Abstract
This is the messages manual for Kea version 1.1.0. The most up-to-date version of this document, along with other documents for Kea, can be found at http://kea.isc.org/docs.
This document lists each message that can be logged by the programs in the Kea package. Each entry in this manual is of the form:
IDENTIFICATION message-text
... where "IDENTIFICATION" is the message identification included in each message logged and "message-text" is the accompanying message text. The "message-text" may include placeholders of the form "%1", "%2" etc.; these parameters are replaced by relevant values when the message is logged.
Each entry is also accompanied by a description giving more information about the circumstances that result in the message being logged.
For information on configuring and using Kea logging, refer to the Kea Guide.
This debug message is logged when the allocation engine successfully reclaims a lease. The lease is now available for assignment.
This error message is logged when sending a removal name change request to DHCP DDNS failed. This name change request is usually generated when the lease reclamation routine acts upon expired leases. If a lease being reclaimed has a corresponding DNS entry it needs to be removed. This message indicates that removal of the DNS entry has failed. Nevertheless the lease will be reclaimed.
An error occurred during an attempt to allocate an IPv4 address, the reason for the failure being contained in the message. The server will return a message to the client refusing a lease. The first argument includes the client identification information.
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 In this way, addresses allocated to clients that are no longer active on the network will become available sooner.
This informational message indicates that the specified address was reported as duplicate (client sent DECLINE) and the server marked this address as unvailable for a period of time. This time now has elapsed and the address has been returned to the available pool. This step concludes decline recovery process.
This warning message is issued when the DHCP server finds that the address reserved for the client can't be offered because this address is currently allocated to another client. The server will try to allocate a different address to the client to use until the conflict is resolved. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is issued when the allocation engine determines that the client sending the DHCPDISCOVER has a reservation for the specified address. The allocation engine will try to offer this address to the client.
This debug message is logged when the allocation engine completes reclamation of a set of expired leases. The maximum number of leases to be reclaimed in a single pass of the lease reclamation routine is configurable using 'max-reclaim-leases' parameter. However, the number of reclaimed leases may also be limited by the timeout value, configured with 'max-reclaim-time'. The message includes the number of reclaimed leases and the total time.
This warning message is issued when the server has been unable to reclaim all expired leases in a specified number of consecutive attempts. This indicates that the value of "reclaim-timer-wait-time" may be too high. However, if this is just a short burst of leases' expirations the value does not have to be modified and the server should deal with this in subsequent reclamation attempts. If this is a result of a permanent increase of the server load, the value of "reclaim-timer-wait-time" should be decreased, or the values of "max-reclaim-leases" and "max-reclaim-time" should be increased to allow processing more leases in a single cycle. Alternatively, these values may be set to 0 to remove the limitations on the number of leases and duration. However, this may result in longer periods of server's unresponsiveness to DHCP packets, while it processes the expired leases.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine starts the reclamation of the expired leases. The maximum number of leases to be reclaimed and the timeout is included in the message. If any of these values is 0, it means "unlimited".
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine hits the timeout for performing reclamation of the expired leases. The reclamation will now be interrupted and all leases which haven't been reclaimed, because of the timeout, will be reclaimed when the next scheduled reclamation is started. The argument is the timeout value expressed in milliseconds.
This debug message is issued when the server begins reclamation of the expired DHCPv4 lease. The first argument specifies the client identification information. The second argument holds the leased IPv4 address.
This error message is logged when the allocation engine fails to reclaim an expired lease. The reason for the failure is included in the message. The error may be triggered in the lease expiration hook or while performing the operation on the lease database.
This debug message is issued when the server reclaims all expired DHCPv4 leases in the database.
This message is issued when the allocation engine determines that the client has a lease in the lease database, it doesn't have reservation for any other lease, and the leased address is not reserved for any other client. The allocation engine will try to offer the same lease to the client.
This message is issued when the allocation engine will try to offer a new lease to the client. This is the case when the client doesn't have any existing lease, it has no reservation or the existing or reserved address is leased to another client. Also, the client didn't specify a hint, or the address in the hint is in use.
This message is issued when the allocation engine will try to offer the lease specified in the hint. This situation may occur when: (a) client doesn't have any reservations, (b) client has reservation but the reserved address is leased to another client.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine begins deletion of the reclaimed leases which have expired more than a specified number of seconds ago. This operation is triggered periodically according to the "flush-reclaimed-timer-wait-time" parameter. The "hold-reclaimed-time" parameter defines a number of seconds for which the leases are stored before they are removed.
This debug message is issued when the server successfully deletes "expired-reclaimed" leases from the lease database. The number of deleted leases is included in the log message.
This error message is issued when the deletion of "expired-reclaimed" leases from the database failed. The error message is appended to the log message.
This message is issued when the allocation engine refused to allocate address requested by the client because this address is reserved for another client. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is issued when the allocation engine is trying to allocate (or reuse an expired) address which has been requested by the client. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is issued when the allocation engine determines that the client already has a lease whose lifetime can be extended, and which can be returned to the client. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is logged when the client, having a reservation for one address, is requesting a different address. The client is only allowed to do this when the reserved address is in use by another client. However, the allocation engine has determined that the reserved address is available and the client should request the reserved address.
This message is issued when the client is requesting or has a reservation for an address which is in use. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is issued when the client has requested allocation of the address which doesn't belong to any address pool from which addresses are dynamically allocated. The client also doesn't have reservation for this address. This address could only be allocated if the client had reservation for it.
This message is logged when the client hasn't specified any preferred address (the client should always do it, but Kea tries to be forgiving). The allocation engine will try to pick an available address from the dynamic pool and allocate it to the client.
This message is logged when the allocation engine removes previous lease for the client because the client has been allocated new one.
This message is issued when the client is not requesting any specific address but the allocation engine has determined that there is a reservation for this client. The allocation engine will try to allocate the reserved address.
This message is logged when the allocation engine is reusing an existing lease. The details of the updated lease are printed. The first argument includes the client identification information.
An error occurred during an attempt to allocate an IPv6 address, the reason for the failure being contained in the message. The server will return a message to the client refusing a lease. The first argument includes the client identification information.
The DHCP allocation engine gave up trying to allocate an IPv6 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.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine determines that the lease for the IPv6 address or prefix has already been allocated for the client and the client can continue using it. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is logged when the allocation engine is in the process of allocating leases for the client, it found existing leases and static reservations for the client. The allocation engine will verify if existing leases match reservations. Those leases that are reserved for other clients and those that are not reserved for the client will be removed. All leases matching the reservations will be renewed and returned.
This message is logged when the allocation engine is in the process if allocating leases for the client, there are no static reservations, but lease(s) exist for the client. The allocation engine will remove leases which are reserved for other clients, and return all remaining leases to the client.
This message is logged when the allocation engine is in the process of allocating leases for the client. It hasn't found any existing leases for this client, but the client appears to have static reservations. The allocation engine will try to allocate the reserved resources for the client.
This message is logged when the allocation engine determines that the client has no IPv6 reservations and thus the allocation engine will have to try to allocate allocating leases from the dynamic pool or stop the allocation process if none can be allocated. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine will attempt to allocate leases from the dynamic pools. This may be due to one of (a) there are no reservations for this client, (b) there are reservations for the client but they are not usable because the addresses are in use by another client or (c) we had a reserved lease but that has now been allocated to another client.
This informational message indicates that the specified address was reported as duplicate (client sent DECLINE) and the server marked this address as unvailable for a period of time. This time now has elapsed and the address has been returned to the available pool. This step concludes decline recovery process.
This message is logged when the allocation engine finds that the expired lease for the client's hint can't be reused because it is reserved for another client. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine is trying to allocate new leases for the renewing client because it was unable to renew any of the existing client's leases, e.g. because leases are reserved for another client or for any other reason.
This error message indicates that an error was experienced during Renew or Rebind processing. Additional explanation is provided with this message. Depending on its nature, manual intervention may be required to continue processing messages from this particular client; other clients will be unaffected. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine is trying to extend lifetime of the lease. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message prints detailed information about the lease which lifetime is being extended (renew or rebind). The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message prints updated information about the lease to be extended. If the lease update is successful, the information printed by this message will be stored in the database. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This message is logged when the allocation engine cannot allocate the lease using the client's hint because the lease for this hint is reserved for another client. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This informational message signals that the specified client was assigned the address reserved for it.
This informational message signals that the specified client was assigned the prefix reserved for it.
This debug message is logged when the allocation engine completes reclamation of a set of expired leases. The maximum number of leases to be reclaimed in a single pass of the lease reclamation routine is configurable using 'max-reclaim-leases' parameter. However, the number of reclaimed leases may also be limited by the timeout value, configured with 'max-reclaim-time'. The message includes the number of reclaimed leases and the total time.

This debug message is issued when the allocation engine starts the reclamation of the expired leases. The maximum number of leases to be reclaimed and the timeout is included in the message. If any of these values is 0, it means "unlimited".
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine hits the timeout for performing reclamation of the expired leases. The reclamation will now be interrupted and all leases which haven't been reclaimed, because of the timeout, will be reclaimed when the next scheduled reclamation is started. The argument is the timeout value expressed in milliseconds.
This debug message is issued when the server begins reclamation of the expired DHCPv6 lease. The reclaimed lease may either be an address lease or delegated prefix. The first argument provides the client identification information. The other arguments specify the prefix and the prefix length for the lease. The prefix length for address lease is equal to 128.
This error message is logged when the allocation engine fails to reclaim an expired lease. The reason for the failure is included in the message. The error may be triggered in the lease expiration hook or while performing the operation on the lease database.
This debug message is issued when the server reclaims all expired DHCPv6 leases in the database.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine begins deletion of the reclaimed leases which have expired more than a specified number of seconds ago. This operation is triggered periodically according to the "flush-reclaimed-timer-wait-time" parameter. The "hold-reclaimed-time" parameter defines a number of seconds for which the leases are stored before they are removed.
This debug message is issued when the server successfully deletes "expired-reclaimed" leases from the lease database. The number of deleted leases is included in the log message.
This error message is issued when the deletion of "expired-reclaimed" leases from the database failed. The error message is appended to the log message.
This debug message is issued when the allocation engine tries to allocate reserved leases for the client sending a Renew message. The server will also remove any leases that the client is trying to renew that are not reserved for the client.
This message is logged when the allocation engine finds leases for the client and will check if these leases are reserved for another client. If they are, they will not be renewed for the client requesting their renewal. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This debug message is issued as the allocation engine is trying to dynamically allocate new leases for the renewing client. This is the case when the server couldn't renew any of the existing client's leases, e.g. because leased resources are reserved for another client.
This message is logged when the allocation engine is reusing an existing lease. The details of the updated lease are printed. The first argument includes the client identification information.
This informational message is an indication that the specified IPv6 address was used by client A but it is now reserved for client B. Client A has been told to stop using it so that it can be leased to client B. This is a normal occurrence during conflict resolution, which can occur in cases such as the system administrator adding a reservation for an address that is currently in use by another client. The server will fully recover from this situation, but clients will change their addresses.
This informational message is an indication that the specified IPv6 prefix was used by client A but it is now reserved for client B. Client A has been told to stop using it so that it can be leased to client B. This is a normal occurrence during conflict resolution, which can occur in cases such as the system administrator adding a reservation for an address that is currently in use by another client. The server will fully recover from this situation, but clients will change their prefixes.
A debug message informing about installing a file descriptor as a server. The file descriptor number is noted.
A debug message informing about installing a file descriptor as a server. The file descriptor number is noted.
A debug message, this records that the upstream fetch (a query made by the resolver on behalf of its client) to the specified address has completed.
An external component has requested the halting of an upstream fetch. This is an allowed operation, and the message should only appear if debug is enabled.
The asynchronous I/O code encountered an error when trying to open a socket of the specified protocol in order to send a message to the target address. The number of the system error that caused the problem is given in the message.
The asynchronous I/O code encountered an error when trying to read data from the specified address on the given protocol. The number of the system error that caused the problem is given in the message.
An upstream fetch from the specified address timed out. This may happen for any number of reasons and is most probably a problem at the remote server or a problem on the network. The message will only appear if debug is enabled.
The asynchronous I/O code encountered an error when trying to send data to the specified address on the given protocol. The number of the system error that caused the problem is given in the message.
This is the same to ASIODNS_UDP_CLOSE_FAIL but happens on the "synchronous UDP server", mainly used for the authoritative DNS server daemon.
Accepting a TCP connection from a DNS client failed due to an error that could happen but should be rare. The reason for the error is included in the log message. The server still keeps accepting new connections, so unless it happens often it's probably okay to ignore this error. If the shown error indicates something like "too many open files", it's probably because the run time environment is too restrictive on this limitation, so consider adjusting the limit using a tool such as ulimit. If you see other types of errors too often, there may be something overlooked; please file a bug report in that case.
A TCP DNS server tried to close a TCP socket (one created on accepting a new connection or is already unused) as a step of cleaning up the corresponding listening port, but it failed to do that. This is generally an unexpected event and so is logged as an error. See also the description of ASIODNS_TCP_CLOSE_ACCEPTOR_FAIL.
A TCP DNS server tried to close a listening TCP socket (for accepting new connections) as a step of cleaning up the corresponding listening port (e.g., on server shutdown or updating port configuration), but it failed to do that. This is generally an unexpected event and so is logged as an error. See ASIODNS_TCP_CLOSE_FAIL on the implication of related system resources.
A TCP DNS server tried to close a TCP socket used to communicate with a client, but it failed to do that. While closing a socket should normally be an error-free operation, there have been known cases where this happened with a "connection reset by peer" error. This might be because of some odd client behavior, such as sending a TCP RST after establishing the connection and before the server closes the socket, but how exactly this could happen seems to be system dependent (i.e, it's not part of the standard socket API), so it's difficult to provide a general explanation. In any case, it is believed that an error on closing a socket doesn't mean leaking system resources (the kernel should clean up any internal resource related to the socket, just reporting an error detected in the close call), but, again, it seems to be system dependent. This message is logged at a debug level as it's known to happen and could be triggered by a remote node and it would be better to not be too verbose, but you might want to increase the log level and make sure there's no resource leak or other system level troubles when it's logged.
A TCP DNS server tried to close a TCP socket used to communicate with a client without returning an answer (which normally happens for zone transfer requests), but it failed to do that. See ASIODNS_TCP_CLOSE_FAIL for more details.
A TCP DNS server tried to get the address and port of a remote client on a connected socket but failed. It's expected to be rare but can still happen. See also ASIODNS_TCP_READLEN_FAIL.
A TCP DNS server tried to read a DNS message (that follows a 2-byte length field) but failed. It's expected to be rare but can still happen. See also ASIODNS_TCP_READLEN_FAIL.
A TCP DNS server tried to get the length field of a DNS message (the first 2 bytes of a new chunk of data) but failed. This is generally expected to be rare but can still happen, e.g, due to an unexpected reset of the connection. A specific reason for the failure is included in the log message.
A TCP DNS server tried to send a DNS message to a remote client but failed. It's expected to be rare but can still happen. See also ASIODNS_TCP_READLEN_FAIL.
The low-level ASIO library reported an error when trying to send a UDP packet in asynchronous UDP mode. This can be any error reported by send_to(), and can indicate problems such as too high a load on the network, or a problem in the underlying library or system. This packet is dropped and will not be sent, but service should resume normally. If you see a single occurrence of this message, it probably does not indicate any significant problem, but if it is logged often, it is probably a good idea to inspect your network traffic.
A UDP DNS server tried to close its UDP socket, but failed to do that. This is generally an unexpected event and so is logged as an error.
Receiving a UDP packet from a DNS client failed due to an error that could happen but should be very rare. The server still keeps receiving UDP packets on this socket. The reason for the error is included in the log message. This log message is basically not expected to appear at all in practice; if it does, there may be some system level failure and other system logs may have to be checked.
This is the same to ASIODNS_UDP_RECEIVE_FAIL but happens on the "synchronous UDP server", mainly used for the authoritative DNS server daemon.
The low-level ASIO library reported an error when trying to send a UDP packet in synchronous UDP mode. See ASIODNS_UDP_ASYNC_SEND_FAIL for more information.
An internal consistency check on the origin of a message from the asynchronous I/O module failed. This may indicate an internal error; please submit a bug report.
An internal error indicating that the termination method of the resolver's upstream fetch class was called with an unknown result code (which is given in the message). Please submit a bug report.
This debug message indicates that the daemon stopped supporting specified command. This command can no longer be issued. If the command socket is open and this command is issued, the daemon will not be able to process it.
This warning message indicates that the server encountered an error while processing received command. Additional information will be provided, if available. Additional log messages may provide more details.
This warning message indicates that the server encountered an error while processing received command. The difference, compared to COMMAND_PROCESS_ERROR1 is that the initial command was well formed and the error occurred during logic processing, not the command parsing. Additional information will be provided, if available. Additional log messages may provide more details.
This informational message indicates that a command was received over command socket. The nature of this command and its possible results will be logged with separate messages.
This debug message indicates that the daemon started supporting specified command. If the command socket is open, this command can now be issued.
This error message indicates that the server failed to generate response for specified command. This likely indicates a server logic error, as the server is expected to generate valid responses for all commands, even malformed ones.
This error indicates that the server detected incoming connection and executed accept system call on said socket, but this call returned an error. Additional information may be provided by the system as second parameter.
This is an informational message that the socket created for handling client's connection is closed. This usually means that the client disconnected, but may also mean a timeout.
This is an informational message that a new incoming command connection was detected and a dedicated socket was opened for that connection.
This error message indicates that the server failed to set non-blocking mode on just created socket. That socket was created for accepting specific incoming connection. Additional information may be provided as third parameter.
This debug message indicates that specified number of bytes was received over command socket identified by specified file descriptor.
This error message indicates that an error was encountered while reading from command socket.
This error message indicates that the server received a command and generated an answer for it, but that response was larger than supported 64KB. Server will attempt to send the first 64KB of the response. Depending on the nature of this response, this may indicate a software or configuration error. Future Kea versions are expected to have better support for large responses.
This informational message indicates that the daemon closed a command processing socket. This was a UNIX socket. It was opened with the file descriptor and path specified.
This informational message indicates that the daemon opened a command processing socket. This is a UNIX socket. It was opened with the file descriptor and path specified.
This debug message indicates that the specified number of bytes was sent over command socket identifier by the specified file descriptor.
This error message indicates that an error was encountered while attempting to send a response to the command socket.

This debug message is issued just before the controller attempts to establish a session with the Kea control channel.
A debug message listing the command (and possible arguments) received from the Kea control system by the controller.
This is an informational message announcing the successful processing of a new configuration. It is output during server startup, and when an updated configuration is committed by the administrator. Additional information may be provided.
This fatal error message indicates that the application attempted to load its initial configuration from file and has failed. The service will exit.
This critical error message indicates that the initial application configuration has failed. The service will start, but will not process requests until the configuration has been corrected.
A debug message indicating that the application process has received an updated configuration and has passed it to its configuration manager for parsing.
This debug message is issued when the dummy handler for configuration events is called. This only happens during initial startup.
A debug message indicating that the controller has received an updated configuration from the Kea configuration system.
This debug message is issued just before the controller attempts to create and initialize its application instance.
This error message is issued if the controller could not initialize the application and will exit.
A warning message is issued when an attempt is made to shut down the application when it is not running.
On receipt of a new configuration, the server failed to create a parser to decode the contents of the named configuration element, or the creation succeeded but the parsing actions and committal of changes failed. The reason for the failure is given in the message.
The controller has encountered a fatal error while running the application and is terminating. The reason for the failure is included in the message.
This debug message is issued just before the controller invokes the application run method.
The controller has failed to establish communication with the rest of Kea and will exit.
This is a debug message indicating that the controller is running in the application in standalone mode. This means it will not connected to the Kea message queue. Standalone mode is only useful during program development, and should not be used in a production environment.
This message is printed when DHCPv4 server enabled an interface to be used to receive DHCPv4 traffic. IPv4 socket on this interface will be opened once Interface Manager starts up procedure of opening sockets.
This is an error message that occurs when the DHCPv4 server encounters a pre-existing PID file which contains the PID of a running process. This most likely indicates an attempt to start a second instance of the server using the same configuration file. It is possible, though unlikely that the PID file is a remnant left behind by a server crash or power failure and the PID it contains refers to a process other than the server. In such an event, it would be necessary to manually remove the PID file. The first argument is the DHCPv4 process name, the second contains the PID and PID file.
This debug message is logged when the server has received a packet over the socket. When the message is logged the contents of the received packet hasn't been parsed yet. The only available information is the interface and the source and destination IPv4 addresses/ports.
The DHCPv4 server tried to receive a packet but an error occurred during this attempt. The reason for the error is included in the message.
This debug message is issued when the server starts parsing the received buffer holding the DHCPv4 message. The arguments specify the source and destination IPv4 addresses as well as the interface over which the buffer has been received.
This debug message is issued when the server enters the state when it waits for new packets. The argument specifies the timeout for the server to wait for the packet. When this time elapses the server will pass through its main loop to perform handling of any pending signals and timers. After that, it will enter the wait state again.
This debug message is issued when the server interrupts waiting for reception of the next DHCPv6 message due to timeout, signal or reception of the data over socket other than used for DHCPv4 message transmission. The server will now handle signals received and ready timers before waiting for next packets again. The argument specifies the timeout value in milliseconds.
This debug message is issued when the server was waiting for the packet, but the wait has been interrupted by the signal received by the process. The signal will be handled before the server starts waiting for next packets. The argument specifies the next signal to be handled by the server.
A debug message issued during startup after the DHCPv4 server has successfully established a session with the Kea control channel.
This debug message is issued just before the DHCPv4 server attempts to establish a session with the Kea control channel.
This debug message informs that incoming packet has been assigned to specified class or classes. This is a normal behavior and indicates successful operation. The first argument specifies the client and transaction identification information. The second argument includes all classes to which the packet has been assigned.
This debug message informs that incoming packet belongs to a class which cannot be found in the configuration. Either a hook written before the classification was added to Kea is used, or class naming is inconsistent.
This debug message is issued when the server is processing the DHCPv4 message for which client identifier will not be used when allocating new lease or renewing existing lease. The server is explicitly configured to not use client identifier to lookup existing leases for the client and will not record client identifier in the lease database. This mode of operation is useful when clients don't use stable client identifiers, e.g. multi stage booting. Note that the client identifier may be used for other operations than lease allocation, e.g. identifying host reservations for the client using client identifier. The first argument includes the client and transaction identification information. The second argument specifies the identifier of the subnet where the client is connected and for which this mode of operation is configured on the server.
This debug message includes the detailed information extracted from the Client FQDN option sent in the query. The first argument includes the client and transaction identification information. The second argument specifies the detailed information about the FQDN option received by the server.
This debug message is issued when the server starts processing the Client FQDN option sent in the client's query. The argument includes the client and transaction identification information.
This debug message includes the detailed information extracted from the Hostname option sent in the query. The first argument includes the client and transaction identification information. The second argument specifies the hostname carried in the Hostname option sent by the client.
This debug message is issued when the server starts processing the Hostname option sent in the client's query. The argument includes the client and transaction identification information.
This debug message is issued when the DHCP server was unable to process the FQDN or Hostname option sent by a client. This is likely because the client's name was malformed or due to internal server error. The first argument contains the client and transaction identification information. The second argument holds the detailed description of the error.
A debug message listing the command (and possible arguments) received from the Kea control system by the DHCPv4 server.
This is an informational message announcing the successful processing of a new configuration. It is output during server startup, and when an updated configuration is committed by the administrator. Additional information may be provided.
This error message indicates that the DHCPv4 configuration has failed. If this is an initial configuration (during server's startup) the server will fail to start. If this is a dynamic reconfiguration attempt the server will continue to use an old configuration.
This is an informational message reporting that the configuration has been extended to include the specified IPv4 subnet.
This warning message is issued on an attempt to configure multiple options with the same option code for a particular subnet. Adding multiple options is uncommon for DHCPv4, but is not prohibited.
A debug message listing the configuration received by the DHCPv4 server. The source of that configuration depends on used configuration backend.
This is a debug message that is issued every time the server receives a configuration. That happens at start up and also when a server configuration change is committed by the administrator.
A debug message indicating that the DHCPv4 server has received an updated configuration from the Kea configuration system.
This error message indicates that DHCP4 server attempted to send a DDNS update request to the DHCP-DDNS server. This is most likely a configuration or networking error.
This message is printed when DHCPv4 server disables an interface from being used to receive DHCPv4 traffic. Sockets on this interface will not be opened by the Interface Manager until interface is enabled.
This informational message is printed when a client received an address, but discovered that it is being used by some other device and notified the server by sending a DHCPDECLINE message. The server checked that this address really was leased to the client and marked this address as unusable for a certain amount of time. This message may indicate a misconfiguration in a network, as there is either a buggy client or more likely a device that is using an address that it is not supposed to. The server will fully recover from this situation, but if the underlying problem of a misconfigured or rogue device is not solved, this address may be declined again in the future.
This informational message means that a client attempted to report his address as declined (i.e. used by unknown entity). The server has information about a lease for that address, but the client's hardware address or client identifier does not match the server's stored information. The client's request will be ignored.
This warning message indicates that a client reported that his address was detected as a duplicate (i.e. another device in the network is using this address). However, the server does not have a record for this address. This may indicate a client's error or a server's purged database.

This debug message is issued when the server is trying to send the response to the client. When the server is using an UDP socket to send the packet there are cases when this operation may be unsuccessful and no error message will be displayed. One such situation occurs when the server is unicasting the response to the 'ciaddr' of a DHCPINFORM message. This often requires broadcasting an ARP message to obtain the link layer address of the unicast destination. If broadcast ARP messages are blocked in the network, according to the firewall policy, the ARP message will not cause a response. Consequently, the response to the DHCPINFORM will not be sent. Since the ARP communication is under the OS control, Kea is not notified about the drop of the packet which it is trying to send and it has no means to display an error message.

This informational message is printed when a client attempts to decline a lease, but that lease belongs to a different client. The decline request will be rejected.
This informational message is printed when a client attempts to decline a lease. The server has a lease for this address, it belongs to this client, but the recorded IAID does not match what client has sent. This means the server will reject this Decline.
This error condition likely indicates database corruption, as every IPv6 lease is supposed to have a DUID, even if it is an empty one.
This informational message is printed when a client tried to decline an address, but the server has no lease for said address. This means that the server's and client's perception of the leases are different. The likely causes of this could be: a confused (e.g. skewed clock) or broken client (e.g. client moved to a different location and didn't notice) or possibly an attack (a rogue client is trying to decline random addresses). The server will inform the client that his decline request was rejected and client should be able to recover from that.
This informational message indicates that the client leased an address, but discovered that it is being used by some other device and reported this to the server by sending a Decline message. The server marked the lease as declined. This likely indicates a misconfiguration in the network. Either the server is configured with an incorrect pool or there are devices that have statically assigned addresses that are supposed to be assigned by the DHCP server. Both client (will request a different address) and server (will recover the lease after decline-probation-time elapses) will recover automatically. However, if the underlying problem is not solved, the conditions leading to this message may reappear.
This debug message is printed when the server starts processing an IA_NA option received in Decline message. It's expected that the option will contain an address that is being declined. Specific information will be printed in a separate message.

This message indicates that the server received DECLINE message, it was verified to be correct and matching server's lease information. The server called hooks for the lease6_decline hook point and one of the callouts set next step status to DROP. The server will now abort processing of the packet as if it was never received. The lease will continue to be assigned to this client.
This message indicates that the server received DECLINE message, it was verified to be correct and matching server's lease information. The server called hooks for the lease6_decline hook point and one of the callouts set next step status to SKIP. The server will skip the operation of moving the lease to the declined state and will continue processing the packet. In particular, it will send a REPLY message as if the decline actually took place.
This debug message is printed when a callout installed on the lease6_release hook point set the skip flag. For this particular hook point, the setting of the flag by a callout instructs the server to not release a lease.

The argument includes the client and the transaction identification information.
This debug message is printed when server receives a message of unknown type. That could either mean missing functionality or invalid or broken relay or client. The list of formally defined message types is available here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6-parameters.
This info message is logged when the server reads its server-id from a file or generates it. This message is a notification to the administrator what server-id will be used and where it is persisted. Typically, there is no need to modify the server id. However, it is possible to do it in the Kea configuration file. It is important to understand the implications of such modification. The clients will remember previous server-id, and will use it to extend their leases. As a result, they will have to go through a rebinding phase to re-acquire their leases and associate them with a new server id.
A warning message issued when the server has detected lease files that need to be either upgraded or downgraded to match the server's schema, and that the server is automatically running the LFC process to perform the conversion.

A debug message issued when the server is being configured to listen on all interfaces.
A debug message issued when the server's DHCP-DDNS settings are changed.
A debug message issued when configuration manager clears the internal list of active interfaces. This doesn't prevent the server from listening to the DHCP traffic through open sockets, but will rather be used by Interface Manager to select active interfaces when sockets are re-opened.
This warning message is issued when the server specified configuration of a server identifier. If this new configuration overrides an existing server identifier, this will affect existing bindings of the clients. Clients will use old server identifier when they renew their bindings. The server will not respond to those renews, and the clients will eventually transition to rebinding state. The server should reassign existing bindings and the clients will subsequently use new server identifier. It is recommended to not modify the server identifier, unless there is a good reason for it, to avoid increased number of renewals and a need for rebinding (increase of multicast traffic, which may be received by multiple servers).

This warning message is logged when the user specified that the DHCPv4 server should use the raw sockets to receive the DHCP messages and respond to the clients, but the use of raw sockets is not supported on the particular environment. The raw sockets are useful when the server must respond to the directly connected clients which don't have an address yet. If the raw sockets are not supported by Kea on the particular platform, Kea will fall back to use of the IP/UDP sockets. The responses to the directly connected clients will be broadcast. The responses to relayed clients will be unicast as usual.
This informational message is logged when the administrator hasn't specified the "dhcp-socket-type" parameter in configuration for interfaces. In such case, the default socket type will be used.
This informational message is logged when the DHCPv4 server selects the socket type to be used for all sockets that will be opened on the interfaces. Typically, the socket type is specified by the server administrator. If the socket type hasn't been specified, the raw socket will be selected. If the raw socket has been selected but Kea doesn't support the use of raw sockets on the particular OS, it will use an UDP socket instead.

This is a message indicating that the list of hooks has been reset. While this is usual when running the Kea test suite, it should not be seen when running Kea in a production environment. If this appears, please report a bug through the usual channels.
Kea has detected that the named hook library has been built against a version of Kea that is incompatible with the version of Kea running on your system. It has not loaded the library.
This is most likely due to the installation of a new version of Kea without rebuilding the hook library. A rebuild and re-install of the library should fix the problem in most cases.
This information message is issued when a user-supplied hooks library has been successfully loaded.
This is a debug message output just before the specified library is loaded. If the action is successfully, it will be followed by the HOOKS_LIBRARY_LOADED informational message.
This information message is issued when a user-supplied hooks library has been successfully unloaded.
This is a debug message called when the specified library is being unloaded. If all is successful, it will be followed by the HOOKS_LIBRARY_UNLOADED informational message.
A debug message issued when the version check on the hooks library has succeeded.
A "load" function was found in the library named in the message and was called. The function returned a non-zero status (also given in the message) which was interpreted as an error. The library has been unloaded and no callouts from it will be installed.
A "load" function was found in the library named in the message and was called. The function threw an exception (an error indication) during execution, which is an error condition. The library has been unloaded and no callouts from it will be installed.
A "load" function was found in the library named in the message and was called. Either the hooks framework or the function threw an exception (an error indication) during execution, which is an error condition; the cause of the exception is recorded in the message. The library has been unloaded and no callouts from it will be installed.
This is a debug message issued when the "load" function has been found in a hook library and has been successfully called.
This is a debug message saying that the specified library was loaded but no function called "load" was found in it. Providing the library contained some "standard" functions (i.e. functions with the names of the hooks for the given server), this is not an issue.
This is a debug message issued when the library is being unloaded. It merely states that the library did not contain an "unload" function.
The shared library named in the message was found and successfully loaded, but Kea did not find a function named "version" in it. This function is required and should return the version of Kea against which the library was built. The value is used to check that the library was built against a compatible version of Kea. The library has not been loaded.
Kea failed to open the specified hook library for the stated reason. The library has not been loaded. Kea will continue to function, but without the services offered by the library.
This is a debug message, output when the library loading function has located a standard callout (a callout with the same name as a hook point) and registered it. The address of the callout is indicated.
During the unloading of a library, an "unload" function was found. It was called, but returned an error (non-zero) status, resulting in the issuing of this message. The unload process continued after this message and the library has been unloaded.
During the unloading of a library, an "unload" function was found. It was called, but in the process generated an exception (an error indication). The unload process continued after this message and the library has been unloaded.
During the unloading of a library, an "unload" function was found. It was called, but in the process either it or the hooks framework generated an exception (an error indication); the cause of the error is recorded in the message. The unload process continued after this message and the library has been unloaded.
This is a debug message issued when an "unload" function has been found in a hook library during the unload process, called, and returned success.
This error message is issued if the version() function in the specified hooks library was called and generated an exception. The library is considered unusable and will not be loaded.

A message from the interface to the underlying logger implementation reporting that the debug level (as set by an internally-created string DEBUGn, where n is an integer, e.g. DEBUG22) is above the maximum allowed value and has been reduced to that value. The appearance of this message may indicate a programming error - please submit a bug report.
A message from the interface to the underlying logger implementation reporting that an internally-created string used to set the debug level is not of the correct format (it should be of the form DEBUGn, where n is an integer, e.g. DEBUG22). The appearance of this message indicates a programming error - please submit a bug report.
A message from the interface to the underlying logger implementation reporting that the debug level (as set by an internally-created string DEBUGn, where n is an integer, e.g. DEBUG22) is below the minimum allowed value and has been increased to that value. The appearance of this message may indicate a programming error - please submit a bug report.
A logger destination value was given that was not recognized. The destination should be one of "console", "file", or "syslog".
A logger severity value was given that was not recognized. The severity should be one of "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR", "FATAL" or "NONE".
Logging has been configured so that output is written to the terminal (console) but the stream on which it is to be written is not recognized. Allowed values are "stdout" and "stderr".
During start-up, Kea detected that the given message identification had been defined multiple times in the Kea code. This indicates a programming error; please submit a bug report.
When reading a message file, more than one $NAMESPACE directive was found. (This directive is used to set a C++ namespace when generating header files during software development.) Such a condition is regarded as an error and the read will be abandoned.
The program was not able to open the specified input message file for the reason given.
An invalid message identification (ID) has been found during the read of a message file. Message IDs should comprise only alphanumeric characters and the underscore, and should not start with a digit.
This is a log message used in testing.
The $NAMESPACE directive in a message file takes a single argument, a namespace in which all the generated symbol names are placed. This error is generated when the compiler finds a $NAMESPACE directive with more than one argument.
The $NAMESPACE argument in a message file should be a valid C++ namespace. This message is output if the simple check on the syntax of the string carried out by the reader fails.
The $NAMESPACE directive in a message file takes a single argument, a C++ namespace in which all the generated symbol names are placed. This error is generated when the compiler finds a $NAMESPACE directive with no arguments.
Within a message file, message are defined by lines starting with a "%". The rest of the line should comprise the message ID and text describing the message. This error indicates the message compiler found a line in the message file comprising just the "%" and nothing else.
Within a message file, message are defined by lines starting with a "%". The rest of the line should comprise the message ID and text describing the message. This error indicates the message compiler found a line in the message file comprising just the "%" and message identification, but no text.
During start-up a local message file was read. A line with the listed message identification was found in the file, but the identification is not one contained in the compiled-in message dictionary. This message may appear a number of times in the file, once for every such unknown message identification.
There may be several reasons why this message may appear:
- The message ID has been mis-spelled in the local message file.
- The program outputting the message may not use that particular message (e.g. it originates in a module not used by the program).
- The local file was written for an earlier version of the Kea software and the later version no longer generates that message.
Whatever the reason, there is no impact on the operation of Kea.
Originating within the logging code, the program was not able to open the specified output file for the reason given.
Within a message file, the $PREFIX directive takes a single argument, a prefix to be added to the symbol names when a C++ file is created. This error is generated when the compiler finds a $PREFIX directive with more than one argument.
Note: the $PREFIX directive is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Kea.
Within a message file, the $PREFIX directive takes a single argument, a prefix to be added to the symbol names when a C++ file is created. As such, it must adhere to restrictions on C++ symbol names (e.g. may only contain alphanumeric characters or underscores, and may nor start with a digit). A $PREFIX directive was found with an argument (given in the message) that violates those restrictions.
Note: the $PREFIX directive is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Kea.
This is an informational message output by Kea when it starts to read a local message file. (A local message file may replace the text of one or more messages; the ID of the message will not be changed though.)
The specified error was encountered reading from the named message file.
Within a message file, a line starting with a dollar symbol was found (indicating the presence of a directive) but the first word on the line (shown in the message) was not recognized.
The specified error was encountered by the message compiler when writing to the named output file.
This is an error message issued when the DHCP UserCheckHook could not be loaded. The exact cause should be explained in the log message. User subnet selection will revert to default processing.
This is an error message issued when an error occurs while unloading the UserCheckHook library. This is unlikely to occur and normal operations of the library will likely resume when it is next loaded.
This is an error message issued when the DHCP UserCheckHook subnet4_select hook encounters an unexpected error. The message should contain a more detailed explanation.
This is an error message issued when the DHCP UserCheckHook subnet4_select hook has been invoked but the UserRegistry has not been created. This is a programmatic error and should not occur.
This is an error message issued when the DHCP UserCheckHook subnet6_select hook encounters an unexpected error. The message should contain a more detailed explanation.
This is an error message issued when the DHCP UserCheckHook subnet6_select hook has been invoked but the UserRegistry has not been created. This is a programmatic error and should not occur.
