| 摘要 |
A method for auditing and reconciliation of a network with a network model that includes identifying an audit state for each network resource included in the network model, storing the audit state for each resource, coupling the stored audit state information with information regarding the resource, reporting a calculated value reflecting the aggregate audit states of the resources, monitoring the calculated value, and triggering a reconciliation process when the calculated value drops below a defined threshold. The calculated value can be a best-case aggregate accuracy percentage, worst-case aggregate accuracy percentage, or presumed average aggregate accuracy percentage. The audit state can be stored as an additional field in the primary data store for the network model or in a separate data store that is associated with the primary data store. The audit state can be unconfirmed, confirmed, or suspect. The audit state is used to trigger and/or measure audit and reconciliation processes.
