Image forming apparatus with unit determining whether operation information is transmitted to log storage server

摘要

A CPU of an image forming apparatus acquires a transmission instruction for a log, destination information on a WebDAV server, authentication information, and the like from a management server in accordance with a schedule set by the management server, determines whether or not special log information is to be transmitted to the WebDAV server in accordance with a link speed with respect to the WebDAV server, and notifies the management server of an error when it is determined that the special log information is not to be transmitted. Further, when it is determined that the special log information is to be transmitted, the CPU transmits the special log information to the WebDAV server by using the destination information and the authentication information.
