Description

METHOD OF AN WEB CONTENTS, COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING THE SAME, AND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE PERFORMING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to web content monitoring, and more particularly, to a web content monitoring method for monitoring an error of web content provided to a client, a computer-readable recording medium having the same, and a web content monitoring system for performing the same. It is about.

In general, an error page on the Internet is a network error that is frequently experienced during web surfing, and means that the client is notified of a state of not displaying desired information on the client's Internet browser.

In general, error pages on the web range from 400 to 500 code numbers, which are the most frequent error pages for clients using the Internet.

Code 400 is a problem when an Internet browser (for example, Explorer or Netscape, etc.) tries to read a web document (HTML, etc.) from a web server. 500 is a web server program (NCSA, HTTPD, This is a problem when Netsite, PHP, etc.) try to display the requested web document. For example, <Bad request 400> is the most common error that occurs when a client incorrectly enters an Internet address (URL) value. <Unauthorized 401> indicates that a message sent by the Internet browser is sent from the server. This message appears when denied. <Forbidden 403> appears when an unauthorized client attempts to access the page. <Not found 404> is the most common message, similar to the 400 error page. The requested page no longer exists or is an invalid web address (URL).

In addition, <Internal Error 500> appears when the web server is unable to service the requested web document due to an internal program problem. <Not implemented 501> indicates, for example, that some form of web page It appears when the server does not yet support this function when you write and click the <Send> button.

In addition, <Service temporarily overloaded> 502> occurs when the client's connection (request) is excessive to the server, and <Gateway timeout 503> is used for server, network, and client PCs. This usually happens when the connection timeout occurs due to a problem, or when the connection is broken while connecting to the web server.

As such, numerous error pages still occur during Internet access. According to the June 2001 report by Compet.com (http://www.compete.com), a foreign website exposure report, code number 404 error out of the total number of access pages of Microsoft's 'MSN-Microsoft Sites' Unique Visitors accounted for 4% of all visits to a particular site from home or work, which is equivalent to 5 million monthly visits to Microsoft. That's a million error pages.

In general, clients who encounter these error pages are sorry or sighed about where the information or document they're looking for have disappeared, click the Back button to go back and forget the previous page, or use whatever means they can. I try to find it, but this is also not easy.

Therefore, in the case of a paid site operated mainly for a member who pays a certain amount of goods, a specialized search site, or an Internet shopping mall operated mainly for a customer who is targeted for payment of goods, the client cannot access an error page or obtain desired information. There is a problem that can cause a fatal adverse effect on the reliability of the Internet site.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a web content monitoring method for early detecting whether an error occurs in a plurality of web contents.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable recording medium incorporating the program of the above-described web content monitoring method.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a web content monitoring system for performing the above web content monitoring method.

In the above description, one web content monitoring unit (or web content program) is provided for each web server, and the web contents provided by the web server can be normally provided to the client, or an error message is provided while providing an error message. It has been described about monitoring whether it can be provided to the client side.

However, as shown in FIG. 4 below, one web content monitoring unit (or web content program) is provided for each of the plurality of web servers, so that the web contents provided by the plurality of web servers can be normally provided to the client side. It may be possible to monitor whether it can be abnormally provided to the client side while providing an error message or the like.

4 is a view for explaining a web content monitoring system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the web content monitoring system according to another embodiment of the present invention accesses an Internet site via the Internet, requests a web content, and receives a web content according to its response. A plurality of webs having a web server 212, ... 222 and a web server manager device 214, ..., 224 for providing a home page or a web page, web content in response to the access of the client unit 50; A web server that monitors whether the web content provided by the server operating unit 200 and the web server operating unit 200 can be normally provided to the client side, and provides the monitored result information to the web server operating unit 200. It includes a content monitoring unit 120. Compared with FIG. 1, the detailed description of the web content monitoring unit is substantially similar to that described with reference to FIG. 1 except that the web content monitoring unit is not provided separately from the web server operating unit.

However, the web content monitoring unit 120 of FIG. 1 monitors web contents provided by one web server, but the web content monitoring unit 300 of FIG. 4 includes a plurality of web servers 212, Monitoring for web content provided at 222 is different. Of course, the monitoring order of the web content may monitor the web content in any web server by the operator's selection of the web content monitoring unit 300 and then monitor the web content of another web server. Regardless of the web server, a method of monitoring web content defined by a certain category may be taken.

In addition, the administrator device 214, ..., 224 of the web server providing the web content is informed of a result value for the web content in which the occurrence of an error is detected during the monitoring process or after the monitoring is terminated. It will be obvious.

5A and 5B are flowcharts illustrating a web content monitoring method according to the present invention. 6A to 6E are images for explaining the operation of the web content monitoring program according to the present invention. In particular, FIG. 6A is an initial screen of the web content program according to the present invention, FIG. 6B is an environment setting screen, and FIG. 6C is 6D shows a content registration screen, FIG. 6E shows an execution and error message, respectively.

First, as shown in FIG. 5A, it is checked whether the web content monitoring program is activated (step S100), and when it is checked that the web content monitoring program is activated, an initial screen such as a frame of the screen shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. In addition to the display, it is checked whether there is already registered content (step S105).

If there is no content previously registered in step S105, the content is registered as shown in FIG. 5B (step S110). Specifically, it is checked whether the environment of the program is set (step S111). If it is checked that the environment is not set, it is checked whether or not to input the end key (step S112). The content monitoring program ends, and if not, the process returns to step S111.

If it is checked in step S111 that the program is configured as an environment, a screen for setting an environment having an alarm option bookmark and a configuration bookmark as shown in FIG. 6B is displayed (step S113). In the displayed screen, it is checked whether or not the alarm option bookmark is set (step S114), and when it is checked that the alarm option bookmark is set, an alarm option described by an operator is set (step S115).

When it is checked that the alarm option is not set in step S114 and after the alarm setting of the step S115, it is checked whether or not the monitoring period set in the configuration bookmark is set (step S116), and when it is checked as the monitoring period setting. In Fig. 6B, a window as shown in Fig. 6B is displayed to set the selected monitoring period as the monitoring period is selected by the operator (step S117). FIG. 6B illustrates monitoring of web content every 10 minutes.

If it is checked in step S116 that the monitoring period is not set, and after setting the monitoring period of step S117, it is checked whether or not to set the target host included in the configuration bookmark (step S118), and the target host setting is checked. In the case of setting the target host (step S119), the process returns to step S115, and if the target host is not set, the process returns to step S115. That is, as shown in FIG. 6B, the target host is set by the operator directly inputting the URL of the target host to be monitored.

5A, if there is already registered content in step S105, the corresponding content is displayed (step S115). In detail, as shown in FIG. 6A, previously registered contents as a predetermined tree structure are displayed in an area defined as a selection window on the left side of the screen. In operation, the operator can monitor through various virtual directories in the selection window displayed. In detail, the entire content that is called the parent directory may be activated to monitor all registered contents, and the block that is called the self-directory may be activated to monitor the contents included in the self-directory. Although not shown, the contents may be monitored for contents included in the hand-directory, which may be a subdirectory of the self-directory.

Subsequently, it is checked by the operator whether the content to be monitored is selected (step S120), and if it is checked in step S120 that the content is selected, the content selected by the operator is displayed on the right side of the screen as shown in FIG. 6C. After registering in an area that defines a query, status, description, response time, size, and the like, it is checked whether or not a monitoring execution command is input by an operator's operation ( Step S125).

If it is checked in step S125 that the monitoring execution command is input, the corresponding content is requested to the web server through the Internet using URLs corresponding to the contents (step S130). In this case, the content request is preferably requested sequentially from the top of the plurality of URLs displayed on the right screen of FIG. 6C. Of course, the request order of the contents can be sufficiently changed through the operator's operation by the GUI such as the content statistics setting display window shown in Fig. 6D.

As the content is provided from the web server in response to the request of the content, it is checked whether or not an error exists in the content (step S135), and if it is checked that an error exists, the corresponding error information is stored (step S140). Information such as a status code, response time, size, etc. can be obtained by the content provided from the web server. If the content can be obtained normally, the 200 status code can be received, so that the corresponding description can be matched, and the response time can be calculated using the time information from the start time of the request to the end time of receiving the complete content. Can be.

After storing the corresponding error information, and if it is checked in step S135 that no error exists, the corresponding result information, that is, result information of normal or result information of error is displayed (step S145).

Subsequently, it is checked whether there is residual content (step S150), and if it is checked that the residual content exists, it is fed back to the step S130, and if the residual content is not present, monitoring of the corresponding web content Upon completion of the operation, an alarm message is provided to the web server administrator (step S155).

That is, as shown in FIG. 6E, the corresponding URL, the 200 code, which is the normal status code, a description thereof, and a response time are displayed up to the corresponding URL. In response to the information, a corresponding URL, a code such as 404, which is a status code indicating the type of error, a description thereof, and a response time are displayed. For example, among the WWW error messages, there are 'DNS error', 'no response', '403,404 error', etc. The 404 indicates that the HTTP server does not meet the request-URI of the UA. Error code to send when not found. The above 404 error may occur when the web server itself is not abnormal but the document or data is not present, or it may occur when the client inputs the wrong URL. May occur even if it is not present or moved, so it is a factor that lowers the credibility of the home page on the client side.

On the other hand, since a separate error message window is displayed in response to the result information of the error, the operator side can check a plurality of error information at a glance, and thus measures may be taken to solve the error. Of course, the sound corresponding to the error may be output together with the display of the error message window.

As described above, it is possible to monitor whether or not various web contents provided by the web server can be normally provided to the client side, so that the error is exposed to the client side by taking a follow-up action corresponding to the error message on the web server administrator side. The probability of occurrence of a message can be reduced. In particular, as the number and frequency of web surfing used by netizens increase exponentially due to the rapid development of internet communication technology, not only the site providing various free web contents but also the member management of sites providing paid web contents. Can improve the quality of the client's Internet experience service.

In addition, even if the web content is deleted or the link information is removed by hacking an arbitrary site with malicious intent, the web server administrator can first check the web server, so that follow-up by hacking can be performed more quickly.

Although described above with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can be variously modified and changed within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below. I can understand.

As described above, according to the present invention, web content can be monitored in real time without providing a load to the web server.

In addition, all contents provided by the web server can be managed in a virtual directory format such as a parent directory, a child directory, and a hand directory.

In addition, the link status of various web pages can be checked through a monitoring process, and the resulting information can be alerted to the administrator at regular intervals or in real time, thereby minimizing the occurrence of web content errors of the web server.

In addition, a single program can centrally monitor a plurality of web contents managed by a web server or a plurality of web contents managed by a web server, thereby improving the work environment of the administrator of the web server. .

In addition, since it provides a convenient GUI environment for easy recognition of the user, it is easy to learn the monitoring process of the web content, so that the monitoring operation can be performed even without a separate computing career.
