We have an external dataprovider that provides the oper data. In a high scale scenario the dataprovider is taking very long to respond back. We expected this and bumped up both /confdConfig/capi/newSessionTimeout and /confdConfig/capi/queryTimeout to 1hour by setting them to PT1H. So I expected it to timeout at exactly 1hour. But the netconf logs are showing that it is waiting for 3 hours before timing out. So I am wondering why it is waiting so much longer than what is configured? We are not concerned about the performance of the dataprovider but only concerned about the configured timeout not being used. We made sure to restart confd after the timeouts were changed.
Following are the netconf logs:
