[Kea-users] kea-ctrl-agent not able to get information

[Marcin Siodelski]

Hello,

Did you try to send something like this:

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "command":
"config-get", "service": [ "dhcp4" ] }' http://ca.example.org:8000/

where "command" denotes what command to send to the server and the
"service" denotes whether the command should be forwarded to the DHCPv4
or DHCPv6 server (the server must be running). If you want to send a
command to be processed by the Control Agent (say, get CA's
configuration), the "service" argument must not be specified.

Some more information can be found here:
