IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, LOG INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND LOG INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD

An image processing apparatus includes a controller capable of generating occurrence of an event to be audited, as log information; a storage that stores the log information; an outputter that reads and outputs the log information stored in the storage in response to an acquisition request for the log information by an information processing apparatus; and an adder that adds, to the log information, identification information indicating that the log information has been stored in the information processing apparatus. The controller stores the log information added with the identification information in the storage. In a case where a storage amount of the log information stored in the storage has reached an upper limit when newly storing log information generated in association with occurrence of the event, the controller deletes the log information added with the identification information from the storage, and stores the generated log information.
