Configuration Drift Analysis Tool
About this Page
This page talks about Configuration Drift Analysis tool, a powerful comparison tool that allows you to analyze your Jira and Assets configurations between two different backup snapshots. It provides a detailed, item-by-item report of all changes.
What is the Use Case?
Use this to identify "configuration drift," which are unintended changes that have occurred over time. It's perfect for comparing your production site against a "golden" baseline snapshot or for comparing a staging site to production to ensure consistency.
This is the main dashboard for running a drift analysis. You must select two snapshots (a "source" and a "destination") to compare.
