created_at represents the time when the configuration has been persisted to disk.
loaded_at represents the time when the configuration has actually been used.
If created_at is larger than loaded_at, then the Core needs a reload in order
to apply the latest configuration.
if created_at is lower than laoded_at, then the Core applied the latest
configuration.
The value of updated_at is irrelevant and shouldn't be used.
