1. A method comprising:

  • only in response to a user indicating that a first configuration change is to be made to a first network resource and not to a second resource, determining before the first configuration change is made to the first network resource and not to the second resource, a first performance metric of only the second network resource of a network prior to the first configuration change, such that the first performance metric is not determined until the user has indicated that the first configuration change is to be made, and determining, after the first configuration change has been made and then after purposefully waiting for a length of time, a second performance metric of only the second network resource subsequent to the first configuration change of the first network resource;

    comparing the second performance metric to at least one of a service objective and the first performance metric to yield comparison results; and

    based on the comparison results, performing one of;

    maintaining the first configuration change of the first network resource;

    causing a second configuration change of the first network resource,wherein the first configuration change does not result in complete failure or fault of the second network resource, wherein the second network resource is not a subject of the first configuration change,wherein the comparison results indicate whether the second network resource has been adversely affected as a result of the first configuration change to just the first network resource,wherein the first network resource is part of a different device than the second network resource,and wherein determining the first performance metric responsive to the user indicating that the first configuration change is to be made and determining the second performance metric subsequent to the first configuration change permits determination of whether the second network resource has been adversely affected as a result of the first configuration change.
