A monitoring apparatus that collects operational information from an image forming apparatus (102,103,104) of a monitoring target, and transmits it to an external management apparatus. The monitoring apparatus (101) includes an acquisition unit(506) configured to acquire functional information from an image forming apparatus that is a monitoring target, a determination unit(504) configured to determine whether the image forming apparatus is equipped with a transmission control function for performing change of a transmission destination of the operational information, and voluntarily performing transmission of the operational information to the transmission destination, based on the functional information acquired by the acquisition unit and a transmission unit configured to transmit transmission setting in which a scheme for collecting the information in response to a request from the monitoring apparatus corresponding to a type of the operational information which should be collected, or a scheme for collecting by voluntarily transmitting the information by the image forming apparatus is set, to an image forming apparatus determined as being equipped with the transmission control function by the determination unit, and setting the monitoring apparatus as a transmission destination of the operational information. |
