[Kea-users] Logger not found in Stork

[Marcin Siodelski]

Ronald,

Kea 2.5.2 introduced an alias for output_options. When you configure the 
Kea server you can now use "output-options" or "output_options" in the 
logger configuration. However, no matter which parameter name you use in 
your configuration file, Kea will return the default (i.e., 
"output-options") when you issue a config-get commanad. Stork uses this 
command to collect Kea configurations.

Unfortunately, we neglected to update Stork to recognize the parameter 
name with a hyphen, resulting in a behavior you're seeing.

I will create a new Stork ticket to address this issue in 1.14. I don't 
see any workaround for it other than use an older Kea version that 
doesn't use the new alias.
