Hi Lawrence,

First, what version of Kea are you using?
Does the log directory exist? I am not sure if kea will create the directory, as well as the file.
Finally, make sure to start the service as root or using sudo.

Hi,

I am starting just the dhcp4 server with the following command:

keactrl start -s dhcp4

I get a corresponding message to say it is starting:

INFO/keactrl: Starting /opt/kea/sbin/kea-dhcp4 -c /opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf

However, it doesn’t start as the status output shows:

keactrl status
DHCPv4 server: inactive
DHCPv6 server: inactive
DHCP DDNS: inactive
Control Agent: inactive
Kea DHCPv4 configuration file: /opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf
Kea DHCPv6 configuration file: /opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-dhcp6.conf
Kea DHCP DDNS configuration file: /opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-dhcp-ddns.conf
Kea Control Agent configuration file: /opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-ctrl-agent.conf
keactrl configuration file: /opt/kea/etc/kea/keactrl.conf


I get no log output either so have no idea what is going on – logging config below:

"loggers": [
    {
        // This section affects kea-dhcp4, which is the base logger for DHCPv4
        // component. It tells DHCPv4 server to write all log messages (on
        // severity INFO or more) to a file.
        "name": "kea-dhcp4",
        "output_options": [
            {
                "output": "/opt/kea/var/log/kea-dhcp4.log"
                // This governs whether the log output is flushed to disk after
                // every write.
                // "flush": false,
                // This specifies the maximum size of the file before it is
                // rotated. File size is set to 10MB (10240000)
                "maxsize": 10240000,
                // This specifies the maximum number of rotated files to keep.
                "maxver": 8
            }
        ],
