[stork-users] Fresh Stork 2.2.0 does not discover fresh Kea DHCP 3.0.0 instalation

[Corby Stephens]

The section heading is misleading. In my case I was not upgrading to Kea 3, it was my starting point, so I saw no reason to read that. Also, the ARM docs do not mention a need to the Control Agent in either Kea or Stork.

That being said, having never configured the Control Agent, what is the proper configuration when hosting Kea and Stork on the same server (basic, getting started, get them talking, no SSL yet level)? Again, I'm brand new to Kea, Stork, this whole ecosystem. The docs need to be written at that level. My main DHCP experience is Microsoft based so I'm not new to DHCP itself, but this is a very different platform in terms of setup/configuration.

Where is it documented that Stork 2.2.0 and Kea 3.0.0 do not yet work together? What are the versions that do work together currently? https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/stable/arm/stork.html suggests that they do work together by the fact that the section exists in the 3.0.0 docs.

I did not say that they "do not work together", only that the Control Agent is still required for Stork to be able to communicate with Kea 3.0.0 (where it is not required for Kea to communicate with itself).

This is documented here: https://kb.isc.org/docs/things-to-be-aware-of-when-upgrading-to-kea-300#connection-with-stork-agent

If there is other documentation which indicates that Stork can communicate with Kea without using the Control Agent, please point it out (by posting links) so that the ISC team can correct it.
