First, a management agent is selected in the management agent system 10 (200), and the management object decoding function unit 101 receives information on sub instances of the management agent selected in the management agent system 10. Collect and process at 210. Here, the common management information protocol based data type of the primary sub-object of the management agent processed by the management object decoding function unit 101 is converted into a string or a number and stored in the relational database 102, and the browser 12 )

Next, the browser 12 processes a command input by the user (220) and outputs it to the browser 12 again.

3 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an information collection and processing subroutine for the primary sub-object of the selected management agent of FIG. 2. First, the management agent primary part selected in the management agent system 10 is described. The relevant information is acquired from the relational database 102 based on the key value of the item of the entity (211), and Distinguished Name (DN) information is generated from the obtained information (212).

Next, the common information management protocol M_GET is performed by using the identification name and the range of the selected item as 1 (213), and the management object decoding function unit 101 outputs the result of performing the M_GET. After decoded in the relational database 102 and stored in the relational database 102 (214), the management object decoding function 101 outputs the decoded information to the browser 12 (215).
