ISC-KEA - kea-legal hook - database backend mysql unsupported?

Question

Im attempting to set up the kea-legal hook to log to a mysql database. The database exists and the "logs" schema also exists.

This is what Ive got for my kea-dhcp4.conf hooks configuration:

"hooks-libraries": [{
"library": "/usr/local/lib/kea/hooks/libdhcp_legal_log.so",
"parameters": {
"name": "DHCP",
"password": "password",
"type": "mysql",
"user": "root"
}
}],

I receive this error in the logs:

An error occurred loading the library: Database access parameter 'type' does not specify a supported database backend: mysql

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

In order to use Kea with MySQL, you have to run ./configure --with-mysql when installing.

Works fine now..
