Abstract

A remote management system includes a device management service having multiple instances that performs parallel distributed processing through the instances and a worker service having multiple instances that performs parallel distributed processing through the instances. Each instance of the device management service acquires the status of processing related to the recovery of the relevant instance from counter information, and stores the status of the processing related to the recovery of the relevant instance in the counter information when having performed the processing. Each instance of the worker service acquires the status of processing related to the recovery of an instance of the device management service from the counter information, and stores the status of the processing related to the recovery of the instance of the device management service in the counter information when having performed the processing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing system comprising:
a hardware processor executing computer instructions including
a device management service that includes two or more first instances and performs parallel distributed processing through the two or more first instances, and
a worker service that includes two or more second instances and performs parallel distributed processing through the two or more second instances; and

a processing status storage unit that stores processing status information indicating a status of processing related to a recovery of the first instances, wherein
the first instance includes a recovery processing module that performs a processing related to the recovery of the first instance itself to register the processing status information in the processing status storage unit, and
the second instance includes a monitoring module that performs a monitoring process of the processing related to the recovery performed by the recovery processing module in the first instance, on the basis of the processing status information registered in the processing status storage unit to change the processing status information stored in the processing status storage unit,
wherein the processing related to the recovery of the first instance itself includes processing for outputting a memory dump of the web server of the first instance and processing for restarting a web application inside the first instance, the recovery processing module executing the processing for outputting the memory dump, before the processing for restarting is executed, and
wherein the monitoring process of the processing related to the recovery includes a process for monitoring whether an interruption of the first instance occurs, a process for monitoring progress of a recovery process by the first instance, and a process that stores a report log in a storage table when the recovery process does not cause recovery from a failure.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the recovery processing module included in the first instance restarts an application in the first instance as processing related to a recovery of the first instance itself when it is indicated in the processing status information that a status of monitoring of a failure in the first instance by the monitoring module included in the second instance has become a specific status.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein the monitoring module included in the second instance requests a restart of the first instance when it is not indicated in the processing status information even if a specific period of time has elapsed from a restart of the application included in the first instance that the restart of the application has successfully been achieved.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the monitoring module included in the second instance performs processing to report that an autonomous recovery process was unsuccessful when it is not indicated in the processing status information even if a specific period of time has elapsed from a request for the restart of the first instance that the restart of the first instance has successfully been achieved.
