Information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory that stores a log related to an operation performed on a device that is a monitoring target;
• and
• a processor that, if a fault occurs in the monitoring device in response to an operation performed by an operator, instructs the memory to increase an amount of memory of the log stored on the memory to an amount of memory more than an amount of memory prior to an occurrence of the fault, and if the fault reoccurs in the monitoring target device in response to the operation, instructs the memory to reduce the amount of memory of the log stored on the memory to an amount of memory smaller than the amount of memory prior to the occurrence of the fault.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• memory means for storing a log related to an operation performed on a device that is a monitoring target;
• and
• instruction means for, if a fault occurs in the monitoring target device in response to an operation performed by an operator, giving an instruction to the memory means to change an amount of memory of the log stored on the memory means from a first amount of memory to a second amount of memory different from the first amount of memory, and if the fault re-occurs in response to the operation subsequent to the instruction, instructing the memory means to change the amount of memory of the log from the second amount of memory back to the first amount of memory, wherein the second amount of memory is larger in amount of logs than the first amount of memory.
