A monitoring computer has storage for storing a monitoring path which associates a monitoring-source computer, which is to be an origin of monitoring, with at least one computer that is to be both a monitoring-target and a monitoring-source for each group comprising a plurality of computers. In addition, the monitoring computer, if there is an instruction which includes specification information for a group, refers to the monitoring paths in the storage and distributes the monitoring path that is related to the group to each computer belonging to the group as specified by the specification information. Furthermore, the monitoring computer requests monitoring-source computers, which are origins of monitoring upon the monitoring paths, to perform monitoring of other computers in accordance with the monitoring paths. |
