Hi,
yes, I believe you can indeed put all in one file. At some point I considered
writing some utility to read/write the JSON in order to reduce the risk of
errors. I guess this could be a nice open source side project. Still, that
would require handling the configuration reload (maybe via systemctl?), as the
JSON-based reservations are not updated in real time (I think). There may be
some chances using the kea-ctrl-agent API to reload the config. But I'm
currently investigating this myself, so I don't have final thoughts.
Regarding the size limit of the config file I have no knowledge, I'm afraid.
Regarding netbox, I must admit I don't know it. However, I will offer my
personal speculation: unless netbox takes the responsibility of ensuring the
integrity of the Kea DB (which sounds unlikely), I think you may still need the
task-specific official Kea hook to ensure proper handling. I mean, I've seen
pieces of code handling direct "INSERT INTO" and "SELECT FROM" SQL queries, but
they really look sketchy.
Hope this makes sense.
Best,
Nicolò.
