Instead of ISC Stork
ISC Stork alternatives
ISC Stork gives Kea administrators a web interface for monitoring DHCP services and maintaining configurations. It reports host and daemon health, including CPU and memory use, software versions, and uptime, and tracks DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 pool utilization and high-availability status. With the required Kea hooks, it can manage reservations, subnets, and pools. Stork is free, open source, supports LDAP authentication, and can export traffic activity to Prometheus for Grafana charts.

Its limits may prompt a switch: Stork can display BIND configuration and zone information, but DNS support is early-stage and it cannot modify BIND settings. The Kea Configuration Backend hook is incompatible with Stork management, which expects the running configuration to be authoritative. Deployment also requires a Stork server, agents on application servers, and PostgreSQL. When comparing alternatives, weigh whether you need broader DNS or IP address management, more extensive network inventory, a different deployment approach, or a focused Kea management interface.
