Is there any API to subscribe to copy-config and edit-config operations.

Perhaps it would be easier to answer your question if you can describe what you intend to do when notified of that ConfD received / is processing these RPC requests.

Hi @cohult,

We are trying to delay the responses to these RPC calls.

Hi,

When do you want to delay? Before, during or after the transaction has completed?  
Seems a bit odd, so you may want to explain why.

Hi @cohult,

I want the delay before the response is sent to southbound. We are trying to simulate a device behavior which doesn’t use confd. For that, we need to send the confd response to southbound after 120 seconds.
