Hi,


I'm trying to have flex-id reservation based on  option 82.1. I can't force
KEA to do correct loopup in DB. I've enabled postgresql query snooping and
I don't see correct query:

Here is my setup:
..
      {
        "library": "/usr/lib/kea/hooks/libdhcp_flex_id.so",
        "parameters": {
          "identifier-expression": "substring(relay4[1].text, 0, 12)",
          "replace-client-id": true
        }
      }

"host-reservation-identifiers": [ "hw-address", "duid", "circuit-id",
"client-id", "flex-id" ],

I've added reservation via API:
{
  "command": "reservation-add",
  "arguments": {
      "operation-target":"database",
      "reservation": {
           "flex-id": "'DSNGCF232E15'"
      }
  }
}

I see it reservation in db table after adding it
SQL logging shows number of queries like this;
postgres-1  | 2025-11-20 19:56:40 UTC [361]: [59-1]
user=kea,db=keadhcp,app=[unknown],client=172.18.0.8 DETAIL:  parameters: $1

postgres-1  | 2025-11-20 19:56:40 UTC [361]: [60-1]

h.ipv4_address, h.hostname,   h.dhcp4_client_classes,
h.dhcp6_client_classes, h.user_context,   h.dhcp4_next_server,
h.dhcp4_server_hostname,   h.dhcp4_boot_file_name, h.auth_key,
o.option_id, o.code, o.value, o.formatted_value, o.space,   o.persistent,
o.cancelled, o.user_context, o.client_classes FROM hosts AS h LEFT JOIN
dhcp4_options AS o ON h.host_id = o.host_id WHERE h.dhcp4_subnet_id = $1
AND h.dhcp_identifier_type = $2   AND h.dhcp_identifier = $3 ORDER BY
h.host_id, o.option_id

$2 parameter (h.dhcp_identifier_type) is tested by lea only for 0,2,3 -
flex_id is 4..

Am I missing something else ?
