@SteveITS Thanks :) I had not realized that.

@w0w
This can happen if you have switched from dhcpd to kea but have not changed the service watchdog. -
@jimp Today see TS state
unexpected state: NoStateand removing/tmp/kea4-ctrl-socket.lockdoes no helpsomething new?

This issue should be handled with the 24.11-RC. Feedback on it would be helpful if you were hitting this previously.

@marcosm This issue is happening to me
a few nights prior i woke up to some "IOT" things flashing as they couldnt connect to their wifi.
and found i didnt have internet, however when i got up at 6 it was working again without user intervention so i am not sure..this morning i woke up to no "internet"
(some statically set things over ethernet were working, obv) but everything wifi was offline.on the router, kea ipv4 was offline i had to click the start button, for now i have installed the watch dog server to auto restart. id send logs if i knew where and which ones you wanted to help diag this? or if this is even related? (running 24.11)
best regards

I have also had this experience on my Netgate 3100. Only details I could find in the logs was:
Dec 5 20:58:54 kernel pid 67465 (kea-dhcp4), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)For some reason the kia-dhcp4 process does not seem to be generating any log entries on my device so really hard to work out if it's connected.
I have after reading a few posts increased the size of my DHCP pool in case some IoT devices are doing something odd (I saw this as a possibility in another thread.I am now in the monitoring phase but I would not have expected a DHCP service to fail so spectacularly if it ran out of addresses in it's pool to give out.

@DavidIr I don't think i have that many IOT devices, maybe 10-15? mostly light switches and my
cell phones, tv, etc. i have them on their own vlan with the DHCP pool size at about 150 IPs, my brother (IT admin) has suggested changing the DHCP lease from the default 2 hours to 24 hours. i have done this, so far so good. but its only been 1 day. s: only time will tell if this helps-Rolder

@DavidIr Did this happen on 24.11? The core dump file should be in /root - sharing that would help determine what happened.

Yes it did.
I assume the kea-dhcp4.core file?
I'm not familiar with these files - is it safe to just attach to the forum, or should I send in some other way? -

@marcosm I have uploaded the file I downloaded the other day, but will also upload another from today which definitely aligns to when the service unexpectedly stopped this morning - I resolved by simply restarting the service. I was surprised that the watchdog did not restart the service for me.
