Restrict issuing default value to daemon

CDB and CDB API
1

Hi,
I subscribe (two-phase type) a leaf that has default value, and I only want to receive notification when the leaf is explicitly configured by end user.
I have tried CONFD_DAEMON_FLAG_NO_DEFAULT, but it does not work. It seems that this flag only works on confd_init_daemon, confd_connect, so cannot be used in the two-phase subscribe case, in which the other set of APIs - confd_init, cdb_connect, cdb_subscribe2 are used.
Is there a way I can use to make ConfD send notification to the subscriber only when its subscribed leaf is explicitly set? In other words, if the subscribed node has default value, I want the ConfD would not trigger notification to the subscriber if this node is not explicitly set.

What mechanism are you using to read the changes from CDB? Are the leaves that have default values inside or outside of a list?

With cdb_diff_iterate, you will always get default values of leaves in a list in your subscription notification when a list instance is getting created. The rationale being that the default values don’t have to be known to your instrumentation code ahead of time and will be communicated during the notification process. One of the mechanisms that I’m aware of that won’t send you default values as part of the notification is cdb_get_modifications_cli( ).
