<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a load of a network device more proper when monitoring a state of the network device. <P>SOLUTION: In this state monitoring system, a response history responding to requirement of state information from a client terminal is read (S200), a use rate (an ability use rate) of response ability is calculated on the basis of a transmission/reception data total amount and the response ability (a processable data amount) of a printer 20 (S210), a monitoring interval is set with a tendency wherein the interval becomes short on the basis of the ability use rate when the ability use rate is 90% or below or when an error does not occur (S240), an error rate is calculated on the basis of a requirement number and the number of errors when the ability use rate exceeds 90% and when the error occurs (S250), and the monitoring interval is set with a tendency wherein the interval becomes long on the basis of the error rate (S260). That is, because setting the monitoring interval according to the response history and the response ability, the load of the printer can be made more proper when monitoring the state of the printer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
