1. A method for dynamically configuring a switched digital video (SDV) system comprising: configuring an SDV server to generate logs, wherein the logs comprise program information, stream information and client information; configuring a listener processor to: monitor the logs generated by the SDV server; generate state data indicative of a desired state of the SDV system; generate state data indicative of an actual state of the SDV system; compare the desired state data to the actual state data; determine whether the actual state data in view of the desired state data are indicative of an aberrant state of the SDV system; determine a remedial action to change the operation of the SDV system when the actual state data are indicative of an aberrant state of the SDV system; and configure the SDV server to implement the remedial action.
