1. Overview¶
1.1. Goals¶
The goals of the Stork project are as follows:
- to provide monitoring and insight into ISC Kea DHCP and ISC BIND 9 operations
- to provide alerting mechanisms that indicate failures, fault conditions, and other unwanted events in ISC Kea DHCP and ISC BIND 9 services
- to permit easier troubleshooting of these services
1.2. Architecture¶
Stork is comprised of two components: Stork Server
and Stork Agent
.
Stork Agent
is installed along with Kea DHCP or BIND 9 and
interacts directly with those services. There may be many
agents deployed in a network, one per machine.
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 and BIND 9 services. It provides an integrated,
centralized front end for interacting with these services.
Only one Stork Server
is deployed in a network.
