A management apparatus monitors and/or controls a facility device. The management apparatus includes a setting unit, a storage unit, a determination unit, and an extraction unit. The setting unit sets association information associating identification information in order to specify a register used by the facility device with a data point regarding monitoring and/or control of the facility device. The storage unit stores history information that is association information previously set by the setting unit. The determination unit determines the use state of the register in the facility device. The extraction unit extracts the history information identical or similar to the use state of the register determined by the determination unit from the history information.
