An management system stores information including communication state data indicating a communication state of a terminal as raw log data, and applies format processing to the raw log data to generate formatted log data before a request for obtaining communications log information of the terminal is received. When the request is received, the management system searches the formatted log data to obtain formatted log data that matches the request.

Apparatus, system, and method of processing log data, and recording medium storing log data processing program

A communications system includes communications terminals connected to a management server. The management server includes a terminal manager managing data center identification information-acquiring identification information items for acquiring identification information items of data centers available to a predetermined one of the communications terminals in association with the identification information items of the data centers, a service manager managing services available to the predetermined communications terminal in association with the identification information items of the data centers, and an access authorization verification processor managing access to the services, based on the identification information items of the data centers available to the predetermined communications terminal in association with the data center identification information-acquiring identification information items, and the identification information items of the data centers in association with the services available to the predetermined communications terminal when an inquiry about the services available is received from the predetermined communications terminal.

Communications system, management server, and communications method

A transmission management system, in response to receiving a registration request for registering a candidate counterpart terminal in a candidate list of a first transmission terminal, determines whether a target of the registration request is a second transmission terminal or a group. The management system transmits, to the second transmission terminal, an approval request for requesting whether to approve registering the second transmission terminal as a candidate counterpart terminal in the candidate list of the first transmission terminal, when the target of the registration request is determined to be the second transmission terminal. The management system transmits, to an administrator terminal operated by an administrator of the group, an approval request for requesting whether to approve registering all transmission terminals in the group as candidate counterpart terminals in the candidate list of the first transmission terminal, when the target of the registration request is determined to be the group.
