US Patent 11588694 Low-overhead real-time configuration drift detection

A management controller may monitor an information handling system to detect an event associated with a change to a configuration setting by subscribing with an internal event bus to receive the event associated with the change in the configuration setting, and evaluate whether there is a discrepancy between a current configuration setting of the information handling system and a baseline configuration setting. If a configuration drift exists based on the discrepancy, then the configuration drift may be sent to a management console.
