Abstract

Example methods are provided for configuration tracking in a virtualized computing environment. One example method may comprise detecting a configuration request to configure a physical component, or a virtual component, of a host; identifying a particular interface via which the configuration request is initiated by a client device; and identifying one or more attributes associated with the configuration request. The particular interface may be one of multiple interfaces supported by the host or the management entity, or both. The method may also comprise generating configuration history information specifying the particular interface and the one or more attributes associated with the configuration request.
