Abstract
A method for determining a misconfiguration of components in an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure includes decomposing one or more components into sub parts, creating one or more synthetic objects, each synthetic object being associated with a sub part of a respective component, and including the components and the synthetic objects in a model of the IT infrastructure. The method further determines a relationship between a first component and a first synthetic object based on attributes of the first component and attributes of the first synthetic object, includes the determined relationship in the model of the IT infrastructure, and loads a graph of the IT infrastructure in a graph database with the first component and the synthetic object as nodes and the determined relationship as an edge in the graph. The method further determines the misconfiguration of components in the IT infrastructure by identifying components having improper relationships in the graph.
