reception unit 3A. The message information display means 5 creates a message display method command and message contents based on this message information, and transmits them to the message window 6. As a result, the message window 6 deletes the message set to the screen non-display from the display screen and displays the message set to the screen display. When the message window 6 displays a new message, the entire lower message including the message set to screen non-display is moved upward by one message, and the message set to screen non-display is displayed. Erase (scroll out) and insert a new message at the bottom.

  The message window 6 displays a message based on the message display method command received from the message information display means 5 and the content of the message. The message window 6 deletes the message set to screen non-display from the display screen and displays the message set to screen display. When the message window 6 displays a new message, the entire lower message including the message set to screen non-display is moved upward by one message, and the message set to screen non-display is displayed. Erase (scroll out) and insert a new message at the bottom. The message window 6 is, for example, a display indicator that can quickly confirm the message. Accordingly, the message is displayed on the screen reflecting the message information.

(Overall operation)
Next, the basic operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation in the present embodiment disclosed in FIG.

First, the basic operation of the present embodiment will be described, and then the overall operation of the present embodiment will be described.
The monitoring manager 1 acquires the message information from the monitoring target computer 10 that collects the message information, and the monitoring manager 1 displays the message on the screen based on the information.

  The monitoring manager 1 acquires message information from the monitoring target computer 10, and the message information applying means 3 adds the TTL (Time To Live, display effective number) value corresponding to the importance of the message and the message acquisition time to the message information. And non-display information on the screen are added. The message information storage means 4 stores the message information to which these pieces of information are added. Then, the non-display setting function 3E installed in the message information application unit 3 sets the screen non-display to the message information having the information that the TTL value (display effective number value) is the smallest and the display time is the longest. Is added. Based on the message information, the message information display means 5 issues a message display command, and the message window 6 displays the message information based on the command of the message information display means.

  Next, the overall operation of the above embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  First, the message information collection means 1 of the monitoring target computer 10 collects message information held by the monitoring target computer 10. This message information is transmitted from the message information collecting means 11 to the message information accumulating means 12 and stored in the message information accumulating means 12.

Next, the message information acquisition unit 2 of the monitoring manager 1 acquires the message information from the message information storage unit 12 (step S101 / message information acquisition step).
The message information is transmitted to the message information application unit 3, and the display effective number adding unit 3B of the message information application unit 3 sets a TTL value for each message according to the importance of the message, and adds it to the message information. To do.

  The message information to which the TTL value is added is stored in the message storage unit 4 of the monitoring manager 1 from the message information application unit 3. Each time one new message is received, the display effective number subtraction unit 3D of the message information application unit 3 subtracts one TTL value of each message information stored in the message storage unit 4 (step S200 / TTL value). Subtraction process).

  Details of step S200 are shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the steps of the TTL subtraction process in FIG. It is determined whether the TTL value is greater than zero (step S201 / TTL value determination step). If the TTL value is greater than zero, one TTL value is subtracted (step S202 / TTL value subtraction step). Then, it is determined whether the above processing has been performed on all message information (step S203 / processing message confirmation step). If there is an unprocessed message, the process proceeds to the next message (step S204 / next message processing step).

  The message non-display setting unit 3E adds information to be deleted from the screen display to the message having the smallest TTL value and the oldest (step S300 / message screen non-display process).

  Details of step S300 are shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the message screen non-display process in FIG.

The message non-display setting unit 3E extracts one piece of message information from the message information for which the screen display setting is stored in the message information storage unit 4, and the TTL value previously extracted from each message information by the message information storage unit 4 On the basis of the time elapsed values, it is determined whether the TTL value of the message information is the smallest of the message information for which the screen display setting is set and the time elapsed for the display is the longest (step S301 / TTL). Value / time elapsed judgment process). When the display time is the smallest and the longest time has elapsed, this message information is set to display non-display (step S302). Messages set to hide the screen are deleted from the message window 6 screen. When the message window 6 displays a new message, the entire lower message including the message set to screen non-display is moved upward by one message, and the message set to screen non-display is displayed. Erase (scroll out) and insert a new message at the bottom. Otherwise, the process proceeds to determination of the next message information (step S303 / next message processing step).

  The message information applying unit 5 adds an appropriate TTL value to the message information according to the importance of the received message information (step S102 / TTL value adding step), and the message information storing unit 4 of the monitoring manager 1 The message information to which the TTL value is added is stored at the end of the message information (step S103 / message storage step).

  The message information display means 3 obtains the message information to which the TTL value is added from the message information storage means 4, creates a message display method command and the message content based on this information, and sends these to the message window 6. And send.

  The message window 6 displays a message based on a message display method command received from the message information display means 5 and the content of the message (message display step). Move the entire message displayed on the screen upward (scroll out) by one message, insert a new message at the bottom, and display it.

Here, in the above-described operation description, the contents executed in each step may be programmed and executed by a computer.
