Abstract
When the system administrator, using an management terminal 600, changes the settings of a storage device 200, a log concentration device 400 is notified of the settings. These settings include the IP address of peripheral servers 300. On the basis of the IP address of the peripheral servers 300 of which it is notified by the storage device 200, the log concentration device 400 changes the log concentration targets. As a result, even if the system configuration of the computer system including the storage device should be modified, the log concentration device can concentrate the appropriate logs from the servers.
Claims9
A computer system connecting a computer to a network, comprising:
- a storage device that stores data received from said computer over a network;
- and
- a log concentration device that concentrates log information from a server device group connected to said network,
- wherein said storage device comprises:
- a settings information receiving unit that receives as a part of settings information an address of a predetermined server device that, of said server device group, is required for operation of said storage device on said network;
- an operational setting unit that performs settings to initiate operation on said network on the basis of said received settings information;
- and
- a settings information notifying unit that notifies said log concentration device of said address included in said settings information;
- and wherein said log concentration device comprises:
- a concentration target designating unit that designates a server device targeted for concentration of log information, on the basis of said address given in the notification by said storage device;
- and
- a log information concentrating unit that concentrates said log information from said designated server device.
A storage device for storing data received from a computer over a network, comprising:
- a settings information receiving unit that receives as a part of settings information an address of a predetermined server device required for operation of said storage device to be operated on said network;
- an operational setting unit that carries out settings to initiate operation on said network on the basis of said received settings information;
- and
- a log concentration control unit that notifies a log concentration device that concentrates log information from a server device group connected to said network, of the address included in said received settings information, in order to cause said log concentration device to concentrate log information of the server device corresponding to said address from among said server device group.
Log concentration control method for controlling concentration of log information by a storage device that stores data received from a computer over a network comprising:
- receiving an address of a predetermined server device required for operation of said storage device on said network as a part of settings information;
- setting an initiate operation on said network on the basis of said received settings information;
- and
- providing the log concentration device which concentrates log information from a server device group connected to said network, with notification of the address included in said settings information, to cause said log concentration device to concentrate log information from the server device corresponding to said address from among said server device group.
