Overview



1.1. Goals

The goals of the ISC Stork project are:

To provide monitoring and insight into Kea DHCP operations.

To provide alerting mechanisms that indicate failures, fault conditions,
and other unwanted events in Kea DHCP services.

To permit easier troubleshooting of these services.

Although Stork currently only offers monitoring, insight, and alerts for Kea
DHCP, we plan to add similar capabilities for BIND 9 in future versions.



1.2. Architecture

Stork is comprised of two components: the Stork server (stork-server) and
the Stork agent (stork-agent).

The Stork server is installed on a stand-alone machine. It connects to any
indicated agents and indirectly (via those agents) interacts with the Kea
DHCP services. It provides an integrated, centralized front end for these
services. Only one Stork server is deployed in a network.

The Stork agent is installed along with Kea DHCP and interacts directly with
those services. There may be many agents deployed in a network, one per
machine.
