Yes Thanks Darren, found the issue after changing the file name it is
working fine and do you have any idea like how can we get the failover
status
In ISC DHCP failover we can see them in the lease file (communication
interrupted, recover, partner-down....etc) with the failover name
being specified but I don't see any such info in the kea-leas file

Thanks
Kraishak
