Monitoring program, monitoring apparatus, and monitoring method

A computer-readable, non-transitory medium storing a monitoring program for causing a computer to execute predetermined processes, the computer configured to access a storage device storing hierarchical structure information in which a hierarchical structure from processes in a device in a highest level to processes in terminal devices is represented by a connection relationship between devices forming a network and processes executed in the devices, the predetermined processes comprising:

• receiving, by a reception process, abnormal observation data from within the network;
• detecting, by a detection process, a sender device that transmitted the abnormal observation data received in the reception process and an issuing process that issued the abnormal observation data;
• referencing, by a specifying process, the hierarchical structure information to specify an associated process associated with the issuing process in accordance with a type of the sender device detected in the detection process;
• determining, by a determination process, a failure occurrence point based on a state of the associated process specified in the specifying process;
• and
• notifying, by a notification process, the failure occurrence point determined in the determination process.
