Team,

Our schema is huge and has a number of configuration and state data under each entry inside the list. We use a number of grouping and nested containers inside the list.  
Approximately, around 1500 lines of config under each entry in the list ( learnt from netconf.trace ). In our set-up, currently we have around 700 entries.

Get config using, netconf-console or restconf, takes a lot of time to provide us the config.

netconf-console --user=admin --password=admin --get-config -x ‘/managed-ap/database’  
Log from netconf.log

As you can see, it almost took above a minute to fetch the config.

When I fetch a single leaf parameter inside the list, the response is faster.  
netconf-console --user=admin --password=admin --get-config -x ‘/managed-ap/database/ap\_name’  
  
 10-Aug-2017::08:29:38.274 9627d376126c confd[847]: netconf id=866 new ssh session for user “admin” from 127.0.0.1

Same problem when we try to fetch state data as well.  
netconf-console --user=admin --password=admin --db=operational --get -x ‘/managed-ap/database/oper-state-data’  
 10-Aug-2017::09:31:30.748 ba007ff505bd confd[183]: netconf id=726 new ssh session for user “admin” from 127.0.0.1

How do we evaluate the problem here? Kindly suggest.  
We are using confd 6.0.2 version.

Best regards

This might be normal, depending on how much data is being returned.

How does the CLI behave in this case when you do : “show configuration managed-ap database ap\_name”? How much time does it take?

Is this a consistent observation or intermittent?

The CLI is relatively faster but is also slow. This is a consistent observation when we have a large amount of data to be fetched.
