Abstract

A log management device includes one or more memories configured to store management information indicating each relationship between identification information of each virtual machine and identification information regarding each environment in which the each virtual machine operates, and one or more processor coupled to the one or memories and configured to, by referring to the management information, obtain a first log regarding a first environment operating a first virtual machine on the basis of identification information of the first virtual machine, perform generation of a second log in which specific information included in the first log is changed to a specific identifier regarding the first environment, and output the second log in response to receiving a request for a log regarding the first virtual machine.

Claims (53)

1. A log management device comprising:

one or more memories configured to store management information indicating each relationship between identification information of each virtual machine and identification information regarding each environment in which the each virtual machine operates; and

one or more processor coupled to the one or memories and configured to

by referring to the management information, obtain a first log regarding a first environment operating a first virtual machine on the basis of identification information of the first virtual machine,

perform generation of a second log in which specific information included in the first log is changed to a specific identifier regarding the first environment, and

output the second log in response to receiving a request for a log regarding the first virtual machine.

2. The log management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the identification information regarding the each environment includes at least one of an address of each hypervisor of the each virtual machine and an address of hardware related to each physical machine operating the each virtual machine.

3. The log management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific information is setting information of the first environment.

4. The log management device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the setting information includes first setting information regarding a hypervisor of the first virtual machine and second setting information regarding first hardware related to a physical machine operating the first virtual machine, and

wherein the generation includes changing the first setting information in the specific information to a first identifier of the hypervisor, and changing the second setting information in the specific information to a second identifier of the first hardware.

5. The log management device according to claim 4 , wherein

the first setting information includes at least one of an address of the hypervisor and account information used for access to the hypervisor, and

the second setting information includes at least one of an address of the hardware and account information used for access to the hardware.

6. The log management device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to generate the first log by converting a log in a first data format regarding the hypervisor and a log in a second data format regarding the first hardware into logs in a third data format.

7. The log management device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific identifier regarding the first environment includes at least one of a first identifier of a hypervisor of the first virtual machine and a second identifier of first hardware related to a physical machine operating the first virtual machine.

8. The log management device according to claim 7 , wherein

the processor is configured to

obtain the first node identifier from the hypervisor, and store the first node identifier in association with an address of the hypervisor in the one or more memories, and

obtain the second node identifier from the first hardware, and store the second node identifier in association with an address of the first hardware in the one or more memories.

9. The log management device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to transmit the specific identifier regarding the first environment to a terminal when the identification information of the first virtual machine is designated by the terminal, and

wherein the request which is received from the terminal includes the specific identifier.

10. A log management method executed by a computer, the log management method comprising:

obtaining a first log regarding a first environment operating a first virtual machine on the basis of identification information of the first virtual machine by referring to management information indicating each relationship between identification information of each virtual machine and identification information regarding each environment in which the each virtual machine operates;

generating a second log in which specific information included in the first log is changed to a specific identifier regarding the first environment; and

outputting the second log in response to receiving a request for a log regarding the first virtual machine.

11. The log management method according to claim 10 , wherein

the identification information regarding the each environment includes at least one of an address of each hypervisor of the each virtual machine and an address of hardware related to each physical machine operating the each virtual machine.

12. The log management method according to claim 10 , wherein

the specific information is setting information of the first environment.

13. The log management method according to claim 12 ,

wherein the setting information includes first setting information regarding a hypervisor of the first virtual machine and second setting information regarding first hardware related to a physical machine operating the first virtual machine, and

wherein the generating includes changing the first setting information in the specific information to a first identifier of the hypervisor, and changing the second setting information in the specific information to a second identifier of the first hardware.

14. The log management method according to claim 13 , wherein

the first setting information includes at least one of an address of the hypervisor and account information used for access to the hypervisor, and

the second setting information includes at least one of an address of the hardware and account information used for access to the hardware.

15. The log management device according to claim 13 , further comprising: generating the first log by converting a log in a first data format regarding the hypervisor and a log in a second data format regarding the first hardware into logs in a third data format.

16. The log management method according to claim 10 , wherein

the specific identifier regarding the first environment includes at least one of a first identifier of a hypervisor of the first virtual machine and a second identifier of first hardware related to a physical machine operating the first virtual machine.

17. The log management method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

obtaining the first node identifier from the hypervisor, and storing the first node identifier in association with an address of the hypervisor, and

obtaining the second node identifier from the first hardware, and storing the second node identifier in association with an address of the first hardware.

18. The log management method according to claim 10 , further comprising: transmitting the specific identifier regarding the first environment to a terminal when the identification information of the first virtual machine is designated by the terminal,

wherein the request which is received from the terminal includes the specific identifier.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing log management program instructions executable by one or more computer, the log management program instructions comprising:

one or more instructions for obtaining a first log regarding a first environment operating a first virtual machine on the basis of identification information of the first virtual machine by referring to management information indicating each relationship between identification information of each virtual machine and identification information regarding each environment in which the each virtual machine operates;

one or more instructions for generating a second log in which specific information included in the first log is changed to a specific identifier regarding the first environment; and

one or more instructions for outputting the second log in response to receiving a request for a log regarding the first virtual machine.
