A memory record of a knowledge management tool stores data lineage criteria. A processor of the knowledge management tool receives a request to change one or more of a configuration of a server, a code of a hosted application, and a configuration of the hosted application. The processor determines whether a misalignment is detected associated with the requested change being outside at least one of the predefined ranges of values for server configuration data and application configuration data of the data lineage criteria. If the misalignment is not detected, the requested change is allowed to be implemented in one or both of the server and the hosted application. If the misalignment is detected, an alert is provided to an administrator device. If a response to the alert indicates to implement the requested change, implementation of the requested change is allowed. Otherwise, implementation of the requested change is prevented.
