Getting the following message:

2020-07-03 16:58:22.354 WARN  [kea-dhcp4.alloc-engine/3131] 
ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL [hwtype=1 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff], 
cid=[aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff], tid=0xa5d749bc: failed to allocate an IPv4 address 
after 0 attempt(s)


In the documentation I see it reads:



ALLOC_ENGINE_V4_ALLOC_FAIL

%1: failed to allocate an IPv4 address after %2 attempt(s)

The DHCP allocation engine gave up trying to allocate an IPv4 address after the 
specified number of attempts. This probably means that the address pool from 
which the allocation is being attempted is either empty, or very nearly empty. 
As a result, the client will have been refused a lease. The first argument 
includes the client identification information. This message may indicate that 
your address pool is too small for the number of clients you are trying to 
service and should be expanded. Alternatively, if the you know that the number 
of concurrently active clients is less than the addresses you have available, 
you may want to consider reducing the lease lifetime. In this way, addresses 
allocated to clients that are no longer active on the network will become 
available sooner.


But the leases DB (MySQL) is empty. How can I force kea to reload / reset 
leases to start fresh?

It was working all good, until I added a few more subnets for further testing, 
then moved a client to another network/subnet and started seeing the message. 
Maybe the subnet_id's got mixed or something down that line?


Thanks again everyone!
