[Kea-users] Kea 1.4.0-P1-3 kea-ctrl-agent crashing on Ubuntu 18.10

[Marcin Siodelski]

Hello Russell,

It seems that you're trying to attach the HA hooks library to the Kea
Ctrl Agent process, while it must be attached to either Kea DHCPv4 or
DHCPv6 process. See:
https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Kea_doc/guide/kea-guide.html#high-availability-library
for the details.

Regarding the example configurations. Did you see the examples in the
doc/examples/kea4/ha-load-balancing-primary.json and the
doc/examples/kea6/ha-hot-standby.json ?

Kind Regards,

Marcin Siodelski
Senior Software Engineer
