Abstract
Drift is automatically detected in configuration of services running in a management appliance of a software-defined data center. A method of automatically detecting drift includes: in response to a notification of a change in a configuration of a first service enabled for proactive drift detection, transmitting a first request to compute drift in the configuration of the first service to a plug-in of the first service, the first request including the change in the configuration of the first service; periodically, at designated time intervals, transmitting a second request to compute drift in the configuration of a second service enabled for passive drift detection, to the plug-in of the second service, the second request including a current state of the configuration of the second service; and notifying a desired state management service of the computed drift in the configuration of the first and second services.
