[Kea-users] Wildcard Includes in Kea configuration

[Bohnenberger, Mark]

Hi Carsten,

you can use an standard include tag, such like

"reservations": [
        <?include "/etc/kea/res01.json"?>
        ,
        <?include "/etc/kea/res02.json
	,
        <?include "/etc/kea/res03.json"?>
    ],

and put the configuration in another file. You have to decide, how much from the configuration tags you will put to an external file. For more overview, I put the main tag (reservations) to the central configuration file. It's up tou you and your architecture how much you will exlude to an external file.

Betreff: [Kea-users] Wildcard Includes in Kea configuration

Hi,

(this is a question that came up as a follow up from a Kea DHCP training from one participant)

is it possible to include multiple files into the Kea configuration using wildcards in the include statement?

This might help with a setup where the configuration file has been split into snippets managed by a configuration management tool.

I recognise that because of the nature of the Kea configuration file format (JSON) includes are very much position dependent and such a scheme can easy break in the case where the config files are manually managed, but it would help with automatic management systems (puppet, chef, ansible etc).

Would such a function be useful?

Greetings

Carsten
