Method for processing alarm messages in network management system and network management system

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for processing alarm messages in a network management system and the network management system and relates to the technical field of network management in the field of communication networks. The method comprises the following steps of: acquiring the alarm message of network element equipment, and caching the alarm message into an alarm queue corresponding to the type of the alarm message; and processing the alarm messages which are cached in each alarm queue and have different types in parallel. By adoption of the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the alarm messages can be processed in a classification mode, and the problem that the alarm messages of other types cannot be timely processed due to backlog of the alarm message to be processed of a certain type is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network management in the communication network field, in particular to a method for processing alarm messages in a network management system and a network management system. Background technique [0002] The communication network is characterized by large scale, complex structure, heterogeneity and high distribution. In the field of network management technology, failure is defined as the cause of abnormal function. The fault is the cause of the alarm, and the alarm message is the event notification sent by the managed object when a specific event occurs, and is used to transmit the alarm information. [0003] Whether it is the early TMN (Telecom Management Network, Telecom Management Network) specification proposed by the International Telecommunication Union ITU, or the communication network management interface definition proposed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3rd Generation Partne...

Problems solved by technology

[0017] Through simple alarm message filtering steps, the timeliness and accuracy of alarm message processing can be met when the number of alarm messages is relatively normal. However, once an "alarm storm" occurs, facing the impact of a large number of alarm messages in a short period of time, In the alarm message processing step, there will be a backlog of a large number of alarm messages to be processed, which seriously reduces the processing efficiency and timeliness of alarm messages

[0018] At present, in the existing technology, for the processing of the "alarm storm", the collected alarm messages can be discarded, or the frequency of collecting alarm information can be reduced to reduce the number of alarm messages to be processed and relieve the pressure of alarm message processing. It may lead to the loss of monitoring of sudden failure alarms, reducing the integrity of alarm monitoring, and at the same time affecting the monitoring of monitoring personnel and subsequent analysis and positioning; it is also possible to improve the processing of alarm messages by increasing the processing resources for processing alarm messages. However, when the "alarm storm" situation does not occur, the idleness of a large number of processing resources leads to low utilization of processing resources; and, when the "alarm storm" situation occurs, due to the backlog of alarm messages to be processed, The alarm messages caused by serious faults cannot be processed in time, and the serious faults cannot be processed in time due to the failure to monitor the alarms caused by serious faults in time, resulting in the performance degradation of the entire communication network
