Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory that stores log information on a process serving as a monitoring target and performed in past, a generating unit that generates, by using the log information, periodicity information that identifies a time period within which the process is periodically executed, and a notifying unit that, if the process has not been executed within the time period as scheduled in accordance with the periodicity information generated by the generating unit, notifies that the process has not been executed.

Claims (22)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a memory that stores log information recording a periodical occurrence of a process to be monitored in the past; and

a processor configured to:

generate, by using the log in periodicity information that identifies a time period within which the process occurred periodically in the past by performing a statistical process on the log information stored on the memory, wherein in accordance with time and date information in the log information stored on the memory with the time and date information being on time and date on which each process has been executed, the processor generates the periodicity information by identifying a combination of at least one or more pieces of information on a time hand within which the process is to be executed, a date on which the process is to be executed, a day of week on which the process is to be executed, and an execution count of processes to be executed within the time period; and

if the process has not been executed within the time period as identified in accordance with the periodicity information, notifies that the process has not been executed.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein if the process has been executed outside the time period identified by the periodicity information, the processor notifies that the process has been executed outside the time period.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor generates the periodicity information by performing a statistical process on the log information stored on the memory.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein in accordance with time and date information in the log information stored on the memory, the time and date information being on time and date on which each process has been executed, the processor generates the periodicity information by identifying a combination of at least one or more pieces of information on a time band within which the process is to be executed, a date on which the process is to be executed, a day of week on which the process is to be executed, and an execution count of processes to be executed within the time period.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the process is a flow process throughout which a plurality of operations are sequentially performed in accordance with a predetermined sequential order.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the process is a flow process throughout which a plurality of operations are sequentially performed in accordance with a predetermined sequential order.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor generates the periodicity information for each of the operations forming the flow process.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the process is a flow process throughout which a plurality of operations are sequentially performed in accordance with a predetermined sequential order.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor generates the periodicity information for each of the operations forming the flow process.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor updates the periodicity information every predetermined time period in accordance with the log information stored on the memory.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the process is a flow process throughout which a plurality of operations are sequentially performed in accordance with a predetermined sequential order.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor generates the periodicity information for each of the operations forming the flow process.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor updates the periodicity information every predetermined time period in accordance with the log information stored on the memory.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein if the process has not been executed until an end of the time period identified by the periodicity information, the processor notifies that the process has not been executed.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

storing log information recording a periodical occurrence of a process to be monitored in the past;

generating, by using the log information, periodicity information that identifies a time period within which the process occurred periodically in the past by performing a statistical process on the log information,

in accordance with time and date information in the log information with the time and date information being on time and date on which each process has been executed, generating the periodicity information by identifying a combination of at least one or more pieces of information on a time band within which the process is to be executed, a date on which the process is to be executed, a day of week on which the process is to be executed, and an execution count of processes to be executed within the time period; and

if the process has not been executed within the time period as identified in accordance with the periodicity information, notifying that the process has not been executed.
