Claim Text:
1. A computer program product comprising: a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable code embodied therein, the computer-readable code executable by a processor, the computer-readable code comprising: wherein the first configuration change does not result in complete failure or fault of the second network resource, wherein explicitly and just in response to a user indicating that the first configuration change should be performed, the first computer-readable code automatically and without user interaction determines the first performance metric prior to permitting the first configuration change to be applied, wherein the first computer-readable code determines the second performance metric automatically and without user interaction subsequent to the first configuration change having been applied, wherein the second computer-readable code maintains the first configuration change without notifying the user if the comparison results do not indicate performance degradation such that where the comparison results do not indicate performance degradation the user is never notified that the first performance metric and the second performance metric have been determined and compared to one another, wherein the second computer-readable code notifies the user if the comparison results indicate degradation and indication of the second configuration change that should be applied is received from the user prior to the second configuration change being applied, wherein, the first computer-readable code is to, subsequent and responsive to, and commencing at a time of, the first configuration change of the first network resource, purposefully wait for a predetermined length of time, prior to determining the second performance metric of the second network resource, wherein the predetermined length of time is specified so as to allow the second performance metric to reflect the first configuration change that has been made to the first network resource, wherein while the predetermined length of time is purposefully waited for, no determination of any performance metric of the second network resource is made or occurs, wherein just the first performance metric and the second performance metric are determined in relation to the first configuration change of the first network resource, such that in relation to the first configuration change of the first network resource no determination of any performance metric of the first network resource is made or occurs, wherein no monitoring of the first network resource is performed, such that no performance metric of the first network resource is made or occurs, and wherein just two performance metrics of the second network resource are determined, the two performance metrics being the first performance metric and the second performance metric.
