1. A method for managing a data center, the method comprising:
receiving metadata associated with a data center component (DCC);
in response to receiving the metadata, making a first determination that the DCC is valid;
analyzing, based on the first determination, the metadata to extract relevant data;
obtaining a confidence score of a future state of the DCC based on the relevant data;
making a second determination that the confidence score exceeds a predetermined maximum confidence score, wherein the second determination indicates that the DCC is unhealthy;
receiving, based on the second determination, a notification from a vendor of the DCC, wherein the notification indicates that health of the DCC has been managed;
making, after receiving the notification and after intercepting a request from a client, a third determination that the request is valid;
making, based on the third determination, a fourth determination that a user access level of a user of the client is greater than a predetermined user access level;
sending, based on the fourth determination, the request to the DCC;
verifying, after intercepting a response to the request, that the response satisfies an attribution rule specified in a configuration parameter and the response is targeted to the client;
initiating, based on the verification, transmission of the response to the client; and
notifying a second user of the data center about the transmission using a graphical user interface (GUI) of the data center.
