Method and device for detecting server application health status

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for detecting the healthy status of a server application. The method comprises the steps of obtaining the interactive data stream between a client and a server; matching the data stream according to a request key characteristic and a response key characteristic of the server application to be detected; and judging that the server application is healthy after successful matching, otherwise judging that the server application fails. The method and device for detecting the healthy status of the server application provided by the invention reduce the load of the detection device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and a device for detecting the health status of server applications. Background technique [0002] At present, load balancing equipment is usually used to detect the health status of server applications. There are mainly the following methods: First, use the PING command to detect whether the communication of the server is normal. If the PING command fails, it means that the server is unavailable, and all applications running on the server It is also unavailable, but the success of the PING command does not guarantee that the application on the server is normal; another method is to establish a connection to the TCP service port opened on the server for the application using the TCP protocol on the server, which is the same as the PING command. This method cannot fully reflect the health status of the application on the server. [0003] In order to solve the problem that the a...

Problems solved by technology

At this moment, by judging the method of obtaining static pages on the server, it is impossible to accurately judge whether the server application status is good or bad

However, the detection device cannot directly simulate the operation of step 4 to monitor the application, because the user needs to log in first, and a lot of configuration data needs to be prepared

[0013] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem that multiple data interactions between the client and the server to be tested can determine whether the application is good or bad, testing equipment such as load balancing equipment generally provides a scripting language operating environment, allowing customers to write scripts to implement complex server application testing , the commonly used script programming languages ​​are perl, python, etc., because the customer's application system is very different, the testing equipment manufacturer has to build all the application testing scripts into the testing equipment, which greatly increases the burden on the testing equipment

In addition, script writers must also have considerable professional knowledge, which has high requirements for testing personnel.
