Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a method for detecting potential problems in the configuration or components of a complex system comprises comparing first configuration data for a first system with second configuration data compiled from analyzing a plurality of systems in a selected population; and reporting anomalies associated with the first system, in response to determining that the first configuration data deviates from components determined to be common to the selected population.
