1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a plurality of target nodes communicatively coupled to an operator node in a network comprising: accessing, by the operator node, a first set of system attributes for a first target node of the plurality of target nodes; accessing, by the operator node, a second set of system attributes for a second target node of the plurality of target nodes, each of the second set of system attributes corresponding to a different one of the first set of system attributes; receiving, via an interface of the operator node, a request from a user of the operator node to display a differential visualization of the first set of system attributes and the second set of system attributes; generating a differential visualization of the first set of system attributes and the second set of system attributes, the differential visualization indicating for each of a first point in time and a second point in time, for each of the first set of system attributes, a variance between a value of the system attribute of the first set of system attributes and a value of the system attribute of the second set of system attributes; displaying, via a hardware display corresponding to the operator node, the generated differential visualization, the displayed differential visualization further including a slider bar with which the user can switch between the differential visualization at the first point in time and at the second point in time; receiving, at the operator node, a selection of a non-zero variance displayed within the differential visualization, the non-zero variance associated with a target system attribute of the first set of system attributes and the second set of system attributes; in response to receiving the selection, reconfiguring, by the operator node, the first target node by configuring the target system attribute of the first set of system attributes to mirror the target system attribute of the second set of system attributes; and in response to reconfiguring the first target node, updating the displayed differential visualization to indicate a change in variance associated with the target system attribute from the non-zero variance to a zero variance.
