Abstract

A network device includes circuitry configured to: generate log information; acquire a status notification from a device that records the log information, the status notification being designated by the device; change a processing mode of the log information, based on the acquired status notification; and transmit, to the device, based on the changed processing mode, the generated log information.

Claims (24)

1. A network device, comprising:

circuitry configured to

generate log information;

receive a status notification from an image processing device that receives and stores the generated log information, the status notification being designated by the image processing device;

determine, based on the received status notification, a new processing mode;

change a processing mode of the log information to the determined new processing mode; and

transmit, to the image processing device and based on the changed processing mode, the generated log information; and

a network device memory to store the generated log information.

2. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a detail level of the log information or change an amount of the log information to be transmitted, based on the status notification from the image processing device.

3. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the status notification is a notification indicating a change in a security level or a notification indicating a change in a log level.

4. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a transmission frequency of transmitting the log information to the image processing device, based on the received status notification.

5. The network device of claim 1 , wherein when a low transmission frequency of the log information is set, the circuitry is further configured to transmit the log information to the image processing device when a remaining amount of a memory area in the network device memory in which the log information is to be stored becomes less than or equal to a predetermined remaining amount.

6. The network device of claim 1 , wherein when a high transmission frequency of the log information is set, the circuitry is further configured to stop transmission of the log information to the image processing device during a time period when predetermined data is being transmitted.

7. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to stop transmission of the log information to the image processing device, in response to reception of a log-information transmission stop notification from the image processing device.

8. A network communication system, comprising:

the network device of claim 1 ; and

the image processing device, which receives and stores the generated log information transmitted from the network device.

9. The network device of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a transmission frequency of transmitting the log information to the image processing device, based on receiving a notification indicating a change in a security level set by the image processing device.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to perform a method comprising:

generating log information;

receiving a status notification from an image processing device that receives and stores the generated log information, the status notification being designated by the image processing device;

determining, based on the received status notification, a new processing mode;

changing a processing mode of the log information to the determined new processing mode; and

transmitting, to the image processing device, based on the changed processing mode, the generated log information.
