Description
Background of invention
The technology of the present invention field
The present invention relates generally to network resource management, is designed for the method and system of network management information in video data or the communication network particularly.
The explanation of relevant technologies
Fault Management System is an a kind of alarm monitoring system, is used for handling mistake or fault that telecommunications or data communication network occur.This network generally comprises a large amount of network element, for example computer switch, router, port or T1 circuit etc.In Fault Management System, network element is represented as management objectives, and they are software objects of real network unit under the corresponding alarm monitoring.When Fault Management System received the alarm of specific network unit, Fault Management System was stored the alarm status of network element in the corresponding institute management objectives.Therefore, Fault Management System monitors that the fault in the whole institute supervising the network occurs and state.
Fault Management System further comprises a graphical presentation system, is used for display network alarm on the operator monitor device.The image object or the icon of network element in this graphical presentation system operation expression network.The information of relevant each image object of management information bank storage that links to each other with graphical presentation system comprises the title of the network element that corresponding image object is represented about the network element position of other network element with by image object.When the Fault Management System reception carries the alarm of " alarm " newtork element names, the image object of graphical presentation system search representative alarm network element.If search for successfully, graphical presentation system is alarmed this image object state with expression alarm status (for example, by making suitable icon with the dangerous alarm of redness flicker expression).On the other hand, if search failure, the state that graphical presentation system will be alarmed the image object that produces of appointment carries alarm for the Internet resources title of graphical presentation system the unknown with expression.
By display network unit on display and expression alarm, graphical presentation system notifying operation personnel in system Fault Management System work as prior fault.Usually, image object is superimposed on that visual Background draws so that the position of operating personnel's perception alarm network element.In addition, the interconnection of various image objects is expressed, so that the operator can intuitively see the relation between the alarm network element.According to relation between the shown network element and operator's experience of working, the operator can confirm that correctness in a plurality of alarms is with help treatment system fault.
Because it is big that data and communication network constantly become, therefore, this class graphical presentation system problem is more and more.Be the data on each unit in the protecting network, management information bank must be very big.As a result, obviously can not keep management information bank and graphical presentation system to upgrade with the network configuration of current layout and development continuously.In addition, if network operator passes through the Internet Server supervising the network, the download time of graphical presentation system may be long for macroreticular.
To comprise the image object of corresponding each network element as a kind of alternative method, graphical presentation system can be set up to such an extent that represent a large amount of network element by single image object in graphical presentation system., this scheme need handling resource to require more, because graphical presentation system must consider that the state of a large amount of network element is to determine the characteristic of delay image object.If the quantity by the network element of single target representative is big relatively, then might be in a kind of alarm status by image object, because at least one that might many at any given time map networks unit is at alarm status always.This result has reduced the validity of graphical presentation system.
Therefore, need a kind of system and method to be used at the graphical presentation system of Fault Management System with mode display message effectively and efficiently.Preferably, this system and method should not need a large amount of memories store relevant a large amount of network element each data and do not need consuming timely to upgrade graphical presentation system so that its complete corresponding real network.This graphical presentation system should reduce the quantity of the needed data of operating trouble management system, so that can realize under the Internet-browser environment, and the processing resource of Fault Management System is not applied undue burden.At last, this system should preferably include an image object of each network element, to help operator's failure cause in the recognition network and handle it more promptly.
The present invention's general introduction
The present invention includes a kind of system and method, be used for using graphical presentation system to monitor warning information in data or communication network.This network generally comprises a plurality of network element.When one of network element detection failure, network element produces alarm information, and this message is delivered to graphical presentation system.Graphical presentation system extracts warning information and produces the image object of corresponding alarm network element from alarm information.In addition, graphical presentation system is created in and shows the necessary other image object of this alarm network element under the suitable environment.Usually, this comprises the image object of representing each network element, and this network element that has formed the alarm network element monitors chain.The characteristic of alarm image object is selected must represent alarm conditions, for example by making the alarm image object with the dangerous alarm conditions of redness flicker expression.
The influence that the display alarm image object allows network operator to take action and correct or reduce institute's detection failure under suitable environment.In case alarm is eliminated, and begins a timeliness timer.When the timeliness timer expired, graphical presentation system is determined one of selected group of image object image object whether designated conduct forever shows.If not, graphical presentation system determines whether that then image object comprises any existing alarm.If image object does not comprise one or several existing alarm, image object is eliminated up to all existing alarms by the graphical presentation system reservation.On the other hand, if image object does not comprise any other existing alarm, image object removes from show and deletes.Next higher image object is estimated one then and is determined whether its permanent image object of designated conduct or it does not have any existing alarm in the hierarchy.If no, then high image object is also deleted.This cyclic process continues, up to arriving the image object that has been designated as forever or has comprised existing alarm.
Therefore, method and system of the present invention by according to be included in the alarm information information again the necessary part of building network avoided needs to the database of all unit informations on the storage networking.In addition, graphical presentation system only shows that those image objects that relate to existing alarm in the network are to increase the efficient of Fault Management System.

Detailed description of the present invention
In data and communication network, network element can be by with various topological structure tissues, although the hierarchy design is the most general.This design example is as being implemented in transmission network, the network and sub-network relation and in the digital hierarchy structure of logical name convention.
Referring now to Figure 1A, 1B, 1C, represented the hierarchy of the demonstration network unit 10 of exemplary visual goal tree type structure 9, exemplary management goal tree type structure 6 and formation network 4 respectively.Each network element 20 is by management objectives 12 representatives of correspondence, and this target resides in the software of Fault Management System.Management objectives tree 6 is also represented the relation between the various network elements.By corresponding visual goal tree type structure 8 representatives in the graphical presentation system, each management objectives 12 is represented an image object 14 to this management objectives tree 6 immediately.Because this one-one relationship between management objectives 12 (and/or network element 10) and image object 14, the alarm of specific network unit 10 can be presented on the graphical presentation system distinctively by unique image object 14.
This one-one relationship is desirable.; in the macroreticular that millions of network element 10 are arranged; complete image object tree 8 is impossible, because network 4 is too big, and the correlation (or synchronously) between the hierarchy of impossible maintenance image object tree, management objectives tree 6 and network element 10.This macroreticular needs the several hrs complete synchronous.When synchronous task is finished, real network with upgrade after management objectives and image object tree 6 compare with 8 and further develop or change.In addition, from may be oversize, have hindered the possibility that under the general internet browser environment, realizes graphical presentation system based on the needed time of the whole graphical presentation system of the Internet download of server.
Referring now to Fig. 2 A, 2B, 2C, the network element exemplary hierarchy structure of exemplary visual goal tree type structure 8, exemplary management goal tree type structure 6 and formation network 4 has been described, obstruction image object 14 ｀ that represent 12 groups of management objectives are wherein arranged.This design has reduced the size of image object tree 8 and can be used for the speed of graphical presentation system is increased to acceptable level and limits above-mentioned stationary problem., the result stops up the alarm indication that whenever must show that any network element 10 of image object 14 ｀ in the subtree type structure of its control produces alarm.In addition, stop up the highest alarm severity that image object 14 ｀ must be illustrated in all management objectives 12 in its subtree type structure.If management objectives 12
1Have dangerous alarm severity, and management objectives 12
2Have very little alarm, stop up image object 14 ｀ and will represent a dangerous alarm status, because this is the highest seriousness alarm.
Realize that such graphical presentation system has applied very high burden on the processing resource.This is because the alarm status of all management objectives 12 under stopping up image object 14 ｀ and controlling is relevant.Under network element 10 situation that report is alarmed continuously fast of one of management objectives 12 under the correspondence control, for example, determine that the processing load of stopping up image object 14 ｀ characteristics may slow to graphical presentation system unacceptable degree.Navigation and zoom function by graphical presentation system can further increase processing load.
In addition, when stopping up a large amount of controls of image object 14 ｀ representative down during management objectives 12, stop up possible major part of image object 14 ｀ or All Time all at alarm status, because might go up the following management objectives 12 of at least one control at any given time at alarm status.If when for example one of obstruction image object 14 ｀ correspondence is represented the switch of several thousand network element in the switch, then stop up image object 14 ｀ probably always at alarm status.This result has eliminated the purposes of image surveillance system and has reduced the validity of graphical presentation system.
Referring now to Fig. 3 A, 3B, 3C, represented the exemplary hierarchy structure of the network element 10 of exemplary visual goal tree type structure 8, exemplary management goal tree type structure 6 and formation network 4, wherein some network element 10 is not illustrated in management objectives tree 6 or the image object tree 8.This condition often appears at the nonsynchronous occasion of graphical presentation system and/or Fault Management System and network.In the case, when Fault Management System receives not the alarm that the management objectives 12 of representative send, graphical presentation system is by alarm " house steward " image object 14 " characteristic indicates alarm status, and this is used to show the fault message of the all-network unit 10 of relevant Fault Management System the unknown.If a large amount of network element 10 are unknown for Fault Management System, " house steward " image object 14 " almost always at alarm status, and the validity of graphical presentation system will weaken.
A kind of replacement scheme is to use necessary artificial regeneration with maintenance and the synchronous management information bank of real network, and this allows graphical presentation system to receive the alarm that comprises unknown network unit 10 titles whenever and all produces new image object 14.The problem of this scheme is that the image object tree change afterwards of operation a period of time causes many problems relevant with Figure 1A-1C and 2A-2C greatly.In addition, the image object 14 and the management objectives 12 of the network element 10 that correspondence withdraws from (i.e. the network element of having eliminated from network 4 10) may remain in the management information bank, and have reduced the accuracy of graphical presentation system and caused the operator puzzled potentially.
According to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a Fault Management System comprises a graphical presentation system that does not keep the management information bank of whole network 4.In fact, graphical presentation system is beginning to produce a spot of top image object 14.These top image objects 14 are deleted from graphical presentation system never, no matter and their alarm status of graphical presentation system how all to show these top image objects 14 (that is, existing alarm or not alarm).Preferably, 4 representatives of top image object often do not produce and eliminate and stable network unit 10 in configuration often.Top image object 14 may typical example such as switch, service area, submarine cable, satellite and terrestrial base station.The alarm of top network element 10 can easily utilize these permanent image object 14 representatives.
When Fault Management System received alarm than low level network unit 10, graphical presentation system was that each affected network element 10 produces image objects 14, and only shows the new image object 14 that produces and the indication of their alarm statuses.Usually, affected networks unit 10 is included in the all-network unit 10 on the Alarm Unit 10 in the hierarchy.In case cause that the fault of alarm is processed, will from graphical presentation system, delete as the image object 14 in alarm source.In addition, any other produced and shown as the image object 14 of this alarm result also deleted (for example, represent in the network hierarchy structure the image object 14 of the network element 10 on the network element of alarming 10).
Therefore, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, graphical presentation system does not need big management information bank to store the message and the image object 14 of the all-network unit 10 of whole network.Between image object tree 8, management objectives tree 6 and real network unit 10, keep synchronous problem to be avoided, also avoided management information bank is carried out the needs of artificial regeneration.The quantity of image object 14 also remains on the degree identical with the current network alarm quantity.Because the relatively little in the case (order of magnitude that has only hundreds of of the quantity of image object 14, but not in display system several thousand in the graphical presentation system of all image objects 14 or millions of), this graphical presentation system can respond apace the alarm and can under internet environment, realize.In addition, this graphical presentation system keeps the one-one relationship between network element 10 image object 14 relevant with exercise question, compares the validity (seeing Fig. 2 A-2C) of having improved graphical presentation system thus with the system that uses the many network element 10 of an image object 14 representatives.
Referring now to Fig. 4, represented to be used for flow chart in a kind of method of graphical presentation system display network fault message according to the present invention.In step 100, receive an alarm information by graphical presentation system.This alarm information comprises the condition and the title of an alarm event indication or alarm network element 10.In addition, the alarm information sign environment of alarm network element 10, the complete chain of the higher network element 10 of the highest network element 0 it preferably includes from the network element 10 that monitors alarm network element 10 immediately to hierarchy.In step 102, the title of alarm network element 10 is extracted from alarm information, in step 104, points out to find the image object 14 of relevant alarm network element 10.This relevant image object 14 can exist, for example, if alarm network element 10 has had existing alarm conditions, if it be relevant existing alarm condition the unit a part (promptly, alarm for an Alarm Unit subordinate unit), if or alarm network element 10 are in a small amount of permanent top image object 14 one.
If the image object 14 of relevant alarm network element 10 has not existed, then image object 14 is produced in step 106.In addition, when according to information Recognition that alarm information extracted, also produce the environment of alarm image object 14.In case produce, about the image object 14 of alarming network element 10 is displayed on the operator monitor device with environmental image target 14.If the image object 14 of relevant alarm network element 10 has existed, then new image object 14 does not need to produce.If alarm image object 14 may be shown, then suitable environmental image target 14 also is shown., if desired suitably environmental image target 14 can be produced.
In case alarm image object 14 is positioned or produces, the type of the alarm event that its characteristic is indicated in step 108 is alarmed with the reflection alarm information.For example, if alarm conditions dangerous diagram image display system may make alarm image object 14 with the redness flicker, if alarm is that dangerous situation is not changed into yellow.Then, in step 110, determine whether alarm conditions are removed.This can be by checking that alarm information determines whether to indicate this alarm to be eliminated and carries out.Usually, initial alarm information indication specific fault condition.In case this fault is repaired, another alarm information is sent out and the message seriousness field that received in the past is set to " removing ".If the alarm information that receives in step 100 is not alarm " removing " message, then process finishes in step 124.
At last, alarm conditions will be eliminated, and the alarm information of the image object that the expression alarm should be eliminated is received.In case this alarm is eliminated, at step 112 beginning timeliness timer.This timeliness timer allows alarm image object 14 and its environmental image target 14 to keep image to show predetermined amount of time after alarm conditions are treated.Use predetermined amount of time for the operator is convenient, and prevent to need to produce another image object 14 of representing identical network unit 10, eliminated another alarm that relates to identical image object 14 that the short time occurs after original alarm.Preferably, during the section, the characteristic of image object 14 current is not had alarm conditions to exist by alarm to indicate once more at the fixed time.
In step 114, determine whether that the timeliness timer then.In case alarm image object 14 had been specified in the memory of relevant graphical presentation system one of permanent image object 14 as relatively small amount before the timeliness timer then, then determined whether.If this process finishes and does not carry out the further action of step 124.If image object 14 is not designated as forever, then determine whether that by the graphical presentation system of checking the storage alarm information image object 14 is about having the management objectives 12 or the network element 10 of existing alarm in step 118.If image object 14 has existing alarm really, this process finishes and does not carry out further action in step 124.Image object 14 remains on the operator's display as a result, is eliminated (with the all-network unit 10 of its subordinate) up to remaining at least network element 10 alarms.If there is not existing alarm relevant, eliminates and from the memory of graphical presentation system, delete from display at step 120 image object 14 with image object 14.
This process begins to continue to check next higher image object 14 hierarchy from step 122 then, to determine whether suggestion it is eliminated from graphical presentation system.In other words, analyze next higher image object 14 to determine whether that it has been designated as permanent or its (or in its other undernet unit 10 any one) does not keep existing alarm in step 116 and 118.This process repeats these steps 116 to 122, up to arriving as image object 14 permanent or that comprise existing alarm.In this way, each environmental image target 14 is deleted from graphical presentation system to prevent the unnecessary demonstration of image object 14.
Referring now to Fig. 5, the demonstrative structure of the alarm information 20 that uses in conjunction with the embodiment of the invention has been described.This alarm information 20 comprises an alarm indication field 22, and seriousness is perceiveed in these field sign alarm conditions and alarm.Alarm information 20 further comprises a plurality of fields 24,30 and 36, and the relevant the highest network element 10 (field 24) from hierarchy of expression is reduced to the information of each network element 10 chain of alarming network element 10 (field 36).Each of these fields 24,30,36 comprises data 26,32 and 38, the type of sign network element 10, and each network element 10 in title 28,34 and the 40 expression chains.In above-mentioned example, " unit 3 " is alarm network element 10.The coded message of use in alarm information 20, graphical presentation system can reconstitute the image object 14 of affected network 4 parts as interconnection on the operator monitor device.
Referring now to Fig. 6 A, 6B, 6C, represented demonstration network unit 10 hierarchies of exemplary visual goal tree type structure 8, exemplary management goal tree type structure 6 and formation network 4, embodiments of the invention have been described.Network 4 comprises a plurality of network element 10
