Subject: [kea-dev] Check kea configuration

Hello,
Is it possible to check that Kea's configuration is valid, without actually
trying to start the server ?
(if not, would it be possible to add this, perhaps with a new command line
parameter to kea-dhcp4 for instance ?)
I think of this because, from my experience, it is very easy to botch the
configuration. (For instance, a comma not removed at the end of a list. I'm
doing this quite often.)
That's not really an issue in development: you notice it fails to start, the
message displayed allows to precisely locate the issue. You just fix the
configuration, and start again.
But in production, Kea will be run on several nodes of a cluster. The server
will be restarted through the cluster.
If the configuration is incorrect, the cluster will not be happy, and it will
be more difficult to figure out what went wrong and restore a nominal cluster
situation.
So it would be really useful to be able to check a configuration, before
actually try to start or reconfigure the server with this configuration.
What do you think ?
Regards,
Nicolas.

Yes, I think it would be useful. Can you please open a ticket?

=> I support this (I believed it was already in the code until I got this
(i.e., bad config) in the performance tests)...
