Abstract
According to an example, with respect to hash based device configuration management, a device configuration status and a device configuration hash value associated with a configuration file for a device may be ascertained. Based on a determination that the device configuration hash value matches an application configuration hash value, an application configuration status for the device may be modified to correspond to the device configuration status. If there is no match, a determination may be made as to whether the device has permission to locally modify the configuration for the device, and if not, a configuration file may be sent to the device to modify the configuration for the device. If the device has permission, the configuration file that is associated with the device configuration hash value may be requested, and a configuration record associated with the device may be updated based on the requested configuration file.
