Abstract
A monitoring apparatus manages a device that is a management target to be monitored, based on a list obtained from a management system. The apparatus periodically obtains from the target device, a state of registration of the device to the management system, the state being managed by the device. The apparatus specifies the target device as an unmatched device in a case where the state of registration obtained from the device indicates that the device is not registered, and instructs the unmatched device to transmit, to an authorization service, a request to register the unmatched device to the management system. The apparatus manages whether the state of registration of the unmatched device has changed to indicate that the device is registered after the instruction to transmit the request has been given.
