1. A method in a computer system for identifying a configuration parameter that is likely causing a component of a computing device to exhibit an undesired behavior, the method comprising: collecting suspect values for suspect configuration parameters of the component; providing sample values for the suspect configuration parameters for the components, the sample values being retrieved from other computing devices having the component; and comparing the suspect values with the sample values to identify a suspect configuration parameter whose suspect value is likely to be causing the component of the computing device to exhibit the undesired behavior.
