Abstract

The present disclosure describes an approach of obtaining dialing test information configured by a user, where the dialing test information includes an identifier of a source instance and an identifier of a destination instance. The source instance is run on a first platform, the destination instance is run on a second platform, and the first platform and the second platform belong to different vendors. A dialing test task is generated based on the dialing test information, where the dialing test task indicates the source instance to send dialing test data to the destination instance. The dialing test task is run, and dialing test result data is obtained from the first platform and the second platform. In this way, according to the technical solutions provided in embodiments of this application, a tenant can perform unified operation and maintenance on multiple platforms in a data center network.

First claim

1 . A dialing test method, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining dialing test information configured by a user that comprises an identifier of a source instance and an identifier of a destination instance, wherein the source instance is run on a first platform, the destination instance is run on a second platform, and the first platform and the second platform belong to different vendors; generating a dialing test task based on the dialing test information, wherein the dialing test task indicates the source instance to send dialing test data to the destination instance; and running the dialing test task, and obtaining dialing test result data from the first platform and the second platform.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first platform or the second platform is a private cloud platform.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a first input of the user; and delivering, based on the first input, monitoring hooks to multiple platforms of the user, wherein the multiple platforms comprise the first platform and the second platform for the monitoring hooks to perform traffic monitoring on the multiple platforms.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein
the first input carries identities; and the delivering the monitoring hooks further comprises:
obtaining, from multiple preset monitoring hooks based on the identities, the monitoring hooks corresponding to the identities; and
delivering the monitoring hooks to the multiple platforms.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein
the first input comprises a monitoring policy indicative of a manner of monitoring data by the monitoring hooks; and the delivering the monitoring hooks further comprises:
delivering, according to the monitoring policy, the monitoring hooks to the multiple platforms of the user, wherein
the monitoring policy comprises at least performing a traffic packet capture.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the monitoring hooks comprise an identifier of the dialing test data for the monitoring hooks to monitor the dialing test data based on the identifier of the dialing test data.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
summarizing the dialing test result data to obtain address information of an instance on a traffic path between the instances and fault information of the instance.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying the address information and the fault information of the instance to perform operation and maintenance on the instance based on the address information and the fault information of the instance.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the dialing test information further comprises the identifier of the dialing test data; and the obtaining the dialing test result data from the first platform and the second platform comprises:
obtaining, from the first platform and the second platform, data that carries the identifier, and generating the dialing test result data.

10 . A dialing test apparatus, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
obtain dialing test information configured by a user that comprises an identifier of a source instance and an identifier of a destination instance, wherein the source instance is run on a first platform, the destination instance is run on a second platform, and the first platform and the second platform belong to different vendors;
generate a dialing test task based on the dialing test information, wherein the dialing test task indicates the source instance to send dialing test data to the destination instance; and
run the dialing test task and obtain dialing test result data from the first platform and the second platform.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein at least one of the first platform or the second platform is a private cloud platform.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further to:
receive a first input of the user; and deliver, based on the first input, monitoring hooks to multiple platforms of the user, wherein the multiple platforms comprise the first platform and the second platform for the monitoring hooks to perform traffic monitoring on the multiple platforms.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein
the first input carries identities; and the processor is further to:
obtain, from multiple preset monitoring hooks based on the identities, the monitoring hooks corresponding to the identities; and
deliver the monitoring hooks to the multiple platforms.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein
the first input comprises a monitoring policy indicative of a manner of monitoring data by the monitoring hooks; and the processor is further to deliver, according to the monitoring policy, the monitoring hooks to the multiple platforms of the user, wherein the monitoring policy comprises at least performing a traffic packet capture.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the monitoring hooks comprise an identifier of the dialing test data for the monitoring hooks to monitor the dialing test data based on the identifier of the dialing test data.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further to:
summarize the dialing test result data to obtain address information of an instance on a traffic path between the instances and fault information of the instance.

17 . The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further to:
display the address information and the fault information of the instance to perform operation and maintenance on the instance based on the address information and the fault information of the instance.

18 . The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
the dialing test information further comprises the identifier of the dialing test data; and the processor is further to:
obtain, from the first platform and the second platform, data that carries the identifier, and generate the dialing test result data.

19 . A dialing test system, comprising:
a first platform; a second platform; and a control platform, the control platform comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
obtain dialing test information configured by a user that comprises an identifier of a source instance and an identifier of a destination instance, wherein the source instance is run on the first platform, the destination instance is run on the second platform, and the first platform and the second platform belong to different vendors;
generate a dialing test task based on the dialing test information, wherein the dialing test task indicates the source instance to send dialing test data to the destination instance; and
run the dialing test task and obtaining dialing test result data from the first platform and the second platform.

20 . The dialing test system according to claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first platform or the second platform is a private cloud platform.
