In this article, I will delve into some of the issues associated with vi­su­a­liz­ing the con­fig­u­ra­tions of systems.As with many other dis­ci­plines in ser­vice ma­nage­ment, the use of vi­­s­u­a­l­i­­za­­tions in con­fig­u­ra­tion ma­nage­ment can be prob­lem­atic. I hope to highlight some of these issues with a view toward: improving the func­tionality soft­ware de­ve­lop­ers build into configuration ma­nage­ment; and expand­ing how con­sumers of con­fig­u­ra­tion in­for­ma­tion make use of vi­­su­­a­l­i­­za­­tions.
