The objects such as network send unsolicited message by TRAP (port numbers) to Network Management Equipment, are occurred with expressing a certain event, non-by this
OID (Object identifier, object identifier) value in request message judges whether the message belongs to alarm event.
When actually realizing, for a certain alarm event, whole property parameters of the alarm event can be obtained, also may be used
To obtain a part of property parameters of the alarm event；In order to ensure the objectivity of the alarm level of generation and referring to property, lead to
Often at least obtain two attribute parameters of the alarm event.
Step S104, it is each property parameters assignment according to the property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment prestored；
The assignment procedure can use following two kinds of embodiments：
A kind of optional embodiment is：User passes through according to the property parameters prestored and the corresponding relation of assignment
Interactive interface is each property parameters assignment of current alarm event, and Network Management Equipment receives and preserves each property parameters assignment；
Another optional embodiment is：Network Management Equipment can be based on the property parameters prestored and pair of assignment
It should be related to, be the parameters assignment of current alarm event by way of searching, comparing；The property parameters prestored and
The corresponding relation of assignment can be stored in table form, and assignment can be represented with numerical value, assignment corresponding to each property parameters
Size can also can directly replicate the property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment according to statistics experience setting from miscellaneous equipment,
The present invention is to this without limiting.
Step S106, calculate the summation of the assignment of each above-mentioned property parameters；For example, the assignment phase by each property parameters
Add, obtain summation；
Step S108, alarm level corresponding with above-mentioned summation is generated for the alarm event.
Alarm level in the present embodiment is to embody the importance of alarm severity, and the value of summation is bigger, corresponding alarm
Rank is more important, based on this, can the summation of property parameters assignment according to corresponding to alarm event will alert and position different level
Not, such as：Summation is Level 1Alarming 0~30, and summation alerts 31~60 for two level, summation being accused for three-level higher than 60
It is alert.
In the generation method for the alarm level that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides, pass through each property parameters list for alarm event
Only assignment, the summation of the assignment based on each property parameters obtains the alarm level of the alarm event, this to be joined with each attribute
Several assignment summations obtain alert level otherwise, it is not necessary to alarm level is respectively configured for each property parameters in advance, it is and same
The different property parameters of one equipment correspond to different multiple alarm levels and compared, the method in the disclosure, for same equipment
Multiple property parameters finally only embody an alarm level, thus simplify mode of operation.Meanwhile by will influence to alert
Each property parameters of rank represent that implementation is flexible with the form of assignment, can more objectively obtain the alarm thing
The alarm level of part, alarm level is had more reference value, enhance the practicality of alarm level.
Embodiment two：
The generation method flow chart of second of alarm level shown in Figure 2, wherein, if property parameters include alarm
Type, then property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment comprise at least：Initially divide corresponding to each alarm type and default urgent
Increment point corresponding to alarm type, wherein, the critical alarm type and the business association of operation；
If property parameters include alarm source, the corresponding relation of property parameters and assignment comprises at least：Each network element conduct
Equipment corresponding to alarm source point, position of the equipment point with network element in network topological diagram associate；
If property parameters include alarm time, the corresponding relation of property parameters and assignment comprises at least：Each operation industry
Business is in the time corresponding to preset time period point；
If property parameters produce number including alerting, the corresponding relation of property parameters and assignment comprises at least：Alarm
Produce number point corresponding to number；
If property parameters include alarm association, the corresponding relation of property parameters and assignment comprises at least：Alarm is closed
Parent alarm, subclass alarm, fraternal class alert association point corresponding to difference in connection property.
Method provided in this implementation includes alarm type, alarm source, alarm time, alarm generation time with property parameters
Illustrated exemplified by number and alarm association, this method comprises the following steps：
Step S202, current untreated alarm event is defined as alarm event to be analyzed.
The alarm event may come from the network element device in network, and these network element devices are by Network Management Equipment management and prison
Control；When alarm event occurs for network, first alarm event can be preserved into an alarm event table, then one by one in the table
Each alarm event generation alarm level；The specific form of the alarm event table may be referred to correlation technique realization, for example, should
Table includes：Alarm event mark, receive the elements such as time.
When which is particularly applicable to network side within a very short time while a large amount of alarm events occurs, it is impossible in time
In the case of alarm level being generated for each alarm event.
Step S204, alarm type, alarm source, alarm time are obtained from alarm event；From alarm event record sheet
The alarm for obtaining alarm event produces number；According to the relation of alarm event in alarm event record sheet and other alarm events,
Determine the alarm association of alarm event.
Specifically, when a certain alarm event reaches, the alarm event carries alarm type, alarm source, alarm in itself
The information such as time；Wherein, the alarm type includes the polytypes such as interface down, equipment is unreachable；Alarm source is usually network
Inside break down or abnormal equipment；Alarm time can be the time that alarm occurs, or receive the alarm event
Time.
When alarm event is not solved, it is generally held in a pending list, passes through statistics and current alarm
The sum of event identical alarm time, the alarm that can obtain the alarm event produce number；Further, due in network
Annexation and data communications context between equipment be present, thus association is also usually there will be between each alarm event, for example,
When a certain alarm event occurs, another alarm event occurs immediately；Therefore, the alarm between alarm event and other alarm events
Relevance, influence degree of the alarm event to network operation situation can be reacted to a certain extent.
Step S206, using each property parameters, the property parameters prestored and the corresponding relation of assignment are searched respectively,
Obtain the assignment of each property parameters.
The property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment include：
(1) initial point and the corresponding increment point of default critical alarm type corresponding to each alarm type；Wherein, this is tight
Anxious alarm type and the business association of operation；
For example, for wireless access business, equipment inaccessible alarm could be arranged to critical alarm type；For banking
Business, access class alarm could be arranged to critical alarm type.In assignment, initial point can be set corresponding to each alarm type
For 5 points, increment point corresponding to critical alarm type could be arranged to 5 points, thus, it is entered as 10 corresponding to critical alarm type
Point.
In addition, according to the needs of specific transactions pattern, webmaster personnel can also be to the alarm of the business model quite sensitive
The higher score value of type set, for example, being entered as 20 points corresponding to the alarm type that Link State changes.
(2) each network element associates as equipment corresponding to alarm source point, position of the equipment point with network element in network topological diagram；
Generally, the equipment point of the network element of key position is higher than the equipment point of the network element positioned at marginal position in network；
For example, when the network element as alarm source is located at the position at edge the most, equipment is divided into a basis point；When network element sets for gateway
When standby, equipment is divided into twice of basis point；When network element is two-layer equipment or three-layer equipment, equipment is divided into three times basis point；Work as net
When member is located at network topology key point, equipment is divided into four times of bases and graded.Pipe one of often being received when actually realizing, in network is newly set
Standby, webmaster personnel need position and other features of the equipment, set the equipment point of the equipment.
(3) respectively operation business is divided in the time corresponding to preset time period；
According to the demand of business model, is set to each period the time point；For example, in the working time of webmaster personnel
Interior, the time point of alarm event is relatively low；Within the non-working time of webmaster personnel, the time point of alarm event is higher；Specifically,
Between during the day in section, the time point can be 5 points；In night hours section, the time point can be 10 points；Or on weekdays,
Time point can be 5 points；At weekend, the time point can be 10 points, etc..For another example, in current business pattern, business busy,
The time of alarm event point is higher；Business idle, the time point of alarm event are relatively low.
(4) alarm produces number point corresponding to number；
For example, identical alarm generation is more frequent, the number point of alarm event is higher；Or close type or alarm source
Similar alarm generation is more frequent, and the number point of alarm event is higher.Specifically, alarm number often increases once, and number point can
With 5 points of increase.
(5) parent alarm, subclass alarm, the alarm of fraternal class corresponding association point respectively in alarm association.
For example, when alarm A occurs, necessarily draw and alert B；Wherein, the parent alarm that A is alarm B is alerted；Alert B
To alert the alarm of A subclass；For another example, although alarm C and alarm D always occurs without causality, now, alerts C simultaneously
With alarm D fraternal class alarms each other.The alarm event of above-mentioned alarm association is typically, there are, it associates to divide to be higher than to be not present and accused
The alarm event of alert relevance；The association point of parent alarm alerts higher than subclass；The pass of the alarm event of fraternal class alarm each other
It is same to join split-phase.Specifically, when alarm alerts for parent, association point can be 10 points；When alarm alerts for fraternal class, association
Dividing can be 5 points.
Step S208, calculate the summation of the assignment of above-mentioned multiple property parameters；
Step S210, alarm level corresponding with summation is generated for alarm event.
By the above method, the alarm level of current untreated each alarm event can be obtained, for the ease of user
Check, these alarm events can be shown according to the alarm level of each alarm event.
In the generation method for the alarm level that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides, pass through the alarm type for alarm event, alarm
Source, alarm time, alarm produce the independent assignment of the parameter such as number and alarm association, and the assignment summation based on multiple parameters obtains
The alarm level of the alarm event, which need not be respectively configured alarm level for each property parameters in advance, be set with same
Standby different property parameters correspond to different multiple alarm levels and compared, the method in the disclosure, for the more of same equipment
Individual property parameters finally only embody an alarm level, thus simplify mode of operation.Meanwhile by the way that alarm level will be influenceed
Each property parameters represent that implementation is flexible with the form of assignment, can more objectively obtain the alarm event
Alarm level, alarm level is had more reference value, enhance the practicality of alarm level.
Embodiment three：
The generation method flow chart of the third alarm level shown in Figure 3, this method still include police with property parameters
Type, alarm source, alarm time, alarm illustrate exemplified by producing number and alarm association, and this method comprises the following steps：
Step S302, the alarm event being currently received is defined as to alarm event to be analyzed, it is clear in order to describe, will
The alarm event is referred to as current alarm event.
When alarm event occurs for network, alarm level can be identified to the alarm event in real time；Which can be applied
Alarm event negligible amounts occur in network side, in the case of alarm level can be generated in time for each alarm event.
Step S304, alarm type, alarm source, alarm time are obtained from current alarm event；Recorded from alarm event
The alarm that current alarm event is obtained in table produces number.
There can be relevance with another alarm event in view of the alarm event, such as set membership, brotherhood, because
This, alarm association corresponding to the alarm event includes：Parent alarm, subclass alarm, the alarm of fraternal class；The alarm of the present embodiment
Event is the event being currently received, and when only subsequently receiving new alarm event again, just can determine that current alarm event is
It is no to be alerted for parent, specifically, determining whether current alarm event is that parent alarm can use existing embodiment, this reality
Example repeats no more.The present embodiment to current alarm event whether be another kind of alarm event subclass alarm or fraternal class alert into
Row explanation, it is specific as follows.
Step S306, judge the current alarm event whether be another alarm event subclass alarm；If it is, perform step
Rapid S308；If not, perform step S310.
If current alarm event alerts for the subclass of another alarm event, another alarm event is because the current alarm
The appearance of event, assignment can also be updated corresponding to its alarm association, more to tally with the actual situation, based on this, this reality
Apply the update mode that example provides following steps S308.
Step S308, the assignment of the alarm association of another alarm event is updated according to association point corresponding to parent alarm,
And the alarm level of another alarm event.
It is performed as described above described in example, the property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment that can be prestored by lookup, obtains every
The assignment of individual property parameters., can also be from above-mentioned for association point corresponding to the parent alarm in alarm association in this step
Found in corresponding relation.Citing：Current alarm event is a events, and a events are the child alarms of A events, it is assumed that a do not occur
During event, A events and the equal onrelevant of any alarm event, its alarm association are entered as 0；And when there are a events, and a things
Part is the child alarm event of A events, according to the property parameters and the corresponding relation of assignment prestored, finds the tax of parent alarm
Value, it is assumed that be 10, therefore be now updated to the alarm association assignment of A events, i.e., be updated to 10 by original 0.It is based on
This, the summation of property parameters assignment corresponding to A events is also required to add 10, and after summation change, the alarm level of A events can basis
New summation is updated.
Step S310, judge the current alarm event whether be another alarm event fraternal class alarm；If it is, perform
Step S312；If not, perform step S314.
Step S312, according to the tax of the alarm association of another alarm event of association point renewal corresponding to the alarm of fraternal class
Value, and the alarm level of another alarm event.
The renewal operation of this step may be referred to above-mentioned steps S308 implementation process.Citing：Current alarm event is b things
Part, b events are the fraternal class alarms of B events, it is assumed that when there are not b events, the alarm association of B events is entered as 20, goes out
After existing b events, and fraternal class is alerted b events each other with B events, and corresponding according to the property parameters and assignment prestored is closed
System, find the assignment of fraternal class alarm, it is assumed that be 5, therefore now the alarm association assignment of B events be updated, i.e., by
20 originally are updated to 25.Based on this, the summation of property parameters assignment corresponding to B events is also required to add 5, after summation change, B things
The alarm level of part can be updated according to new summation.
Step S314, using each property parameters of above-mentioned current alarm event, the attribute ginseng prestored is searched respectively
The corresponding relation of number and assignment, obtains the assignment of each property parameters.
For above-mentioned alarm event, property parameters are except the alarm type, alarm source, the alarm time that are obtained in step S304
Produced with alarm outside number, if judging that the subclass that the alarm event is another alarm event alerts by step S306,
Above-mentioned property parameters also include：Subclass alarm in alarm association, based on this, above-mentioned assignment is also included corresponding to subclass alarm
Association point；If judge that the fraternal class that the alarm event is another alarm event alerts by step S310, above-mentioned property parameters
Also include：Fraternal class alarm in alarm association, based on this, above-mentioned assignment also includes association point corresponding to the alarm of fraternal class.
Step S316, calculate the summation of the assignment of above-mentioned property parameters.
Step S318, alarm level corresponding with the summation is generated for the current alarm event.
For example, the corresponding alert priority that summation is 1-30 points is not Level 1Alarming；Summation is divided corresponding for 31-60
Alert priority Wei not two level alarm；Summation Wei three-level alarm higher than alert priority corresponding to 60 points；Generally, can be by three
Level alarm is arranged to the alarm level of highest priority.
In the generation method for the alarm level that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides, for police's type of alarm event, alarm source, alarm
Time, alarm produce the independent assignment of parameter such as number；When judge the alarm event be other alarm events subclass alarm or
During fraternal class alarm, the assignment of the alarm association of current alarm event is divided into according to corresponding association, and is updated associated therewith
The assignment and alarm level of the alarm association of another alarm event of connection；Which need not be in advance each property parameters
Alarm level is respectively configured in combination, compared with different multiple alarm levels are corresponded to the different property parameters of same equipment, this
Method in open, an alarm level is finally only embodied for multiple property parameters of same equipment, thus simplify behaviour
Make mode.Meanwhile by the way that each property parameters for influenceing alarm level are represented into implementation is flexible with the form of assignment,
The alarm level of the alarm event can be more objectively obtained, alarm level is had more reference value, enhances alert level
Other practicality.
