Process "tsconfd"?!?

 

Anyone know what il the process "tsconfd"?

 

I often find entries with string "tsconfd policy update" in the policy log and I would like to better understand what is it and what it does.

 

 

- is for an automatic signature update?

 

- is for a sync of ASM pair?

    The dcc process forwards policy updates to bd through the bd_agent, and handles bd events received from the bd_agent.

     

     

    The dcc process also contains the tsconfd thread, which subscribes to mcpd messages that process the resultant BIG-IP ASM configuration updates.
