Abstract

A method executed by a processor of a server sets device parameters and system parameters in relation to the server and one or more monitoring devices, and collects data from each of the one or more monitoring devices according to the set device parameters and system parameters. The collected data is stored into a first queue, and read at a specified time interval, and then stored into a database. Any abnormality in the operation of the monitoring devices is stored into a second queue and processed in real-time.

Claims

1. A method for managing monitored data being executed by a processor of a server, the method comprising:

(a) setting device parameters and system parameters in relation to the server and one or more monitoring devices connected to the server;

(b) collecting monitored data from each of the one or more monitoring devices according to the set device parameters and system parameters;

(c) storing the collected monitored data into a first queue; and

(d) reading the monitored data in the first queue at a specified time interval, and storing the monitored data into a database.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein between the step (b) and the step (c) the method further comprising:

(e) determining whether an abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data, and implementing the step (c) in response that no abnormality occurs; and

(f) storing information in relation to the abnormality into a second queue in response that the abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step (a), the steps (b-c), the step (d), and the step (f) are independently implemented by multi-thread processing.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the step (a), the device parameters and system parameters are obtained from documents in XML format.

5. A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of a server to perform a method for managing monitored data, the method comprising:

(a) setting device parameters and system parameters in relation to the server and one or more monitoring devices connected to the server;

(b) collecting monitored data from each of the one or more monitoring devices according to the set device parameters and system parameters;

(c) storing the collected monitored data into a first queue; and

(d) reading the monitored data in the first queue at a specified time interval, and storing the monitored data into a database.

6. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 5, wherein between the step (b) and the step (c) the method further comprising:

(e) determining whether an abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data, and implementing the step (c) in response that no abnormality occurs; and

(f) storing information in relation to the abnormality into a second queue in response that the abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data.

7. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 6, wherein the step (a), the steps (b-c), the step (d), and the step (f) are independently implemented by multi-thread processing.

8. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 5, wherein in the step (a), the device parameters and system parameters are obtained from documents in XML format.

9. A server, the server being connected to one or more monitoring devices and a database server, the server comprising:

a storage unit;

at least one processor; and

one or more programs stored in the storage unit, executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;

a setting module operable to set device parameters and system parameters in relation to the server and the one or more monitoring devices;

a collection module operable to collect monitored data from each of the one or more monitoring devices according to the set device parameters and system parameters;

a queue storage module operable to store the collected monitored data into a first queue; and

a database storage module operable to read the monitored data in the first queue at a specified time interval, and store the monitored data into a database in the database server.

10. The server as claimed in claim 9, wherein the one or more programs further comprising:

a determination module operable to determine whether an abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data, and detonate the queue storage module to store the collected monitored data into the first queue in response that no abnormality occurs; and

an abnormality storage module operable to store information in relation to the abnormality into a second queue in response that the abnormality occurs during collection of the monitored data.

11. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein the setting module, the collection module and queue storage module, the database storage module, and the abnormality storage module are independently applied by multi-thread processing.

12. The server as claimed in claim 9, wherein the device parameters and system parameters are obtained from documents in XML format.
