## Abstract

A network management apparatus performs a first acquisition process, a generation process, and a second acquisition process. The first acquisition process is processing that acquires server information capable of identifying a target physical server for acquiring a log among physical servers that constitute a virtualized environment of a network. The generation process is processing that generates, based on the server information, a program that corresponds to the target physical server for acquiring the log and acquires the log of the target physical server. The second acquisition process is processing that executes the program and acquires the log of the target physical server for acquiring the log.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A network management apparatus, comprising one or more processors, at least one of the one or more processors being configured to perform:
a first acquisition process for acquiring server information capable of identifying a target physical server for acquiring a log among physical servers that constitute a virtualized environment of a network;
a generation process for generating, based on the server information, a program that corresponds to the target physical server for acquiring the log and acquires the log of the target physical server; and
a second acquisition process for executing the program and acquiring the log of the target physical server for acquiring the log.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The network management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the first acquisition process acquires, as the server information, at least one of a vendor name, a vendor ID, a model number, and a firmware version of the target physical server.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The network management apparatus according to claim 1, at least one of the one or more processors further being configured to perform:
an output process for extracting information necessary for analyzing hardware from the log and outputting the extracted information as a log for analysis.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The network management apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the log for analysis includes information on at least one of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module), a PSU (Power Supply Unit), a RAID (Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks), a disk, an MB (motherboard), a fan, and a NIC (Network Interface Card).

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The network management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the first acquisition process acquires the server information by acquiring an input file that describes the server information of the target physical server for acquiring the log.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The network management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the target physical server for acquiring the log includes at least one of a physical server that has been failing and a bare metal server of which normality needs to be confirmed.

### Claim 7

A network management method, comprising:
acquiring server information capable of identifying a target physical server for acquiring a log among physical servers that constitute a virtualized environment of a network;
generating, based on the server information, a program that corresponds to the target physical server for acquiring the log and acquires the log of the target physical server; and
executing the program and acquiring the log of the target physical server for acquiring the log.

### Claim 8

A network management system, comprising one or more processors, at least one of the one or more processors being configured to perform:
a first acquisition process for acquiring server information capable of identifying a target physical server for acquiring a log among physical servers that constitute a virtualized environment of a network;
a generation process for generating, based on the server information, a program that corresponds to the target physical server for acquiring the log and acquires the log of the target physical server; and
a second acquisition process for executing the program and acquiring the log of the target physical server for acquiring the log.
