Cause tracking system, cause tracking method, and storage medium

A cause tracking method comprising:

• detecting a new event that has occurred in a management target area;
• calculating a degree of association between the new event and events detected in the past and recorded in a recording unit;
• linking the new event with information on a past event in which the degree of association with the new event is equal to or higher than a threshold value among past events recorded in the recording unit, and causing the recording unit to record the new event as the past event;
• and
• reading out a designated event among the past events recorded in the recording unit and other past events associated with the designated event from the recording unit, and outputting the designated event and the other past events.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a cause tracking program that causes a computer to execute processes comprising:

• detecting a new event that has occurred in a management target area;
• calculating a degree of association between the new event and events detected in the past and recorded in a recording unit;
• linking the new event with information on a past event in which the degree of association with the new event is equal to or higher than a threshold value among past events recorded in the recording unit, and causing the recording unit to record the new event as the past event;
• and
• reading out a designated event among the past events recorded in the recording unit and other past events associated with the designated event from the recording unit, and outputting the designated event and the other past events.
