Problems solved by technology

In the SNMP mode, the Agent software needs to be installed on the managed device. If there is a problem with the Agent, it may have a great impact on the performance of the business system, and even cause the business to be unavailable in extreme cases.
The reliability of Agent is very important, but due to the reason of confidentiality, the source manufacturers generally do not provide the source code, so the management personnel cannot audit the reliability of the software
In addition, the collection content is limited by the Agent. If there is no source code, it is impossible to expand the function to meet the rapidly changing business needs.
And the secondary development of Agent needs to include source code modification, compilation, debugging, it is difficult to develop quickly and ensure its reliability
Remotely access the managed system to obtain data in the Telnet method; it requires the business system to provide a user name and password, and the information will be transmitted online, which poses a large security risk
At the same time, user names and passwords are generally revised regularly according to audit requirements, and the management system will need to be modified accordingly, resulting in high management costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, may be combined in any manner, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0023] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract and drawings), unless expressly stated otherwise, may be replaced by alternative features which are equivalent or serve a similar purpose. That is, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature is one example only of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

[0025] Such as figure 1 As shown, the collection device PushAgent runs inside the managed device, it collects the operation data periodically, and uploads the collection results to the FTP server through the FTP protocol. The operation and maintenance management system reads and parses relevant files from the FTP server. During this pro...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for collecting Unix / Linux system operation data. The collection method comprises the following steps: (1) acquiring acquisition parameters from a server through a file transfer protocol (FTP); (2) operating a command through cron for root at regular intervals, and collecting operation data and storing in extensive makeup language (XML) files; (3) operating relative commands in a common user identity through cron at regular intervals, and collecting the operation data and storing in the XML files; (4) automatically uploading the data files to a monitoring server through the FTP; and (5) scanning the files by the monitoring server at regular intervals, reading and processing the relative data. The device is characterized in that UnixShell is used for collection, and the UnixShell is transparent, readable and auditable for a manager, thereby improving safety and reliability, overcoming the defect that a password is needed in the traditional Telnet collection mode and reducing the management difficulty and the risk of leaking the password.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of IT operation and maintenance, in particular to a method and device for collecting operation and maintenance data under the Unix / Linux environment. Background technique [0002] In finance, telecommunications and other industries, due to the need for stability and reliability, most of their business systems run on the UNIX / Linux platform. In order to ensure the normal operation of the business system, managers need to collect its operating data to analyze whether its operation is normal. Traditional methods include SNMP and Telnet. In the SNMP mode, Agent software needs to be installed on the managed device. If there is a problem with the Agent, it may have a great impact on the performance of the business system, and even cause the business to be unavailable in extreme cases. The reliability of the Agent is very important, but because of confidentiality, the source manufacturer generally does not provide the sour...
