A monitoring control apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one memory; and at least one processor. When executing a program stored in the at least one memory, the processor causes the apparatus to operate as a saving unit saving a capturing order of devices for each capturing unit; a holding unit holding, for each job, a state of a device used in the job; and a control unit specifying a target device in accordance with the capturing order and capture the specified target device with the capturing unit. The control unit specifies a target device as a next capturing target in accordance with the capturing order and if there is no job in which a state of the specified target device is a waiting state, specifies a next device as a target device in accordance with the capturing order.
