Claim:
A management computer coupled to a plurality of storage apparatuses and a plurality of physical computers coupled to each of the plurality of storage apparatuses, the management computer comprising: a memory for holding monitoring priority information including monitoring priority corresponding to an event which changes a configuration and setting and occurs on a path between each of the plurality of physical computers and each of the plurality of storage apparatuses, and configuration information including information indicating at least one resource included in the path; a processor configured to refer to the monitoring priority information and the configuration information; and a network interface configured to receive performance information on each of the at least one resource from the plurality of storage apparatuses or the plurality of physical computers, the management computer being configured to: collect the performance information on the each of the at least one resource included in the path based on the monitoring priority assigned to the each of the at least one resource; identify a first path including a first resource based on the configuration information in a case where a first event has occurred on the first resource; identify a second resource included in the first path; determine whether a third resource for which the monitoring priority needs to be changed is included in the second resource based on the first event and the monitoring priority information; and change the monitoring priority assigned to the third resource in a case where the third resource is determined to be included in the second resource.
