Abstract
To reduce the burden of labor relating to setting and changing management items in an environment where a plurality of management tools are used. In one specific embodiment, management tools 1332 control management targets 1331 on the basis of retained management definition information (management items) 1333. A user I/F unit 1131 displays operations management information 36 and selects an editing class and management items of the management tools 1332 by an instruction of a user, and an editing instruction unit 1134 sends the editing class and the management items to an editing execution unit 1334 and conducts editing of the management items. A status monitoring unit 1335 monitors status, a change detection unit 1135 detects a status change and notifies the editing instruction unit 1134, and the editing instruction unit 1134 receives this notification and instructs editing processing with respect to management items relating to the management targets 1331.
