Abstract
Model-based configuration management and modeling identifies violations of configuration constraints. A system includes multiple components and multiple applications defined by a model of the system. A process identifies configuration settings associated with the components and configuration settings associated with the applications. A configuration policy is created for the system based on information contained in the model of the system and the configuration settings.

17. One or more computer readable media having stored thereon a plurality of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
-
identify a plurality of components in a system;
identify a plurality of applications in the system;
identify a plurality of component configuration settings;
identify a plurality of application configuration settings;
identify relationships between the plurality of components and the plurality of applications;
create a configuration policy defined by the component configuration settings, the application configuration settings, and the relationships between the plurality of components and the plurality of applications; and
monitor configuration of the components and the applications for compliance with the configuration policy. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
