Abstract
A method and system for monitoring configuration information of computing devices is provided. The monitoring system generates a desired configuration monitor ('DCM') document for each computing device that is to have its configuration monitored. The DCM document specifies configuration settings to be monitored along with rules that specify how to determine whether a configuration setting is correct. Each computing device may include a comparison engine that inputs the DCM document and applies the rules of the DCM document to determine which configuration settings of the computing device are not in compliance.
