MONITORING ERROR NOTIFICATION FUNCTION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring error notification function comprising:
- an information processing apparatus including;
a plurality of components for executing processes;
a first processor including error notification function for generating error information indicative of an error occurred at least one component in the information processing apparatus so as to notify the error occurred at at least one component;
a first communication unit for sending the error information; and
a management server including;
a second communication unit for receiving the error information from the information processing apparatus;
a second processor for monitoring the error notification function in the system in accordance with a process including;
instructing the information processing apparatus to generate a pseudo error command for urging the information processing apparatus to generate pseudo error information so as to check the operation of the error notification function in the system; and
wherein the second processor in the management server determines whether the error notification function in the system is operating properly or not by checking receipt of pseudo error information from the information processing apparatus.

2. A method for monitoring error notification function in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
executing processes in the information processing apparatus including a plurality of components; generating error information indicative of an error occurred at least one component in the information processing apparatus so as to notify the error occurred at least one component by using a first processor in the information processing apparatus; sending the error information by using a first communication unit in the information processing apparatus; receiving the error information from the information processing apparatus by using a second communication unit in a management server; instructing the information processing apparatus to generate a pseudo error command for urging the information processing apparatus to generate pseudo error information so as to check the operation of the error notification function in the system by using a second processor in the management server; determining whether the error notification function in the system is operating properly or not by checking receipt of pseudo error information from the information processing apparatus by using the second processor in the management server.
