ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for tracking and reporting changes to configuration files as part of an overall system auditing function and as a measure of efficiency of change review board procedures. Changes in configuration of network devices made by submitters of such changes are recorded in a separate repository and, at appropriate intervals, forwarded to network administrators and subject matter experts both to verify the correctness of the literal change and to confirm that the changes have been previously approved.
