RPM Package on F5

Hello All,

 

We notice below rpmpkgs file in our LTM boxes. Based on the timestamps there seems to be rpm executed periodically. We did not manually run rpm to install any packages, why is there rpmpkgs file created ? Is there some scheduled software updates periodically and what is it updating ?

 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27568 Apr 16 04:27 rpmpkgs

 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6502 Apr 16 04:02 rpmpkgs.1.gz

    On my VE BIG-IP the rpmpkgs log only seems to get updated when booted. What's in your rpmpkgs logfile?
