Monitoring apparatus, control method, and storage medium

A control method for a monitoring apparatus capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus which stores job logs which are history information of jobs, the control method comprising:

• calculating a number of job logs to be acquired from the image forming apparatus;
• transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, a first request to which the job logs to be acquired from the image forming apparatus are set as an acquisition target;
• receiving one or more job logs from the image forming apparatus in response to the first request;
• storing, if a number of the job logs received in response to the first request coincides with the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, the received job logs in a storage;
• transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, a second request for acquiring, one at a time, the job logs as the acquisition target, if a number of the one or more job logs received in response to the first request is smaller than the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, wherein the second request is repeatedly transmitted up to the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, each time a response is received from the image forming apparatus;
• and
• storing one or more job logs in the storage received from the image forming apparatus in response to the second requests.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a control method for a monitoring apparatus capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus which stores job logs which are history information of jobs, the control method comprising:

• calculating a number of job logs to be acquired from the image forming apparatus;
• transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, a first request to which the job logs to be acquired from the image forming apparatus are set as an acquisition target;
• receiving one or more job logs from the image forming apparatus in response to the first request;
• storing, if a number of the job logs received in response to the first request coincides with the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, the received job logs in a storage;
• transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, a second request for acquiring, one at a time, the job logs as the acquisition target, if a number of the one or more job logs received in response to the first request is smaller than the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, wherein the second request is repeatedly transmitted up to the number of the job logs as the acquisition target, each time a response is received from the image forming apparatus;
• and storing one or more job logs in the storage received from the image forming apparatus in response to the second requests.
