Abstract: For each setting-file, an apparatus obtains, from first action-records, an occurrence-count value that is associated with the each first action-record and indicates a number of occurrences of a setting-item name identifying each setting-item for the each setting-file, in association with a sequence number assigned to the each first action-record, where each first action-record records an action that is taken in response to a first-incident. When there exists a first setting-file for which an occurrence-pattern generated based on a sequence of occurrence-count values that are each associated with different one of the sequence numbers assigned to the first action-records is similar to a model pattern that is in advance obtained from second action-records for second-incidents occurring due to a setting error of a setting-value that is set to the first setting file, the apparatus stores the first setting-file in association with an identifier identifying the first-incident.
