摘要

A slave apparatus performs, in accordance with reception from a master apparatus a search request in accordance with a state in which a device as a monitoring target of a different apparatus has become unable to be monitored, search processing for a device as a monitoring target of the slave apparatus. When a device which has become unable to be monitored is found, the slave apparatus registers the device as a monitoring target and starts monitoring processing for the device. After starting the monitoring processing, the slave apparatus notifies the master apparatus of the registration of the device, and transmits a result of the monitoring of the device as the monitoring target to a central management apparatus.
