Abstract

According to one embodiment, a monitoring system that monitors a data process using log information includes a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry converts a piece of data under a predetermined rule. The second circuitry, when the piece of data is converted by the first circuitry, generates first log information that contains start node identification information, end node identification information and a process executing time point. The start node identification information contains information to identify a piece of data before the conversion. The end node identification information contains information to identify a piece of data after the conversion. The process executing time point is a time point at which the piece of data is converted.
