Hi,

(this is a question that came up as a follow up from a Kea DHCP training from 
one participant)

is it possible to include multiple files into the Kea configuration using 
wildcards in the include statement?

This might help with a setup where the configuration file has been split into 
snippets managed by a configuration management tool.

I recognise that because of the nature of the Kea configuration file format 
(JSON) includes are very much position dependent and such a scheme can easy 
break in the case where the config files are manually managed, but it would 
help with automatic management systems (puppet, chef, ansible etc).

Would such a function be useful?

Greetings

I don't know if an automation will produce different files with "unpredicable" names that would have to be included into KEA with a wildcard option. I think that files names from an automation are predicable and can be just like that included into KEA.


For testing I wrote an automation with ansible that takes the information from netbox and generates the includes files for KEA. See: https://blog.sys4.de/netbox-kea-dhcp-en.html




Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
