Patent ID: 10833924

Abstract:
A data collecting apparatus (10) is connected to a device (20) via a network (31, 32), and includes a collector (142, 142), a communication controller (130), and a process execution controller (110). The collector (141, 142) collects data from the device (20) based on collection setting information, converts format of the data collected, and outputs the data whose format is converted. The communication controller (130) manages an addition of the collector (141, 142), provides the collection setting information to the collector (141, 142), and outputs data collected by the collector (141, 142). The process execution controller (110) manages processing of data outputted from the communication controller (130). The collector (141, 142) is provided as plug-in software (121, 122) containing information regarding a parameter setting item for when data is collected. The collection setting information is information in which a setting value is added with respect to the parameter setting item.
