Operating system monitoring setting information generator apparatus and operating system monitoring apparatus

An operating system monitoring apparatus which performs monitoring of a monitoring target software program on an operating system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a monitoring unit, implemented by the processor, configured to perform the monitoring by use of monitoring setting information included in a monitoring setting information file generated by an operating system monitoring setting information generator apparatus, the monitoring setting information file including version information and binding information indicating a correspondence with the monitoring target software program, wherein the version information is information indicating a version of the monitoring setting information file, and the binding information is information indicating a correlation of the monitoring setting information file and the monitoring target software program;
• an update testing unit configured to determine, before the monitoring target software program is updated, whether or not the monitoring setting information file can be updated;
• a monitoring setting information update unit configured to update the monitoring setting information file when it is determined that the monitoring setting information file can be updated, and
• a recovery unit configured to perform a recovery process for the monitoring setting information file when the updating of the monitoring setting information file has failed a predetermined number of times or more,
• wherein the monitoring setting information includes a hash value of the monitoring target software program, an address at which the monitoring target software program is stored and a size of the monitoring target software program.
