<br>
The Kea 3.0.0 Release Notes contain the following information
regarding the <br>
deprication of the Kea Control Agent (CA).<br>
<br>
—-PASTE—-<br>
1. **Native HTTP/TLS support**: The DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and
DHCP-DDNS<br>
daemons now have native support for API sockets over HTTP and
TLS<br>
(HTTP), without the need to use the Control Agent (CA). This
greatly<br>
simplifies the configuration as CA is no longer necessary
[#3477, #1764,<br>
#3490]. As a result, the CA is now deprecated.<br>
—-PASTE—-<br>
<br>
The Stork 2.4.0 Release notes contain the following information
regarding the <br>
deprication of the CA.<br>
<br>
---PASTE---<br>
1. **Direct API support for Kea**: The Kea Control Agent (CA) is<br>
deprecated as of Kea 3.0; it is now possible to run Kea in a
mode where<br>
the DHCP daemons receive commands directly (without the CA).
This caused<br>
a major refactoring of Stork: the application concept was
dropped and<br>
Stork now operates on the daemon level [#1835, #2193]. We fixed
a<br>
problem where the Stork agent was not able to detect a Kea
instance when<br>
the control agent was bound to an IPv6 address [#2092]. System
tests for<br>
the direct API were implemented [#2133]. Commands to Kea are now
sent<br>
over other control sockets if the first one is unavailable
[#2223]. The<br>
daemons are no longer removed from the database if they are
inactive; a<br>
button can delete them manually [#2095]. The agent can now
communicate<br>
to UNIX control sockets if they are configured by name only in
Kea<br>
[#2166].<br>

<br>
If there are duplicate entries, you should stop and disable the
CA.<br>
<br>
When the CA is no longer running, you should be able to remove
the daemon, which <br>
communicates over the CA.<br>

The question I have is about the control agent and Stork. </div>

When I look at stork (v2.4.0) I now see duplicated entries is
this because of the control agent? I have not (yet) changed the
control agent</div>

The part which is unclear to me is that stork can now run
without the use of the control agent. (as I understand it)</div>
