US Patent 10575445 Monitoring apparatus, monitoring method, and program

A monitoring apparatus includes a measured temperature acquiring unit configured to acquire, from a non-contact temperature sensor, a measured temperature on the surface of a rack housing an information and communication technology device; and an output section configured to output an alarm related to the temperature of the rack on the basis of the measured temperature acquired by the measured temperature acquiring unit. The output section does not output the alarm for a predetermined time period when the amount of change in measured temperature exceeds a threshold.
