When an application failure occurs you need to trace the source of the offending event, similar to using fingerprints and DNA to track down the suspect of a crime. Meister Insight is an advanced feature of Meister, available as an option to Meister. With Meister Insight, advanced dependency discovery and reporting is provided to expose every item used to create the binary as called by the compile and link process. This information is available as a Build Audit Report or can be stored as an application "footprint".
True dependency reporting cannot rely on a versioning tool alone. Many components of the build are managed outside of the source code repository. For this reason, Meister inspects the binaries as they are being built providing the critical “trace evidence” to track a binary back to its exact origins. This level of audit information makes it easy to exceed IT compliance mandates regardless of the SCM repository your developers choose to use.
