A system monitoring statuses such as presence and absence of abnormality and lifetime of a machine component such as, for example, a bearing having rolling elements, includes: a plurality of determining units respectively connected with a plurality of sensors, and a control unit connected with the determining units. Each sensor is disposed on the machine component of the associated rolling bearing to detect an influence signal resulting from passage of the rolling element induced in the machine component. Each determining unit determines, according a process set-up condition, the presence and absence of an abnormality and lifetime of the machine component associated with the sensor in reference to an output signal from the sensors. The control unit collects a result of determination performed by each determining unit. In this way, with a simplified structure, monitoring can be achieved at a low cost, precisely and efficiently.
