Monitoring program, monitoring device, and monitoring method

Abstract

To inform a user of information gathered from equipment without delay.SOLUTION: Based upon respective previously measured information response times of a plurality of pieces of equipment, second equipment which completes information response within an information response time of first equipment among the plurality of pieces of equipment is extracted from the plurality of pieces of equipment, and polling is carried out in parallel with the first equipment and second equipment to gather information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Claims

1. The processor of the monitoring device, which is connected to multiple devices via a communication channel, The information response time of each of the aforementioned multiple devices is measured in advance. Based on the measured information response time, a second device is selected from among the multiple devices that completes the information response within the information response time of the first device. Polling is performed in parallel on the aforementioned first device and the aforementioned second device to collect information. A monitoring program that executes a process.

2. The information response time includes the total time from the start of information collection to the completion of information collection for the device, and the polling time, which is the time required for polling performed during the period from the start of information collection to the completion of information collection for the device.
