发明名称 Alarm server systems, apparatus, and processes
摘要 A system used to manage a network by monitoring at least one interface of the network comprises a poller, a server, and a database, all in communication with one another. The poller continuously checks the at least one interface of the network by continuously sending out a poller query message to at least one interface of the network. The poller suspects a first interface of at least one interface of failing when the poller does not receive a poller reply message in response to the query messages from the first interface within a first time period. The poller sends an alert signal to the server notifying the server that the first interface of the at least one interface may be failing when the poller suspects the first interface of the at least one interface is failing. After receiving the alert signal the server sends out at least one server query signal to the first interface, the server monitors the response to determine whether the first interface replies to at least one server query signal by sending at least one server replay message. The server evaluates at least one server replay message to determine whether the first interface is failing. The database contains information concerning at least one interface of the network. When the server determines the first interface is failing, the server pulls first information concerning the first interface and sends an alarm signal with the first information to client applications modules. A process to monitor at least one interface on a network comprises the following steps: (a) continuously sending Get Requests to at least one interface; (b) monitoring any first replies received from at least one interface to the Get Requests to determine whether a reply is received at a first time from each interface of at least one interface; (c) sending an alert message to a server, if a reply is not received from a first interface of at least one interface; (d) sending at least one server query to the first interface by the server; and (e) monitoring any second replies received from the first interface in response to at least one server query by the server to determine whether the first interface has failed.
