Description Charles Crouch 2011-05-24 13:09:13 UTC 
Tracking issue for supporting drift management. The aim here is to provide insight into what changes occur in the setup of a server instance, e.g. JBAS, and to alert the user to changes they do not expect

Basic use cases fall into two categories
a) detecting how a server instance changes over time with respect to itself (could also apply to how a group of instances change over time with respect to themselves)
b) detecting how a server instance changes over time with respect to a baseline snapshot (could also apply to how a group of instances change over time with respect to a single baseline snapshot)

Sample use cases
-User wants to be able to see how the configuration of their JBAS instance has changed overtime
-User wants to be alerted when their JBAS instance changes configuration
-User wants to be able to turn off config detection temporarily, so that they can deploy a new app to the instance without 
-User wants to be compare a JBAS instance to a specific snapshot

fix blocks/depends bz's
Comment 2 Heiko W. Rupp 2013-12-09 10:32:30 UTC 
Closing this tracking issue as drift has been implemented for quite some time - this makes no implication about dependencies
