Abstract
A system for drift visualization of change data of a data center is disclosed. The data center includes a plurality of configuration items. The system includes a management server in communication with the data center. The management server includes an agent configured to collect the change data from one or more of the plurality of configuration items. A change datastore in communication with the management server is provided to store the change data. A data extractor in communication with the change datastore retrieves the change data and provides a filtered subset of the change data to a display. A policy datastore enables the data extractor to filter the change data based on data center policy violations. The visualization depicts multiple dimensions of change-related data for the items in the data center in a unique and concise manner.
