DCFirst Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating management of a data processing environment on a system comprising one or more processors, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by the one or more processors, a plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes of the data processing environment;
detecting, by the one or more processors, one or more changes of one or more elements of the plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes; and
performing, by the one or more processors, one or more actions in response to detecting the one or more changes, the one or more actions including a reconciliation response;
wherein the reconciliation response comprises;
creating, by the one or more processors, in digital form, a first memorialization file comprising at least one indication of at least one of the one or more changes;
comparing, by the one or more processors, the first memorialization file to a second memorialization file comprising at least one indication of one or more changes that were known by a change agent;
determining, by the one or more processors, based at least in part on the comparison, that one or more changes indicated in the first memorialization file that were known by the change agent are intended changes; and
determining, by the one or more processors, based at least in part on the comparison, that one or more changes indicated in the first memorialization file that were not known by the change agent are unintended changes.

Abstract
A method for facilitating management of a data processing environment is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method may include facilitating homogeneous monitoring of a plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes of the data processing environment, the homogeneous monitoring including facilitating detecting one or more changes of one or more elements of the plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes. In various embodiments, the method may further include facilitating performing one or more actions in response to detecting the one or more changes. Other embodiments of the present invention may include, but are not limited to, apparatuses and systems adapted to facilitate practice of the above-described method.

20. A system comprising:
-
a computer processor; and a storage medium coupled to the processor and having stored therein instructions, that, when executed on a computer processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising; monitoring a plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes of a data processing environment; detecting one or more changes of one or more elements of the plurality of heterogeneous data processing nodes; and performing one or more actions in response to detecting the one or more changes, including a reconciliation response; wherein the reconciliation response comprises; creating, in digital form, a first memorialization file comprising at least one indication of at least one of the one or more changes; comparing the first memorialization file to a second memorialization file comprising at least one indication of one or more changes that were known by a change agent; determining, based at least in part on the comparison, that one or more changes indicated in the first memorialization file that were known by the change agent are intended changes; and determining, based at least in part on the comparison, that one or more changes indicated in the first memorialization file that were not known by the change agent are unintended changes. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
