Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for managing status of state machines in a computing network. Various embodiments of the present technology can be used to track and maintain an active log associated with each state machine in a computing network. The active log of a state machine can be periodically analyzed at a predetermined time interval to determine an anticipated state of the state machine and a current state of the state machine. In response to determining that the state machine is in an inconsistent state (i.e., the anticipated state does not match the current state of the state machine), a suitable action can be taken to switch the current state of the state machine from the inconsistent state to a suitable new state.
