Hello Lawrence:
Sounds like there is something wrong with the package. In addition to
reaching out the packager, you may consider downloading the source from
us, directly, and building it yourself:

Hi Jason,
Unfortunately that did not work either. I have searched through as
many forums as I can for this and can’t seem to get any closer to an
answer. I have just tried running the server directly and got the
following:
[mcbridl@im-netdhcp1 sbin]$ sudo kea-dhcp4 -c
/opt/kea/etc/kea/kea-dhcp4.conf
Segmentation fault

Hi Lawrence,
I see, you are running this with keactrl. In that case, you should be
able to do this:
sudo KEA_LOGGER_DESTINATION=/var/log/kea/dhcp4.log keactrl start -s dhcp4
I don't use centos/rhel normally, so I hope this works.

Hi Jason,
So, if I’m understanding you correctly, you suggest creating a
service for the dhcp4 server and modifying the

Hi Lawrence,
For the Debian package, I set these in the systemd service file.
If you want to have a look, I am sure you can adjust these the
same way, since CentOS uses systemd as well. Here is a link to the
kea-ctrl-agent.service
<https://salsa.debian.org/debian/isc-kea/blob/master/debian/kea-ctrl-agent.service>
file for the debian package.
This goes back to the idea I mentioned a few months ago on this
list, it would probably be better to have a variable file in
/etc/default or /etc/sysconfig (in centos). Here it would allow
users to customize the destinations easier. The service simply
sources these files to dynamically set the env variables.
Cheers,
Jason

Right,
I tried export KEA_LOGGER_DESTINATION=stdout as root and then
keactrl start -s dhcp4 but I'm still not receiving any error
messages.
Was my export the correct way to set the variable?

Thanks for that tip.
I can see the kea.log file and the lockfile are present in the
default dir you mentioned as I successfully got the
kea-ctrl-agent to work and there are messages in the file.
Where do I set the KEA_LOGGER_DESTINATION environment
variable? If I can set it stdout the I should get info on the
cli after I issue the start command.

One of the problems with logging configuration is that until
you successfully configure the server it can't really use the
log file location specified in the Kea configuration file.
Instead it will use default locations.
The following section of the Kea User's Guide:
https://jenkins.isc.org/job/Kea_doc/guide/kea-guide.html#logging-during-startup
describes how to influence where the default logging goes.
This may help you determine why the server is not starting.
The location of the default log file being used before the
server configures is prefix/var/kea/kea.log, where prefix is
where Kea server is installed.
After the server is started and configured successfully, the
logging should go to the locations specified in the Kea config
files.
