[Kea-users] ha heartbeat error: unable to forward command to the dhcp6 service: No such file or directory. The server is likely to be offline

[Wlodek Wencel]

Hello,

thank you for using Kea :)

This is problem of communication between kea-ctrl-agent and kea-dhcp6,
two most common issues in this case are:

 - kea-dhcp6 is not running / failed to open socket

 - there is misconfiguration of sockets (configuration in kea-ctrl-agent
has to point to the socket that kea-dhcp6 is opening)

Regards
