[stork-users] Stork with Multiple Independent Kea servers

[Slawek Figiel]

Hello Justin!

Darren is right. It would be best if you had a single Stork Server and 
as many Stork Agents as you have Kea machines.

Stork comprises two kinds of components: a server and an agent. The 
Stork Agents are installed on the same machines as Kea Control Agent and 
Kea DHCP daemons. The Stork Agents are responsible for detecting and 
monitoring Kea daemons and passing the data to Stork Server. You need 
only one Stork Server in your environment because it collects, 
aggregates, and displays data from all connected agents.

Don't worry; Stork will handle your setup gracefully.

Regards,
Slawek

I have multiple discrete ISC dhcpd servers running in a fairly vanilla DHCP setup, each dhcpd server serving its own set of separate users. I intend to replace all of the dhcpd servers with Kea eventually. My question is this, is Stork designed to understand that I will have multiple Kea servers serving different pools/networks that are in no way related to one another or would I need to run a Stork server for each DHCP server environment?
