[Kea-users] Kea v3 (2.7.7) - Global options via API

[Darren Ankney]

Hello,

I believe that config-get will be the method you'll have to use to
retrieve global settings that don't have a specific api structure
(client-classes, shared-networks,subnets, and reservations all have
specific API calls, but global settings, hooks, loggers, option-def
and data, and many others do not).

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
