Abstract
A monitored device in a monitoring system sends a notification indicating device ID of a real computer and a real-MAC address thereof in advance to a monitoring device. The monitored device determines the real-MAC address corresponding to the computer in advance on the basis of the real-MAC address and an IP address of the computer and, when a failure occurs in any of the computers, also sends a notification indicating failure information including the virtual-MAC address and the IP address to the monitoring device. The monitoring device in the monitoring system obtains the real-MAC address on the basis of the IP address and the virtual-MAC address in the failure information, groups the failure information on the basis of the obtained real-MAC address, correlates the grouped failure information with the device ID, and outputs the correlated ID.
