A device management apparatus (10) is capable of communicating with a plurality of devices (20A, 20B, 20C) connected thereto via a network (40). The device management apparatus (10) includes a storage unit (18) that stores therein setting items and setting values for the devices (20A, 20B, 20C); an acquiring unit (11) that acquires, from each of the devices (20A, 20B, 20C), a file describing a setting item currently set in the device (20A, 20B, 20C) and a current setting value of the setting item; a determination unit (12) that determines whether the acquired file includes a setting item not being stored in the storage unit (18); and a storage controller (13) that causes the storage unit (18), if the acquired file includes a setting item not being stored in the storage unit (18), to store therein the setting item not being stored in the storage unit (18) and a current setting value of the setting item. |
