State management for device-driven management workflows with active attributes

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, a device-driven management workflow from a management service, the device-driven management workflow comprising one or more tasks that direct the computing device to watch for a change in one or more active values stored in the memory on the computing device;
• evaluating, by the computing device, the device-driven management workflow to determine a first compliance status, wherein evaluating the device-driven management workflow results in running a process that watches for a change in the one or more active values;
• detecting, by the computing device, the one or more active values changing;
• and
• re-evaluating, by the computing device in response to detecting the one or more active values changing, the device-driven management workflow to determine a second compliance status.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:

• receive a device-driven management workflow from a management service, the device-driven management workflow comprising one or more tasks that direct the computing device to watch for a change in one or more active values stored in the memory on the computing device;
• evaluate the device-driven management workflow to determine a first compliance status, wherein evaluating the device-driven management workflow results in running a process that watches for a change in the one or more active values;
• detect the one or more active values changing;
• and
• re-evaluate, in response to detecting the one or more active values changing, the device-driven management workflow to determine a second compliance status.
