IPsec VPN Initiator

Hello,

I have Hub and Spoke Site to Site topology (both manged by same central management)
I am trying to understand, why always only the spokes initates of tunnel creation?

I never saw that HUB was the initator.

I assume your Spokes have dynamic IPs (DAIP) and your HUB has a static IP. So only the Spoke know who to contact at which IP thus you never see the HUB initiating the VPN.
