[Kea-users] kea-lfc verbosity

[Darren Ankney]

Hi,

Unless you changed lfc-interval (see here:
https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-3.0.1/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#why-is-lease-file-cleanup-necessary),
it should only be running once per hour.  I don't think you can change
the logging verbosity.  Are you getting more than one set of these
messages per hourly email?

Thank you,
Darren Ankney
