[Kea-users] Configuration data is not updated from the database

[Mark Villadsen]

Hi 

I have a Kea 2.6.1 installation running with postgresql as backend, and I am having problems when I add a new subnet in the database or change any existing information it is never updated in the reply to the client, and if I look at the running configuration it is still using the old data.
In the service I can see the DCTL_CONFIG_FETCH every 20 sec but it does not do anything else than that, should I not expect it to also do:

DHCPSRV_CFGMGR_CONFIG4_MERGED and DHCP4_CONFIG_COMPLETE
When there is configuration changes?
This is happening if I do a service reload or run this command: 
echo '{"command": "config-reload", "service": ["dhcp4"]}' | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/kea4-ctrl-socket
After this the running configuration is updated.

I would expect this to happen automatically when there is a configuration change or am I wrong to expect that?
Do I need to add some configuration to have it update automatically whenever there is a change in the database?

My kea-dhcp4.conf file looks like this:

{
    "Dhcp4": {
        "interfaces-config": {
            "interfaces": [
                "ens224"
            ],
            "dhcp-socket-type": "udp"
        },
        "control-socket": {
            "socket-type": "unix",
            "socket-name": "/tmp/kea4-ctrl-socket"
        },
        "lease-database": {
            "type": "postgresql",
            "name": "kea",
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 5432,
            "user": "leaseUser",
            "password": "leasePW",
            "reconnect-wait-time": 3000
            "max-reconnect-tries": 3,
            "on-fail": "stop-retry-exit",
            "retry-on-startup": false,
            "connect-timeout": 3
        },
        "config-control": {
            "config-fetch-wait-time": 30,
            "config-databases": [
                {
                    "type": "postgresql",
                    "name": "kea",
                    "user": "configUser",
                    "password": "configPW",
                    "host": "127.0.0.1",
                    "port": 5432
                }
            ]
        },
        "hooks-libraries": [
            {
                "library": "/usr/lib64/kea/hooks/libdhcp_pgsql_cb.so"
            }
        ]
    }
}

I hope you can help me locate the problem why the configuration is not updating.

Best regards
