Config sync conflict in 11.4

Here's a problem we've been having since upgrading to 11.4. From the web interface, I'll sync the primary to the standby and all is good; the config sync status is green. A few minutes (or even seconds sometimes) the status changes to Red, and the sync summary says 'There is a possible change conflict....'

 

When I compare the files, there are a ton of changes under 'analytics gui-widget' and one or two under asm. None under LTM. I know that no one has logged into the secondary, and the conflicts I see in the bigip.conf file don't look user-generated anyway.

 

Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour? I did try searching the site and askf5.com, but couldn't find anything. Maybe my search criteria was just too generic? Cheers, Kevin

    i would open a support ticket to get it sorted out for sure. my experience with the sync is that it improved but still has issues, even with 11.4.0

    I've opened a support ticket and they've pointed to a memory leak in mcpd: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/800/sol14824.html. Not sure it's really related to config sync, but we had a core causing a failover this morning, so will probably be upgrading to HF4 soon.
