Claim:
1. A processing method comprising: collecting processing information indicating a response time of an application achieved by a plurality of processing elements and operational information indicating respective operational states of the processing elements that are identified on the basis of configuration information stored in a storage unit; calculating a correlation function between the response time and an operational state of each of the processing elements on the basis of the processing information and the operational information when a delay of a process of the application is detected on the basis of the processing information, the correlation function ranging between −1 and 1; determining that an operational state of a processing element of the plurality of processing elements has a correlation with the response time when the calculated correlation function indicates a positive correlation larger than a first given value, or when the calculated correlation function indicates a negative correlation less than a second given value; and extracting, from among the processing elements, a processing element of which the operational state has the correlation with the response time based on the determining.
