Abstract:
1. A data management apparatus to manage transmission of log data generated by a transmission terminal from the transmission terminal to a log management device, the apparatus comprising: a receiver to receive detection result data indicating whether a predetermined event is detected at the log management device; processing circuitry configured to determine whether the log data is to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device based on the detection result data to generate a determination result; a memory to store transmission approval data having the determination result generated based on the detection result data received by the receiver; and a transmitter to transmit the transmission approval data having the determination result to the transmission terminal to cause the transmission terminal to transmit the log data according to the determination result of the transmission approval data, the processing circuitry being further configured to compare the determination result of the transmission approval data stored in the memory with a new determination result of the transmission approval data that is generated based on new detection result data received by the receiver to generate a comparison result, and only when the comparison result indicates that the determination result and the new determination result are different from each other, the transmitter transmits the transmission approval data having the new determination result to the transmission terminal to cause the transmission terminal to transmit the log data according to the new determination result of the transmission approval data, the processing circuitry being further configured to determine whether the log data is to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device based on log type data indicating a type of log data subjected for transmission in addition to the detection result data to generate the determination result indicating whether the log data is to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device for each type of log data, and to generate the transmission approval data for each type of log data having the determination result, wherein the log data generated by the transmission terminal is classified into first log type data that is generated in relation to interruption in data transmission, and second log type data other than the first log type data, and the processing circuitry is further configured to generate first transmission approval data having a determination result indicating that the first log type data is to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device based on the detection result data, and second transmission approval data having a determination result indicating that the second log type data is not to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device based on the detection result data.
