Abstract

A monitoring device ( 100 ) includes an acquisition unit ( 121 ), a first creation unit ( 122 ), a second creation unit ( 125 ), and an identification unit ( 126 ). The acquisition unit ( 121 ) acquires terminal accommodation information, configuration information, and information regarding terminals. The first creation unit ( 122 ) creates information on paths used for communication of the terminals and information on a terminal group in communication sections of the terminals on the basis of the terminal accommodation information and configuration information acquired by the acquisition unit ( 121 ). The second creation unit ( 125 ) creates information on a change in each terminal on the basis of the information regarding the terminals acquired by the acquisition unit ( 121 ). The identification unit ( 126 ) identifies an abnormal communication section on the basis of the information on the paths used for communication of the terminals and the information on the terminal group in the communication sections of the terminals, created by the first creation unit ( 122 ), and the information on a change in each terminal, created by the second creation unit ( 125 ).

Claims (27)

1 . A monitoring device comprising a processor configured to execute operations comprising:

acquiring terminal accommodation information, configuration information, and terminal information of a terminal;

creating path information on paths used for communication of the terminal and terminal group information on a terminal group in communication sections of the terminal on the basis of the terminal accommodation information and the configuration information;

creating change information on a change in the terminal on the basis of the terminal information of the terminal; and

identifying an abnormal communication section on the basis of the path information, the terminal group information, and the change information.

2 . The monitoring device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

learning a state of the terminal on the basis of the terminal information; and

detecting a changes of the learnt state of the terminal,

wherein the creating the change information further comprises creating the change information of the terminal on the basis of the detected change of the state of the terminal.

3 . The monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein

the learning further comprises learning normal states of terminal on the basis of the terminal information, and

the detecting further comprises detecting a change from the learnt normal states of the terminal.

4 . The monitoring device according to claim 3 , wherein the detecting further comprises detecting a change toward an abnormality as a change with respect to a learned normal state of the terminal.

5 . A method of monitoring, comprising:

acquiring terminal accommodation information, configuration information, and terminal information regarding a terminal;

creating path information on paths used for communication of the terminal and terminal group information on a terminal group in communication sections of the terminal on the basis of the terminal accommodation information and the configuration information;

creating change information on a change in the terminal on the basis of the terminal information of the terminal; and

identifying an abnormal communication section on the basis of the path information, the terminal group information, and the change information.

6 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute operations comprising:

acquiring terminal accommodation information, configuration information, and terminal information regarding a terminal;

creating path information on paths used for communication of the terminal and terminal group information on a terminal group in communication sections of the terminal on the basis of the terminal accommodation information and the configuration information;

creating change information on a change in the terminal on the basis of the terminal information of the terminal; and

identifying an abnormal communication section on the basis of the path information, the terminal group information, and the change information.

7 . The monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication sections comprise an optical fiber.

8 . The monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the abnormal communication section comprises an optical fiber.

9 . The monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the identifying the abnormal communication section further comprises detecting an optical fiber breakage in the abnormal communication section without using an optical time domain reflectometer.

10 . The monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the identifying the abnormal communication section further comprises identifying a communication section of the communication sections as the abnormal communication section when the change information indicates no change.
