In +particular, it features database initialization, database version +checking, and database schema upgrading. + +Arguments +~~~~~~~~~ + +``command`` + Specifies the command to be issued to the servers. It can be one of the + following: + + ``db-init`` + Initializes a new database schema. This is useful during a new Kea + installation. The database is initialized to the latest version + supported by the version of the software being installed. + + ``db-version`` + Reports the database backend version number. This is not necessarily + equal to the Kea version number, as each backend has its own + versioning scheme. + + ``db-upgrade`` + Conducts a database schema upgrade. This is useful when upgrading Kea. + + ``lease-dump`` + Dumps the contents of the lease database (for MySQL or + PostgreSQL backends) to a CSV (comma-separated values) text file. (Support + for the Cassandra backend has been deprecated.) + The first line of the file contains the column names. This can be used + as a way to switch from a database backend to a memfile backend. + Alternatively, it can be used as a diagnostic tool, so it provides a + portable form of the lease data. + + ``lease-upload`` + Uploads leases from a CSV (comma-separated values) text file to a MySQL or + a PostgreSQL lease database. The CSV file needs to be in memfile format. + + ``stats-recount`` + Recounts lease statistics for a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. + +``backend`` + Specifies the backend type. Currently allowed backends are: memfile, + mysql, and pgsql; cql has been deprecated. + +``-h|--host hostname`` + Specifies the hostname when connecting to a database. + The default value is ``localhost``. + +``-P|--port port`` + Specifies the port when connecting to a database. If not specified, + the default value chosen by the database client is used. + +``-u|--user username`` + Specifies the username when connecting to a database. + The default value is ``keatest``. + +``-p|--password password`` + Specifies the password when connecting to a database. + If only ``-p`` or ``--password`` is given, the user is prompted for a password. + If not specified at all, the ``KEA_ADMIN_DB_PASSWORD`` environment variable + is checked for a value and used if it exists. + Otherwise the default value of ``keatest`` is used. + +``-n|--name database-name`` + Specifies the name of the database to connect to. The + default value is ``keatest``. + +``-d|--directory script-directory`` + Specifies the override scripts directory. That script is used during + upgrades, database initialization, and possibly other operations. + The default value is ``(prefix)/share/kea/scripts/``. + +``-o|--output output_file`` + Specifies the file to which the lease data will be dumped. Required for + ``lease-dump``. + +``-v|--version`` + Prints the ``kea-admin`` version and quits. + +``-4`` + Directs ``kea-admin`` to lease-dump the DHCPv4 leases. Incompatible with + the -6 option. + +``-6`` + Directs ``kea-admin`` to lease-dump the DHCPv6 leases. Incompatible with + the -4 option. + +``-x|--extra`` + Specifies an extra argument to pass to the database command tool e.g. + to invoke ``mysql`` with the ``--ssl`` argument. This can be repeated + to pass more than one argument. Quotes are not preserved. Avoid commands + containing spaces. + +``-y|--yes`` + Assume yes on overwriting temporary files. + +Documentation +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers +all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installation, +configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a +Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print +with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are +available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea +distribution. The Kea documentation is available at +https://kea.readthedocs.io. + +Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide, +available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/. + +The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org. + +Mailing Lists and Support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. **kea-users** +(kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while **kea-dev** +(kea-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective +contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at +https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support +on both of those lists. + +ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See +https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details. + +See Also +~~~~~~~~ + +:manpage:`kea-dhcp4(8)`, :manpage:`kea-dhcp6(8)`, +:manpage:`kea-dhcp-ddns(8)`, :manpage:`kea-ctrl-agent(8)`, +:manpage:`keactrl(8)`, :manpage:`perfdhcp(8)`, :manpage:`kea-netconf(8)`, +Kea Administrator Reference Manual. |
