1. A method for determining a predicted health of a set of components of a computer system that would result from an application of a proposed intervention to the computer system, comprising:

  • providing information that represents the proposed intervention to a prediction program implemented by a computer, wherein the information comprises a component identification that represents a component of the computer system to the prediction program and at least one of a set of operational commands that represent operations of the computer system to the prediction program;

    the computer determining a set of modifications involved in the proposed intervention, each modification involving one or more of the components of the computer system;

    for each modification, the computer obtaining a set of component information that pertains to the modification from a knowledge base, each set of component information specifying a set of inter-dependencies among the components involved in the modification;

    for each modification, the computer predicting a health of the computer system based on whether the inter-dependencies specified in the component information are satisfied.
