1. A method for providing automated diagnosis of problems for a computer network, comprising:

  • receiving input regarding a problem with the computer network;

    identifying configuration changes made to components of the computer network that are associated with parameters of the problem;

    associating each of the identified configuration changes with a rank based on a likelihood that each of the identified configuration changes caused the problem, the rank determined based on a proximity of each of the configuration changes to the problem, a difference in time between an occurrence of each of the configuration changes and an occurrence of the problem, and a security sensitivity associated with the components of the computer network; and

    verifying that the ranked configuration changes are related to the problem.
