Active type server monitoring device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an active type server monitoring device and method used for monitoring at least one server. The active type server monitoring device comprises a determining module and a control module. The determining module can be used to receive the sensing information, and can be used to determine whether the sensing information accords with the predetermined condition. When the result of the determining module is positive, the control module can output the command signal to the server actively in order to control the server to execute the predetermined special task according to the command signal. The control command signal comprises the predetermined special task, which is corresponding to the predetermined special condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is related to servers, in particular to an active server monitoring device and an active server monitoring method that can automatically sense the server and its environment and actively send control instructions to the server according to the sensing results, which can automatically control the server Efficacy of implementing necessary contingency measures in accordance with control instructions. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, there have been considerable innovations and developments in technologies and equipment related to server management. For example, the so-called baseboard management controller (Baseboard Management Controller, BMC) itself provides a server monitoring medium and a general command specification-Intelligent Platform Management Interface (Intelligent Platform Management Interface, IPMI). [0003] In fact, the smart platform management ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in practical applications, the current method of managing servers through baseboard management controllers still encounters many problems, which need to be overcome urgently

For example, once the external communication of the server is isolated or destroyed, or when an emergency occurs on the server and a decision needs to be made in a very short time, the server administrator cannot remotely operate the server from the client through the baseboard management controller. The computer must directly enter the computer room where the server is set up for operation

Assuming that the computer room where the server is installed is unfortunately on fire or attacked, in addition to the fact that the server may have been destroyed by Zhu Rong, the precious short response time will be lost, and the server manager’s risk of entering the computer room may also cause great damage to his life safety. threaten
