Configuration management system and method of server cluster

Abstract

The invention discloses a configuration management system and method of a server cluster. The method comprises the following steps: an application server sends a configuration information request message to a configuration server; after receiving the configuration information request message sent by the application server, the configuration server searches configuration information of the application server from a configuration database and returns the configuration information to the application server; the application server registers a self address to the configuration server; the configuration server updates the configuration information of the application server in the configuration database, and issues the updated configuration information to the corresponding application server according to the registered address of the application server; and after receiving the updated configuration information issued by the configuration server, the application server updates local configuration information. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, the configuration information can be subjected to centralized management, is easy to maintain and can be timely updated, and the network resource can be saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of server clusters, in particular to a server cluster configuration management system and method. Background technique [0002] Almost all applications require configuration information, which enables dynamic adjustment of some operating parameters of the system without modifying the application. Currently widely used configuration information is generally stored locally in the form of files, and the file formats include: XML, Properties, Json, etc. There are also some basic table contents, such as city code, country code, zip code, etc., which can also be stored in the database as configuration information. [0003] In large-scale cluster applications, where applications run on hundreds or even thousands of servers, the maintenance and management of configuration information is even more important. [0004] Traditional configuration information is basically based on local files in formats such as XML, Pro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This configuration method is more convenient to modify on a single machine, but for large-scale cluster applications, it is very difficult to modify hundreds or even thousands of servers

And to modify the configuration file, most of the time you need to restart the application to take effect

[0005] The method of storing the basic configuration information in the database can solve the problem of centralized modification, but the application server cannot be notified in time after the modification, nor can it be updated in time to take effect

It is not feasible to regularly obtain the latest configuration information through the application server. One is that the update is not timely, and the other is that if the update is too frequent, a lot of network traffic will be wasted and the pressure on the database will be increased.

[0006] It can be seen that in the existing maintenance management scheme of application configuration information, either the maintenance of configuration information is particularly cumbersome, or the update of configuration information is not timely and wastes network resources.
