Abnormality detection is conducted with respect to data indicative of operating state of an apparatus, the abnormality type is then discriminated and a chec k is made as to whether the data are already recorded in association with the discriminated abnormality type in a memory region corresponding to the data, and if not, the data are recorded in association with the discriminated abnormality type there. Since, multiple recording of similar data related to transient abnormalities and other such events that are likely to occur repeatedly can be prevented, important data related to a diversity of abnormalities and failures can be efficiently recorded in the memory. Viewed from another angle, this means th at the capacity of the memory can be reduced and that a cost-reducing effect can be anticipated. In addition, data important for troubleshooting abnormalities and failures, most notably transition period data, can therefore be efficiently recorded in the memory.
