System for computing system configuration file state mirroring on peer computing devices

A computer program product for computing system configuration file state mirroring on peer computing devices, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising executable code portions for:

• identifying, from a device database, a selected computing device comprising a first configuration file;
• identifying one or more peer computing devices associated with the selected computing device;
• generating a plurality of mirrored configuration files, wherein each of the plurality of mirrored configuration files comprises at least a portion of the first configuration file;
• storing the plurality of mirrored configuration files on the one or more peer computing devices;
• detecting, based on comparing the first configuration file with the plurality of mirrored configuration files, a change in the first configuration file;
• and
• based on detecting the change in the first configuration file, initiating reconstruction of the first configuration file from the plurality of mirrored configuration files;
• generating a set of baseline parameters for the first configuration file based on the plurality of mirrored configuration files, wherein initiating reconstruction of the first configuration file comprises restoring the first configuration file using the set of baseline parameters;
• detecting that one or more authorized changes have been made to the first configuration file;
• transmitting a record of the one or more authorized changes and a secret key associated with the first configuration file to the one or more peer computing devices;
• and
• based on the one or more authorized changes and the secret key, updating the plurality of mirrored configuration files on each of the one or more peer computing devices.

A computer-implemented method for computing system configuration file state mirroring on peer computing devices, wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:

• identifying, from a device database, a selected computing device comprising a first configuration file;
• identifying one or more peer computing devices associated with the selected computing device;
• generating a plurality of mirrored configuration files, wherein each of the plurality of mirrored configuration files comprises at least a portion of the first configuration file;
• storing the plurality of mirrored configuration files on the one or more peer computing devices;
• detecting, based on comparing the first configuration file with the plurality of mirrored configuration files, a change in the first configuration file;
• based on detecting the change in the first configuration file, initiating reconstruction of the first configuration file from the plurality of mirrored configuration files;
• generating a set of baseline parameters for the first configuration file based on the plurality of mirrored configuration files, wherein initiating reconstruction of the first configuration file comprises restoring the first configuration file using the set of baseline parameters;
• detecting that one or more authorized changes have been made to the first configuration file;
• transmitting a record of the one or more authorized changes and a secret key associated with the first configuration file to the one or more peer computing devices;
• based on the one or more authorized changes and the secret key, updating the plurality of mirrored configuration files on each of the one or more peer computing devices.
