Abstract: The system provides a technique for detecting changes in behavior of a computer system. An address data storing unit obtains an address being accessed by a CPU at prescribed sampling intervals, stores address data comprising the address and its acquisition time in an address record table in time series. Then an executed process detector detects the name of the process that was executed when the address data was obtained, and sets the process name for the address data in the address record table. When an analysis request specifying an analysis time period is made, an analyzer counts up each of the process names included in the address data being stored in the address record table for each specified analysis time period, and analyzes the breakdown of executed processes for each analysis time period. Then a display unit displays the analysis result of the analyzer.
