服务器监控技术综述及展望

Review and Prospect of Server Monitoring Technology

随着服务器在各个领域的广泛应用以及服务器规模的不断扩大,服务器监控技术对保障服务器长期有效地工作起着关键性作用。首先对服务器监控的需求进行了阐述;其次对心跳机制、智能平台管理接口(Intelligent Platform Management Interface,IPMI)、简单网络管理协议(Simple Network Management Protocol,SNMP)及虚拟化技术等关键技术进行了归纳和总结,在此基础上描述了国内外主流的监控产品,如IBM Tivoli、HP OpenView等,并对其功能进行了对比和分析;最后对监控技术的发展前景进行了展望,针对现有服务器对高可用性的需求,提出了一种面向高可用服务器的监控框架。

With the extensive application of server in various fields and the scale of server being much huger, server mo- nitoring technology plays a key role in ensuring long-term and effective working of server. This paper began with analy- zing the requirement of server monitoring, and then summarized the related monitoring technology, including heartbeat mechanism, IPMI, SNMP and virtualization technology etc. Besides, this paper described domestic and international main- stream server monitoring products, such as IBM Tivoli, HP OpenView, then contrasted and analyzed their functions. At last,this paper predicted the development of server monitoring technology, and presented a monitoring framework for high availability server.
