Monitoring system performance changes based on configuration modification

摘要

At least one agent is deployed to one or more nodes of a network. At least one message is received from the agent, and at least one configuration change is determined from the message. Next, a record comprising one or more parameters of the configuration change is generated and stored in a database.

1. A method comprising:
deploying an agent to a node of a network, the node hosting at least one virtual machine; receiving, at an administration console, a configuration message from the agent via the network, the configuration message specifying a current configuration of the node, the current configuration comprising current configuration parameters of the virtual machine; determining, by a processing device of the administration console, a configuration change of the node from the current configuration specified in the configuration message; generating a configuration change record comprising at least one configuration parameter of the virtual machine in the configuration change; storing the configuration change record; and generating a visualization of the configuration change on a display using the configuration change record, the visualization comprising a timeline and an indication of the timing of the configuration change on the timeline to assist in determining whether a performance change of the virtual machine has resulted from the configuration change.
