<div class="PlainText">Hello Corby!<br>
<br>
Stork indeed requires the Kea Control Agent to be able to monitor Kea <br>
daemons. We are implementing support for CA-less installations. You can <br>
track the progress in: <br>
<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fgitlab.isc.org%2fisc-projects%2fstork%2f-%2fissues%2f1835&c=E,1,zpt40r4lWQDGpa-U4IWJUl6zgoXm3NW1rQUQ3YVipG5IUGLl0CvyIPO64GMWz5nq3qBBv7kgllcVlHMPy_N92GT0-YngW_dwtB5kS30TWDBa9Bbb&typo=1">https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fgitlab.isc.org%2fisc-projects%2fstork%2f-%2fissues%2f1835&c=E,1,zpt40r4lWQDGpa-U4IWJUl6zgoXm3NW1rQUQ3YVipG5IUGLl0CvyIPO64GMWz5nq3qBBv7kgllcVlHMPy_N92GT0-YngW_dwtB5kS30TWDBa9Bbb&typo=1</a>
.<br>
<br>
The configuration of the Kea Control Agent is described in Kea ARM in <br>
this section: <br>
<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fkea.readthedocs.io%2fen%2fkea-3.0.0%2farm%2fagent.html%23configuration&c=E,1,Levp3it8G5vi9qaVCHWDA4AyeNRhkwx-VR-ecPlsiN72ml8rhibAfzdDCrF5s4FxLQLzhPnH0q7JnHDCArqwNb_L922gVQ6PpjqSzPUQka5yw0Ul7ooKekM,&typo=1">https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fkea.readthedocs.io%2fen%2fkea-3.0.0%2farm%2fagent.html%23configuration&c=E,1,Levp3it8G5vi9qaVCHWDA4AyeNRhkwx-VR-ecPlsiN72ml8rhibAfzdDCrF5s4FxLQLzhPnH0q7JnHDCArqwNb_L922gVQ6PpjqSzPUQka5yw0Ul7ooKekM,&typo=1</a><br>
<br>
You can find some examples of working and Stork compatible <br>
configurations in the Stork demo files. For example: <br>

I'm looking forward for your feedback of using Stork.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
