SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT DATABASE, GOVERNANCE, AND SECURITY IN A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

A Hybrid Configuration Management Database methodology is disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, components of a computing environment are automatically monitored, and have a feature selection analysis performed thereon. Provided the feature selection analysis determines that features of the components are subjectively defined, a classification of the features is performed. Provided the feature selection analysis determines that features of the components are not well defined, a similarity analysis of the features is performed. Results of the feature selection methodology are generated.
