Abstract
An apparatus for collecting attribute information of an information processing apparatus to be monitored in a system for monitoring the information processing apparatus via a network includes an attribute-information obtaining unit that regularly obtains first attribute information from the information processing apparatus to be monitored, and when obtaining the first attribute-information, collectively obtains second attribute information that was obtained subsequent to the first attribute information in past times.
Claims20
An apparatus for collecting attribute information of an information processing apparatus to be monitored in a system for monitoring the information processing apparatus via a network, the apparatus comprising:
- an attribute-information obtaining unit that regularly obtains first attribute information from the information processing apparatus to be monitored, and when obtaining the first attribute information, collectively obtains second attribute information that was obtained subsequent to the first attribute information in past times.
The apparatus according to collectively specify, wherein
- the attribute-information obtaining unit includes an attribute-information deleting unit that deletes, when there is a discrepancy between the specified attribute identifiers and attribute identifiers included in the obtained attribute information as a result of obtaining the attribute information by collectively specifying a plurality of attribute identifiers, the attribute information corresponding to the attribute identifier having the discrepancy from the attribute information stored in the attribute-information storing unit.
A method of collecting attribute information of an information processing apparatus to be monitored in a system for monitoring the information processing apparatus via a network, the method comprising:
- attribute-information obtaining including
- obtaining regularly first attribute information from the information processing apparatus to be monitored;
- and
- obtaining collectively, when obtaining the first attribute information, second attribute information that was obtained subsequent to the first attribute information in past times.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for collecting attribute information of an information processing apparatus to be monitored in a system for monitoring the information processing apparatus via a network, wherein
- the computer program causes a computer to execute attribute-information obtaining including
- obtaining regularly first attribute information from the information processing apparatus to be monitored;
- and
- obtaining collectively, when obtaining the first attribute information, second attribute information that was obtained subsequent to the first attribute information in past times.
