Abstract
A monitoring apparatus is capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus which stores job logs. A first request is made for acquiring job logs from the image forming apparatus and, if a predetermined condition is satisfied, a second request is made for acquiring, one at a time from the image forming apparatus, the job logs which are acquisition targets of the first request. The second request is not made if the number of job logs acquired by the first request coincides with the number of job logs which are acquisition targets of the first request. The second request is made for acquiring the job logs one at a time which are acquisition targets of the first request if the number of job logs acquired by the first request is smaller than the number of job logs which are acquisition targets of the first request.
