A system management apparatus includes a storing unit that stores structured identification information indicating physical and logical inclusion relations of configuration elements which configure a system by a tree structure, and correlation information indicating information on a correlation between the configuration elements, and a control unit that manages a range relating to a failure which is generated in the system, based on the structured identification information and the correlation information, in which the control unit designates a subset of the structured identification information as a predetermined management range in the structured identification information, and transmits failure information which is generated in the system to a terminal that displays the management range, in a case where the structured identification information indicating the failure information which is generated in the system corresponds to the subset of the structured identification information which is designated as a management range.
