Currently, there are two main methods in existing technology for monitoring the running status of BMC: Method 1: Monitoring the internal running status of BMC through BMC's log system, such as debugging logs, audit logs, security logs, system logs, etc. This method requires adding corresponding debugging information to the code parts that need to be monitored within the BMC. The real-time performance is not good, and the log recording formats of each manufacturer are diverse. In many cases, manual intervention is required for analysis, which is inefficient. Method 2: Through the ipmi (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) interface, restful interface, and redfish Interface, snmp get/set or snmp trap or redfish event subscription or SMTP mailbox alarm, etc. When the BMC fails, the corresponding events will be actively reported to the user's background monitoring software or actively queried by the user's background monitoring software. This method depends on the maturity of the BMC interface implementation. The query returned by the ipmi command is basically a hexadecimal value, which is difficult to parse. Moreover, when the user's background process queries the relevant status and resources of the BMC through polling, comparison It consumes system resources, especially when the amount of server data that needs to be monitored is relatively large, and it occupies a large amount of user background resources.

This method depends on the maturity of the BMC interface implementation. The query returned by the ipmi command is basically a hexadecimal value, which is difficult to parse. Moreover, when the user's background process queries the relevant status and resources of the BMC through polling, comparison It consumes system resources, especially when the amount of server data that needs to be monitored is relatively large, and it occupies a large amount of user background resources. To this end, this application provides a BMC running status monitoring solution, which can reduce the resource occupation of the background monitoring system, is real-time and avoids dependence on the maturity of the BMC interface.

As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a BMC operating status monitoring method, which is applied to BMC and includes:

Step S11: Write the current BMC operating data into the Redis (ie Remote Dictionary Server, remote dictionary service) database.

In a specific implementation, the current BMC running data can be written into the Redis database through a process or thread in the BMC.

The BMC operating data includes numerical data, diagnostic data, status data, and log data. The status data includes: process status information, thread status information, sensor status information, and component status information.

Moreover, in a specific implementation, each process and each thread writes its own process status information or thread status information into the Redis database; each process monitoring process and each thread monitoring thread writes its own process status information or thread status information into the Redis database. The process status information or the thread status information of the monitored thread is written into the Redis database; the component status information or sensor status information is written into the Redis database through the process or thread that monitors the component status or sensor status.

That is to say, a process or thread can write its own health status into the Redis database, and can also write the monitored status information of other threads or processes into the Redis database.

Further, this embodiment of the application writes the current BMC running data into the Redis database in a preset key-value pair format through the process or thread in the BMC, so that the corresponding process or thread can read the data from the Redis database;

Wherein, the value data in the preset key-value pair format includes the name of the current process or thread; and, the value data in the preset key-value pair format includes a data type.

Table I

Step S12: Write the BMC running data into the log persistence file in AOF mode through the Redis database.

That is, the Redis database automatically generates logs through its own AOF mechanism based on the data written by each process thread, and adds it to the log persistence file.

This solves the problem that the existing technology cannot realize a complete and effective monitoring of the running status of each process thread within the BMC, and cannot realize real-time monitoring of the data flow of each process and thread.

That is to say, the user's background monitoring system can parse the health status of each component of the BMC, the health status of each process and thread, the interaction information between processes or between threads, and processes based on the log file information reported by the BMC. Or the health status information of processes or threads monitored by threads, etc., and can be processed separately according to the value type. Finally, the overall health status of the current BMC, the running status of each process and thread, and each process thread for a certain key are displayed on the display interface. Data flow direction, etc., so that the operation diagram of any BMC can be dynamically displayed through icons and other forms, forming a complete BMC operation status display diagram. In this way, there is no need for background monitoring system polling. The user's background monitoring system only needs to receive the data reported by each BMC and perform corresponding analysis. It can monitor the running status of each process and thread of any BMC in real time, including the relationship between each process and each thread. The data flow direction can also analyze the data implantation of each process thread for a specific key, displaying the internal running details of BMC to the greatest extent, and supporting the user's backend system to achieve fault tracking and location and historical BMC running status. analyze.
