MANAGEMENT SERVER AND MANAGEMENT METHOD EMPLOYING SAME

A problem to be addressed by the present invention is to extract a process event relating to an operation, and to identify a parameter which is associated with the process event. Provided is a management server, which comprises an input device (1626), an output device (1626), a processing device, and a storage device (117a-c), and which manages operations which are executed by process events, using information processing system resources. With this server, the input device (1626) acquires one or more instances of log data which the information processing system has generated. The storage device (117a-c) stores event detection information which defines correspondences between event type detection keys, which are text strings in the log data, and process event types, and parameter detection information which defines correspondences between the process event types and rules for extracting parameters which are associated with resources, said rules being text strings in the log data. The processing device carries out a process event ascertainment process of identifying the occurrence and type of a process event, by searching for matches between instances in the log data and the event type detection keys, and a parameter extraction process of, using the extraction rules, extracting the parameters from the log data, in correspondence with the type of process event which has been identified by the process event ascertainment process. The processing device stores in the storage device (117a-c) process event management information in which the extracted parameters are associated with the process event types. Figure 2
