stork-agent - Stork agent that monitors BIND 9 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 9 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.
--listen-stork-only: Instructs the agent to listen for commands from the Stork Server but not for Prometheus requests. Can also be set with the $STORK_AGENT_LISTEN_STORK_ONLY environment variable.
--listen-prometheus-only: Instructs the agent to listen for Prometheus requests but not for commands from the Stork Server. Can also be set with the $STORK_AGENT_LISTEN_PROMETHEUS_ONLY 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 BIND 9 and 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.
