stork-agent - Stork agent that monitors BIND and Kea services¶

Synopsis¶

stork-agent [–host] [–port]

Description¶

The stork-agent is a small tool that is being run on the systems that are running BIND and Kea services. Stork server connects to the stork agent and uses it to monitor services remotely.

Arguments¶

The Stork Agent takes the following arguments:

-h or --help: Displays list of available parameters.
--host=hostname: Specifies the IP to listen on. Can be controlled with $STORK_AGENT_ADDRESS environment variable. The default value is ::.
--port=1234: Specifies the TCP port to listen on for connections. The default is 8080. Can be controlled with $STORK_AGENT_PORT environment variable.

Configuration¶

Stork agent uses two environment variables to control its behavior:

STORK_AGENT_ADDRESS - if defined, governs which IP address to listen on
STORK_AGENT_PORT - if defined, it controls which port to listen on. The default is 8080.

Mailing List and Support¶

There is a public mailing list available for the Stork project. stork-dev (stork-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective contributors, and other advanced users. The list is available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support on both of those lists.

Once stork will become more mature, ISC will be providing professional support for Stork services.

History¶

The stork-agent was first coded in November 2019 by Michal Nowikowski.
