Summary:Temporally classifying and visually representing network and IT infrastructure with planned or occurred configuration activities and/or policy compliance or non-compliance of network and IT resources, including a method, apparatus and computer program for gathering and classifying observable configuration aspects of resources and relationships in a network of resources, wherein the method comprises: analyzing the network of resources to collect planned configuration times and actual resource status; monitoring actual resource status to make determinations if planned configurations are executed; and updating a network configuration status with the determinations. Planned and actual configurations are collected and monitored over a defined time range extending before and/or after a time zero. Each planned or actual configuration is categorized with respect to one or more time windows in the defined time range.
