[Kea-users] Use of include statement doesn't seem to work (OPEN)

[Weisteen Per]

Hi

Just wondered if there were an known issues with using include.
Anyway, the systemctl status indicates that the include file can't be opened even if it's in the same directory as kea-dhcp4.conf.

2023-03-15 14:09:10.651 INFO  [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4/2496351.139923366162432] DHCP4_STARTING Kea DHCPv4 server version 2.0.3 (stable) starting
2023-03-15 14:09:10.652 ERROR [kea-dhcp4.dhcp4/2496351.139923366162432] DHCP4_CONFIG_LOAD_FAIL configuration error using file: /etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf, reason: Can't open include file ha-def.conf

Changing the include statement to use absolute path solved the problem.

Unfortunately 'fails' isn't something people can help troubleshoot... When this happens, grab the output of 'systemctl status kea-dhcp4-server' and 'journalctl -eu kea-dhcp4-server' to see why it failed.

For example, the include files may not be readable by the user specified in the service unit file, but are readable by root, and your config test/manual starts are being done as root. Without the journal output it's just guessing to figure out what is happening.
