1. A method, comprising:
generating, by a system comprising a processor, a first missing record data item that indicates a first record is not stored in a first server;
generating, by the system, a report that comprises respective missing record data items that indicate respective corresponding records are determined not to be stored in respective servers, wherein the respective missing record data items comprise the first missing record data item, wherein the respective corresponding records comprise the first record, and wherein the respective servers comprise the first server;
grouping, by the system, the respective missing record data items associated with respective configuration parameters into respective subgroups of missing record data items based on respective network functions associated with the respective missing record data items; and
classifying, by the system, the respective missing record data items with respective record classifications that indicate respective types of records associated with the respective missing record data items,
wherein the report comprises subgroup information relating to the respective subgroups and record classification information relating to the respective record classifications, wherein, in the report, information relating a configuration parameter of the respective configuration parameters is searchable or extractable, and wherein the information relating to the configuration parameter comprises a portion of the respective missing record data items, respective configuration parameter data items related to the respective configuration parameters, respective record data items, the subgroup information, or the record classification information.
