      Hi folks,

      Does anyone know where pfSense keeps the DHCP leases file on disk, that's in the KEA format? The ISC one was stored in /var/dhcpd/var/db

      If there is no file, is there a programmatic method of fetching plaintext DHCP leases data from command line for parsing by an external utility.

      Thanks

        @yegor If my memory is correct it's /var/lib/kea/dhcp4.leases...I am away from my system as well as had disabled Kea and went back to ISC.

          @NollipfSense I think you're correct as per https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-1.6.2/arm/dhcp4-srv.html

          Thanks!
