1. A method for identifying and resolving stray assets, the method comprising: configuring and monitoring a set of operational characteristics of a plurality of environment assets of a computing environment, wherein the operational characteristics comprise values of various attributes that are specific to a type of environment asset or the conditions that the environment asset is operating under, wherein environment assets comprise dynamically defined configuration items (CIs) of an configuration management (CM) system used to perform activities of the computing environment; configuring a set of suspect rules comprising a set of suspect asset characteristics specific to the type of environment asset, wherein the suspect asset characteristics comprise a set of conditional operational characteristics that define acceptable or abnormal operating states of the environment asset, wherein a suspect asset comprises an environment asset whose functionality is potentially stray, wherein suspect assets are a subset of environment assets; configuring a set of stray rules comprising a set of stray asset characteristics specific to the type of environment asset, wherein the stray asset characteristics comprise a set of relationships that take into account the number of suspect asset detections, time parameters, or the operating context of the environment asset, wherein the stray asset characteristics are indicative of an environment asset of that type having a likelihood of being a stray asset, wherein a stray asset comprises an unreturned environment asset that is left in an enabled or active state when an intended lifespan of the environment asset has ended and is consuming resources of the computing environment yet is not needed by active processes of the computing environment and is unneeded by other active environment assets, wherein stray assets are a subset of suspect assets, and wherein the stray rules further comprise one or more predefined resolution actions for handling stray assets, wherein the stray rules further dictate which resolution actions are to be taken; detecting at least one environment asset of a computing environment as being a stray asset, the detecting comprising: utilizing the set of suspect rules to compare the set of suspect asset characteristics specific to the type of environment asset against the set of operational characteristics of the environment asset being monitored in order to determine whether each environment asset is to be considered a suspect asset or a standard asset, and utilizing the set of stray rules to compare the set of stray asset characteristics specific to the type of environment asset against the set of operational characteristics of the environment asset being monitored in order to determine whether each suspect asset is to be considered a stray asset or a standard asset; and performing at least one predefined resolution action for each detected stray asset, wherein said resolution action is selected from a group of actions, said selected one from the group of actions being an alert action which sends a message to an administrator about the stray asset, a containment action that isolates the stray asset from the computing environment, or a delete action to remove the stray asset from the computing environment and free related computing resources, wherein said at least one resolution action is selected based on a determined probability that the environment asset is actually a stray asset.
