An information processing apparatus includes a processor that receives a first log from a first transmission apparatus. The processor determines target log information among plural pieces of log information included in the first log. The target log information is one of first pieces of log information having an occurrence frequency higher than an occurrence frequency of other pieces of log information. The processor assigns an identifier to the target log information. The processor stores log management information indicating a correspondence among the target log information, the identifier, and a first path received together with the first log and indicating a storage location in which the first log is stored. The processor transmits the log management information to a second log transmission apparatus corresponding to the first path. The processor receives, from the second log transmission apparatus, a log in which the target log information is converted into the identifier.
