下文中，將搭配通訊系統1中的各項裝置、元件、模組及人員(例如，開發人員30及維運人員50)說明本發明實施例所述之方法。本方法的各個流程可依照實施情形而隨之調整，且並不僅限於此。Hereinafter, the methods described in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with various devices, components, modules, and personnel (eg, developers 30 and maintenance personnel 50 ) in the communication system 1 . Each process of the method can be adjusted according to the implementation situation, and is not limited to this.

值得注意的是，維運人員50在監控設備資源時可能需要花費大量時間盤點。此外，因應各種協定、網路系統與架構之網路拓撲圖51，許多已知技術提出建立網路拓撲圖51之方法。然而，這些現有技術僅關注於演算法的創新，並無考量到應用至實際案場會遇到的困難點。因此，本發明實施例提出一個具備拓撲自動偵測功能的設備資源監控系統，提供一個設備監控框架131用以自動探索與監控設備並繪製拓撲圖，可大幅降低開發、維運人力成本。It is worth noting that the maintenance personnel 50 may need to spend a lot of time taking inventory when monitoring equipment resources. In addition, in response to the network topology map 51 of various protocols, network systems and architectures, many known techniques propose methods for creating the network topology map 51 . However, these existing technologies only focus on the innovation of algorithms, and do not take into account the difficulties encountered when applying to actual cases. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a device resource monitoring system with automatic topology detection function, and provides a device monitoring framework 131 to automatically explore and monitor devices and draw a topology map, which can greatly reduce development and maintenance labor costs.

圖3是依據本發明一實施例的設備資源監控方法的流程圖。請參照圖3，設備模組管理模組134判斷一台或更多台待監控設備10對應的功能模組135(步驟S310)。具體而言，不同類型、廠牌或種類的待監控設備10的功能、能力或規格並不相同，使得其功能模組135也不盡相同。FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a device resource monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 , the device module management module 134 determines the function modules 135 corresponding to one or more devices 10 to be monitored (step S310 ). Specifically, the functions, capabilities or specifications of the devices to be monitored 10 of different types, brands or types are not the same, so that the functional modules 135 thereof are also different.

圖4是依據本發明一實施例的開發作業的流程圖。請參照圖4，以監控J牌 EX系列交換機設備為例。首先開發人員30評估需求及研究設備，決定收集哪些待監控設備10的數值並提供告警服務。例如，本次監控欲收集J牌 EX系列交換機設備之CPU平均使用率及記憶體使用率。設備模組管理模組134透過北向介面查詢所要求之待監控設備10(本範例是J牌 EX系列交換機設備)是否已存在適合的對應功能模組135可使用(步驟S401)。例如，比對記錄有已開發功能模組135的對照表。FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a development operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 4, taking monitoring J brand EX series switch equipment as an example. First, the developer 30 evaluates the requirements and researches the equipment, decides which values of the equipment 10 to be monitored are collected, and provides an alarm service. For example, in this monitoring, we want to collect the average CPU usage and memory usage of J brand EX series switches. The device module management module 134 inquires through the northbound interface whether the required device 10 to be monitored (in this example, the J brand EX series switch device) has a suitable corresponding function module 135 available for use (step S401 ). For example, the comparison table of the developed function modules 135 is recorded for comparison.

若未有待監控設備10對應的功能模組135，則設備模組管理模組134測試並研發此待監控設備10的設備模組135。在一實施例中，設備模組管理模組134可經由南向介面連接待監控設備10，並確認透過已知功能模組135的通訊協定139存取待監控設備10的監控資訊的支援能力。這監控資訊可以是待監控設備10的運作狀態(例如，硬體、軟體或服務的使用率、啟動狀態、休眠情況等)。例如，設備模組管理模組134可對待監控設備10測試現存的設備模組135，並確認是否能取得對應運作狀態，從而判斷其支援能力是「支援」或「不支援」(步驟S402)。若仍未有合適的現存設備模組135，則設備模組管理模組134可對待監控設備10使用各通訊協定分別測試，並取得其對應支援能力，且據以決定所支援的通訊協定。If there is no functional module 135 corresponding to the device 10 to be monitored, the device module management module 134 tests and develops the device module 135 of the device 10 to be monitored. In one embodiment, the device module management module 134 can connect the device to be monitored 10 via the southbound interface, and confirm the support capability of accessing the monitoring information of the device to be monitored 10 through the communication protocol 139 of the known function module 135 . The monitoring information may be the operation status of the device 10 to be monitored (eg, the usage rate of hardware, software or services, the startup status, the sleep status, etc.). For example, the equipment module management module 134 can test the existing equipment modules 135 on the equipment to be monitored 10, and confirm whether the corresponding operation status can be obtained, so as to determine whether the support capability is "supported" or "not supported" (step S402). If there is still no suitable existing device module 135, the device module management module 134 can test the device to be monitored 10 using each communication protocol, obtain the corresponding support capability, and determine the supported communication protocol accordingly.

此外，設備模組管理模組134可對待監控設備10實作符合設備監控框架131規範之設備障礙管理(Fault Management，FM)、效能管理(Performance Management，PM)、組態管理 (Configuration Management，CM)或其他網路管理之功能(步驟S403)。In addition, the device module management module 134 can implement the device fault management (FM), performance management (PM), and configuration management (Configuration Management, CM) conforming to the device monitoring framework 131 specification for the device to be monitored 10 . ) or other network management functions (step S403).

若待監控設備10已有對應的功能模組135或已開發有功能模組135，則設備模組管理模組134將此功能模組135管納於設備資源池133-2，並再次驗證功能模組135是否符合監控的需求(例如，可連線、可取得正確資訊等)(步驟S404)。藉此，可完成功能模組135的開發(步驟S405)。若未符合需求，則重新開發功能模組135。If the device 10 to be monitored already has a corresponding function module 135 or a function module 135 has been developed, the device module management module 134 manages the function module 135 in the device resource pool 133-2, and verifies the function again Whether the module 135 meets the monitoring requirements (eg, can be connected, can obtain correct information, etc.) (step S404). Thereby, the development of the function module 135 can be completed (step S405). If the requirements are not met, the function module 135 is redeveloped.

請參照圖3，拓樸管理模組136可依據功能模組135所支援的一個或更多個通訊協定139確認一個或更多個拓樸演算法的支援度(步驟S330)。具體而言，拓樸管理模組136測試待監控設備10對於各種拓撲演算法137所需之資訊是否支援。例如，請參照圖4，開發人員30可透過設備監控框架131提供的南向介面連接待監控設備10，並測試待監控設備10是否支援STP演算法以及支援位址解析通訊協定（Address Resolution Protocol，ARP）或其他快取(cache)存取。測試後，可確認此待監控設備10透過SNMP及SSH協定可取得相關資訊，並據以得出支援度/支援能力(步驟S406)。即，支援度相關是否支援特定拓樸演算法及快取存取。Referring to FIG. 3 , the topology management module 136 can confirm the support degree of one or more topology algorithms according to one or more communication protocols 139 supported by the function module 135 (step S330 ). Specifically, the topology management module 136 tests whether the device to be monitored 10 supports the information required by various topology algorithms 137 . For example, referring to FIG. 4 , the developer 30 can connect the device to be monitored 10 through the southbound interface provided by the device monitoring framework 131 and test whether the device to be monitored 10 supports the STP algorithm and the Address Resolution Protocol (Address Resolution Protocol, ARP) or other cache access. After the test, it can be confirmed that the device 10 to be monitored can obtain relevant information through the SNMP and SSH protocols, and the support degree/capacity can be obtained accordingly (step S406 ). That is, the degree of support is related to whether a specific topology algorithm and cache access are supported.

請參照圖3，拓樸管理模組136可依據支援度建立相關於待監控設備10的拓樸資訊(步驟S350)。具體而言，拓樸資訊相關於待監控設備10與其他設備(例如，其他待監控設備10、監控伺服器100或主機)的連結情形。例如，請參照圖4，拓樸管理模組136可透過南向介面實作STP演算法以及ARP cache，即可取得與此待監控設備10相連接主機或設備的拓撲資訊(例如，網路拓樸圖51)(步驟S407)。Referring to FIG. 3 , the topology management module 136 may create topology information related to the device to be monitored 10 according to the support degree (step S350 ). Specifically, the topology information is related to the connection status of the device 10 to be monitored and other devices (eg, other devices 10 to be monitored, the monitoring server 100 or the host). For example, referring to FIG. 4 , the topology management module 136 can implement the STP algorithm and the ARP cache through the southbound interface, so as to obtain the topology information of the host or device connected to the device 10 to be monitored (eg, network topology information). Figure 51) (step S407).

值得注意的是，此拓樸資訊將有助於後續維運人員50了解整體網路情況，進而輔助障礙排除。It is worth noting that this topology information will help the follow-up maintenance personnel 50 to understand the overall network situation, thereby assisting in eliminating obstacles.

圖5是依據本發明一實施例的維運作業的流程圖。請參照圖5，核心功能模組133經由北向介面接收對待監控設備10的識別資訊，且識別資訊包括該功能模組135。即，維運人員50可透過北向介面納管待監控設備10。例如，維運人員50透過北向介面代入各項所需參數(即，識別資訊；例如，識別碼(id)、網際網路位址(IP address)、埠(port)、功能模組135、各通訊協定139及連線資訊等)。即可完成「註冊」設備監控，核心功能模組133自動把這些資訊存入設備資源池133-2中。FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a maintenance operation according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5 , the core function module 133 receives the identification information of the device to be monitored 10 via the northbound interface, and the identification information includes the function module 135 . That is, the maintenance personnel 50 can manage the equipment to be monitored 10 through the northbound interface. For example, the maintenance personnel 50 substitute various required parameters (ie, identification information; for example, identification code (id), Internet address (IP address), port (port), function module 135, each Protocol 139 and connection information, etc.). The "registered" device monitoring can be completed, and the core function module 133 automatically stores the information in the device resource pool 133-2.

若有維運需求，核心功能模組133可確認是否現存待監控設備10的型號及其功能模組135(步驟S501)。若未存在現存功能模組135，則將相關資訊提供給開發人員30或設備模組管理模組134，並據以重新開發對應功能模組135(步驟S502)。若有現存功能模組135，即可管納設備，並驗證功能模組135是否符合需求(步驟S503)。If there is a maintenance requirement, the core function module 133 can confirm whether the model of the device 10 to be monitored and its function module 135 exist (step S501 ). If there is no existing function module 135, the relevant information is provided to the developer 30 or the equipment module management module 134, and the corresponding function module 135 is redeveloped accordingly (step S502). If there is an existing function module 135, the device can be managed, and it is verified whether the function module 135 meets the requirements (step S503).

納管完設備後，設備監控框架131可自動處理所有後續監控作業，並取得且產生拓撲所需資訊。在一實施例中，核心功能模組133經由北向介面並依據識別資訊排程待監控設備的監控作業。監控作業相關於作業觸發時機、監控內容、及對監控內容的數值運算。例如，完成設備納管後，排程器133-1自動排程定期執行監控作業，且當作業被觸發時會向待監控設備10取得當下欲監控內容之數值。假設取得 CPU「平均」使用率，則使用功能模組135時會以標記(tag)註記。如此一來，設備監控框架131會透過數值計算器133-4自動對多次CPU使用率數值計算。接著，透過資料處理器133-3處理完資料後，傳送監測值給上層系統進行加值處理(例如，報表呈現、障礙告警…等)。同時，拓撲管理模組136選擇拓樸演算法(步驟S504)。例如，拓撲管理模組136會與待監控設備10溝通取得STP(Spanning Tree Protocol)演算法所需與其他設備、主機的對接連線的資料。After the device is managed, the device monitoring framework 131 can automatically process all subsequent monitoring operations, and obtain and generate information required for the topology. In one embodiment, the core function module 133 schedules the monitoring operation of the device to be monitored according to the identification information through the northbound interface. The monitoring job is related to job trigger timing, monitoring content, and numerical operations on the monitoring content. For example, after the device management is completed, the scheduler 133-1 automatically schedules the monitoring operation to be performed periodically, and when the operation is triggered, obtains the current value of the content to be monitored from the device 10 to be monitored. Assuming that the CPU "average" usage is obtained, the use of the function module 135 will be marked with a tag. In this way, the device monitoring framework 131 will automatically calculate the CPU usage rate for multiple times through the numerical calculator 133-4. Next, after the data is processed by the data processor 133-3, the monitoring value is transmitted to the upper-layer system for value-added processing (eg, report presentation, obstacle warning, etc.). At the same time, the topology management module 136 selects a topology algorithm (step S504). For example, the topology management module 136 communicates with the device to be monitored 10 to obtain the data of the connection connection with other devices and hosts required by the STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) algorithm.

且在監控作業中，核心功能模組133可提供基於拓樸資訊的告警資訊。例如，當維運人員50在收到此J牌設備的障礙告警時，想知道此設備於所在機房的連接狀況，即可透過北向介面呼叫拓撲產生功能，並可綜觀整體已納管設備之網路架構，從而快速排除網路障礙。最後，可完成設備監控作業(步驟S505)。And in the monitoring operation, the core function module 133 can provide alarm information based on the topology information. For example, when the maintenance personnel 50 receives the obstacle alarm of the J-brand equipment and wants to know the connection status of the equipment in the equipment room, they can call the topology generation function through the northbound interface, and can view the entire network of managed equipment. road structure, so as to quickly remove network obstacles. Finally, the device monitoring operation can be completed (step S505).
