Description

Method and device for processing alarm

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computers, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for processing alarms in the field of computers.

Background

At present, hardware equipment of a large-scale cluster storage system is fewer than dozens of hardware equipment and more than hundreds of hardware equipment, a user cannot check the system equipment one by one, and the whole storage system is generally monitored in a unified monitoring mode. The current mainstream storage system supports the function of reporting the state of an object, the state of the object is an alarm state or a recovery state, and usually, multi-level cache reporting is adopted, that is, after receiving the state of the object sent by a reporter, a cluster node firstly performs first-level caching, then sends the states of the objects reported by all the reporters to a forwarding queue for second-level caching, and uniformly forwards the states to a cluster main node for third-level caching, and after processing the state of the object in the third-level caching, the cluster main node puts into fourth-level caching, and periodically writes a disk for persistence.

The existing multi-level caching method is adopted to report the state of the object, and the problem of object state loss exists in some scenes. For example, since the speed of writing the disk by the node is slow, the state of the object is not a synchronous disk in each level of cache, and the data cached in the memory is lost after the node is restarted, the reset of the node may cause the state of the object in the node to be lost. For another example, for the same object, when the node a reports the alarm of the object first and the node B reports the recovery of the object later, the reported recovery of the object may reach the master node before the alarm, because the master node cannot find the alarm of the object when receiving the reported recovery, the master node may discard the reported alarm recovery of the object, and when receiving the reported alarm subsequently, the master node finds that the object is in the recovery state again, so that the out-of-order alarm among the nodes may also cause the state of the object in the node to be lost.

The state of the object is lost, which causes the accuracy of the state of the object stored in the master node to be low, resulting in poor overall performance of the system.

The application provides a method and a device for processing alarm, which can improve the accuracy of the state presented by an object at a main node, thereby improving the overall performance of a system and reducing the maintenance cost of the system.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for processing an alarm, including:

the alarm processing device determines the actual state of each object in at least one object managed by the alarm processing device and determines the state of each object in the at least one object presented at the alarm management device of the master node;

the alarm processing device determines an object of the at least one object, the actual state of which is inconsistent with the state presented at the alarm management device, as a target object;

In the method for processing an alarm provided by the embodiment of the application, the actual state of each object in at least one object managed by the alarm processing device and the state of each object presented at the alarm management device are determined by the alarm processing device, the object whose actual state is inconsistent with the state presented at the alarm management device in the at least one object is determined as the target object, and the actual state of the target object is reported to the alarm management device, so that the accuracy of the state presented by the object at the master node can be improved, the overall performance of the system is improved, and the maintenance cost of the system is reduced.

It is to be understood that the actual state of each object in the at least one object managed by the alarm handling means may be understood as the actual state of each object determined at the current time, and the state of each object presented at the alarm management means of the master node may be understood as the actual state of each object determined at the historical time stored at the alarm management means of the master node.

It should also be understood that the preset rule includes an alarm condition that the operating state value of the object reaches the alarm state and a recovery condition that the operating state value of the object reaches the recovery state, that is, if the operating state value of the object satisfies the alarm condition, the actual state of the object is the alarm state, and if the operating state value of the object satisfies the recovery condition, the actual state of the object is the recovery state.

In the embodiment of the application, the actual state of the object is divided into an alarm state, a normal state or a recovery state, so that the jitter of the actual state of the object caused by slight fluctuation of the working state of the object can be prevented.

S210, the alarm management device determines N objects which are presented in an alarm state at the alarm management device, wherein N is an integer greater than 0.

It is to be understood that the alarm management means of the master node is responsible for managing the alarm distribution means of each of the at least one node (including the master node), the distribution means is responsible for managing the at least one alarm handling means of the node where the distribution means is located, and the alarm handling means is responsible for managing at least one object of the same type in the node.

Alternatively, in S210, the alarm management device may determine the N objects according to the states of the objects included in each of all the nodes, which are presented at the alarm management device.

As an alternative embodiment, the alarm management device may select the N objects that are presented as alarm states at the alarm management device from the objects included in each of the all nodes.

As another alternative embodiment, the alarm management device may also select the N objects with the highest priority among all the objects presented as the alarm state at the alarm management device according to the priorities of all the objects presented as the alarm state at the alarm management device.

S220, the alarm management device sends first indication information to the alarm distribution device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating the N objects. Correspondingly, the alarm distribution device receives the first indication information and determines the N objects according to the first indication information.

It should be understood that the alarm management device may manage at least one alarm distribution device, the alarm distribution device may be located at the same node as the alarm management device, for example, the alarm distribution device and the alarm management device are both located at the master node, or the alarm distribution device may be located at a different node from the alarm management device, for example, the alarm distribution device is located at a child node and the alarm management device is located at the master node, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in S220, the alarm management apparatus may send the first indication information to at least one alarm distribution apparatus managed by the alarm management apparatus in a broadcast, multicast or unicast manner, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the first indication information may include indication information of each object in the N objects, and the indication information of each object may be, for example, an identifier of each object, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Alternatively, the alarm management device may periodically send the first indication information to at least one alarm distribution device managed by the alarm management device, or may trigger sending of the first indication information to the at least one alarm distribution device. For example, the alarm management device may send the first indication information according to a sending period pre-configured with the at least one alarm distribution device, or the alarm management device may send the first indication information according to a triggering event, where the triggering event may be, for example, receiving an alarm processing request message, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

And S230, the alarm distribution device determines M objects which are reported by a first alarm processing device in at least one alarm processing device managed by the alarm distribution device and present as an alarm state at the alarm management device according to the N objects, wherein M is an integer greater than 0 and is less than or equal to N.

Optionally, the alarm distribution device may determine the M objects according to the N objects and a preset mapping relationship, where the mapping relationship includes a correspondence relationship between the N objects and an alarm processing device that manages each object of the N objects.

Optionally, the mapping relationship may be in the form of a graph, a table, an index, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

S240, the alarm distributing device sends second indication information to the first alarm processing device, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating the M objects. Accordingly, the first alarm processing device determines that the state that the M objects in the at least one object managed by the first alarm processing device present at the alarm management device is an alarm state.

Optionally, the second indication information may include indication information of each object in the M objects, and the indication information of each object may be, for example, an identifier of each object, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

It should be understood that the first alarm processing device manages at least one object, and the first alarm processing device may determine, according to the second indication information sent by the alarm distribution device, that the states of the M objects in the at least one object presented at the alarm management device are alarm states, and thus may determine that the states of the objects other than the M objects in the at least one object presented at the alarm management device are not alarm states.

S250, the first alarm processing device determines the actual state of each object in at least one object managed by the first alarm processing device.

Optionally, the first alarm processing apparatus may obtain a working state of each object in the at least one object, and determine an actual state of each object according to a preset rule and the working state of each object, where the preset rule includes a condition that the working state of each object is in an alarm state and a condition that the working state of each object is in a recovery state.

As an alternative embodiment, the actual state of the object may be an alarm state or a recovery state.

For example, the at least one object managed by the first alarm processing device is a disc 1 temperature, a disc 2 temperature, and a disc 3 temperature, and the operating state of each object in the at least one object is a disc 1 temperature of 45 degrees, a disc 2 temperature of 14 degrees, and a disc 3 temperature of 70 degrees. If the preset rule is that the disk temperature is greater than 60 degrees, an alarm is reported, the disk temperature is less than 20 degrees, and recovery is reported, the first alarm processing device may determine that the actual state of the disk 2 is the recovery state, and the actual state of the disk 3 is the alarm state.

As another alternative embodiment, the actual state of the object may be an alarm state, a normal state, or a recovery state.

For example, in the above example, the first warning processing means may determine that the actual state of the disc 1 is the normal state.

In the embodiment of the application, the actual state of the object is divided into an alarm state, a normal state or a recovery state, so that the actual state of the object can be prevented from shaking due to slight fluctuation of the working state of the object.

S260, the first alarm processing device determines an object of the at least one object whose actual state is inconsistent with the state presented at the alarm management device as a target object.

S270, the first alarm processing device reports the actual state of the target object to the alarm management device.

As an alternative embodiment, if the actual state of a first object of the at least one object is the recovery state, but the state of the first object presented at the alarm management device is the alarm state, the first alarm processing device determines the first object as the target object.

For example, if the preset rule is that the temperature of the disk is greater than 60 ℃, an alarm is reported; and reporting recovery when the temperature of the disk is less than 20 ℃. If the state that the temperature of the disc 1 assumes at the alarm management means is an alarm state, i.e., the temperature of the disc 1 is greater than 60 degrees, the first alarm processing means may determine the temperature of the disc 1 as the target object when the first alarm processing means determines that the actual state of the temperature of the disc 1 is a recovery state, i.e., the operating state of the temperature of the disc 1 is less than 20 degrees.

In addition, the first alarm processing apparatus may report the temperature recovery of the disk 1 to the alarm management apparatus.

As another alternative embodiment, if the actual state of a second object of the at least one object is an alarm state, but the state that the second object presents at the alarm management device is not an alarm state, the first alarm processing device determines the second object as the target object.

For example, if the preset rule is that the temperature of the disk is greater than 60 ℃, an alarm is reported; and reporting recovery when the temperature of the disk is less than 20 ℃. If the state that the temperature of the disk 2 assumes at the alarm management means is not an alarm state (i.e., is a recovery state or a normal state), i.e., the temperature of the disk 2 is less than or equal to 60 degrees, when the first alarm processing means determines that the actual state of the temperature of the disk 2 is an alarm state, i.e., the operating state of the temperature of the disk 2 is greater than 60 degrees, the first alarm processing means determines the temperature of the disk 2 as a target object.

In addition, the first alarm processing device may report a disc 2 temperature alarm to the alarm management device.

Optionally, the first alarm processing device may report the actual state of the target object according to an existing multi-level cache manner, that is, report the actual state of the target object to the alarm management device through the alarm distribution device, or the first alarm processing device may directly report the actual state of the target object to the alarm management device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

According to the method for processing the alarm provided by the embodiment of the application, the alarm processing device can report the object with the actual state inconsistent with the state presented at the alarm management device in the at least one object managed by the alarm processing device to the alarm management device, the state of the object at the alarm management device can be updated in time, the accuracy of the actual state of the object at the main node is improved, the overall performance of the system is improved, and the maintenance cost of the system is reduced.

S310, the alarm management device generates a first alarm list, wherein the first alarm list is used for indicating N objects which are in an alarm state at the alarm management device, and N is an integer larger than 0.

Optionally, the alarm management apparatus may obtain an alarm state table stored in a master node where the alarm management apparatus is located, where the alarm state table is used to indicate states of all objects presented at the alarm management apparatus, and generate the first alarm list according to the alarm state table.

For example, the alarm state table may be as shown in table 1 below:

Here, the ID 001 target is the disc 1 temperature, the ID 002 target is the disc 2 temperature, the ID 003 target is the disc 1 humidity, the ID 004 target is the disc 3 temperature, the ID 005 target is the disc 2 humidity, and the ID 006 target is the disc 3 humidity, status 1 is the alarm state, status 2 is the normal state, and status 3 is the recovery state.

The alarm management device can obtain a first alarm list as shown in the following table 2 according to the alarm state table shown in the table 1:

Optionally, table 2 may not have a status information column, that is, the object IDs in the first alarm list all default to alarm statuses.

S320, the alarm management device sends the first alarm list to the first alarm distribution device. Accordingly, the first alarm distribution device receives the first alarm list.

Optionally, the first alarm distribution device may be located in the same node as the alarm management device, that is, the first alarm distribution device is located in a master node, or the first alarm distribution device may be located in a different node from the alarm management device, that is, the first alarm distribution device is located in a child node, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For example, the mapping table preconfigured by the first alarm distributing means may be as shown in table 3 below:

TABLE 3

Object identification ID	Alarm processing device ID
		001	1
002	1
		003	2
004	1
		005	2
006	2

The ID 001 target is the disc 1 temperature, the ID 002 target is the disc 2 temperature, the ID 003 target is the disc 1 humidity, the ID 004 target is the disc 3 temperature, the ID 005 target is the disc 2 humidity, and the ID 006 target is the disc 3 humidity, the ID 1 alarm processing device is the disc temperature processing device, and the ID 2 alarm processing device is the disc humidity alarm processing device.

Assuming that the first alarm processing apparatus is a disk temperature alarm processing apparatus, the first alarm distribution apparatus may obtain a second alarm list as shown in table 4 below, according to the mapping table shown in table 3 and the first alarm list shown in table 2:

TABLE 3

S340, the first alarm distributing apparatus sends the second alarm list to the first alarm processing apparatus. Accordingly, the first alarm processing device receives the second alarm list.

S350, the first alarm processing device determines the actual state of each object in the at least one object according to the working state of each object in the at least one object managed by the alarm processing device and a preset rule, wherein the preset rule comprises a condition that the working state of each object is in an alarm state and a condition that the working state of each object is in a recovery state.

For example, the warning processing device is a disk temperature warning processing device that manages 4 objects, that is, the disk 1 temperature, the disk 2 temperature, the disk 3 temperature, and the disk 4 temperature, and the disk temperature warning processing device can detect the operating states of the 4 objects by an inspection module such as a sensor, a thermometer, or the like, for example, the disk 1 temperature is 14 degrees, the disk 2 temperature is 45 degrees, the disk 3 temperature is 70 degrees, and the disk 4 temperature is 65 degrees.

For another example, if the preset rule is that the temperature of the disk is more than 60 ℃, an alarm is reported; and reporting recovery when the temperature of the disk is less than 20 ℃.

The disc temperature alarm processing means may determine that the actual state of the temperature of the disc 1 is the recovery state, the temperature of the disc 2 is the normal state, the temperature of the disc 3 is the alarm state, and the temperature of the disc 4 is the alarm state.

S360, the first alarm processing device determines the object with the inconsistent actual state and the state presented at the alarm management device in the at least one object as the target object.

For example, if the state of the disc 1 temperature at the alarm management device is an alarm state and its actual state is a recovery state, the disc temperature alarm processing device may set the disc 1 temperature as a target object; the state of the disc 2 temperature at the alarm management device is not an alarm state, and the actual state thereof is not an alarm state, the disc temperature alarm processing device does not set the disc 2 temperature as a target object; the state of the disc 3 temperature at the alarm management means is not the alarm state, and its actual state is the alarm state, the disc temperature alarm processing means may set the disc 3 temperature as the target object; the state that the temperature of the disk 4 is present at the warning management means is not the warning state, and its actual state is the warning state, the disk temperature warning processing means may take the temperature of the disk 4 as the target object.

S370, the first alarm processing device reports the actual state of the target object to the alarm management device.

For example, the disk temperature warning processing means may report the disk 1 temperature recovery, the disk 3 temperature warning, and the disk 3 temperature warning to the warning management means.

Optionally, after receiving the actual state of the target object reported by the first alarm processing device, the alarm management device may update the state table stored in the master node where the alarm management device is located.
