USE CASE · CONFIGURATION DRIFT

Keep production aligned with intent

Detect configuration changes as they occur, distinguish approved variation from harmful drift, and reconcile the network through validated, reversible automation.

THE OPERATING CHALLENGE

Drift is not a compliance report. It is loss of operational control.

Manual fixes, incomplete rollouts, emergency changes, and device replacements gradually separate production from the design intent teams believe they are operating with. That gap increases outage, compliance, and security risk and makes every future change harder to trust.  In many enterprise networks, drift is a continuous and unseen reality that is compounded by the lack of a comprehensive intent model.

WHAT GLUWARE CHANGES

A practical path to eliminating drift

Discover and build network intent

Gluware doesn't require you to build an abstract intent model then laboriously try to connect it to reality. Instead, Gluware discovers your network and builds a working intent model for you, powered by DIAL.

Detect and understand change 

Gluware continuously compares live configuration with the expected state at the feature and policy level. Identify what changed, where it changed, and whether the difference is approved, benign, or risky.

Reconcile safely

Model desired state with Config Model Editor, create orchestrated workflows, including ServiceNow tickets, approvals, Config Model-based updates, validation, and Ops notifications, triggered by drift detection.

SUSTAINABLE AUTOMATION

Manage drift in a continuous controlled loop

Gluware offers a full drift detection and remediation loop, so you can continuously ensure the network converges to an approved state. Gluware offers validation to prove that the correction succeeded, while ensuring that you don't overwrite legitimate operational variations.

HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM COMPLIANCE

"Once everything is controlled from a single pane of glass it makes it much easier to manage the network as an entity... I am surprised at how much Config Drfit was finding and the auditing function has been extremely useful...  Since the time we had Gluware it has changed the way we do business."
