<p>Kea is currently able to report dozens of statistics. However, for each statistic there is only one specific value being reported. For certain types of activities it is highly desirable to have multiple observations over time. Having many data points gives an insight into processes that are changing over time, e.g. daily patterns in user activities, DOS detection and mitigation etc. Therefore the primary task of that issue is expanding the method of collecting observations in Kea by adding the possibility to collecting statistics as time-series ‘buckets’.</p>

<p>The primary objective of this project is to develop a GUI dashboard for the Kea DHCP server software to function as a remote monitoring and management console. This frontend web application integrates essential features from the Kea Control Agent (CA) REST API, delivering to users a mechanism for monitoring and configuring the states of remote DHCP servers.</p> <p>Server Monitoring and Management features:</p> <ul> <li>Interface with DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers and switch b/w server machines (CA Address)</li> <li>View server status, subnet and shared network layout with real-time utilization stats.</li> <li>Device OUI and lease statistics.</li> <li>Control server operation with local boot ops (start/stop/restart)</li> <li>Utilization threshold alerts and event reports.</li> <li>Examine server logs in real-time (local server).</li> <li>View and modify server config with change testing and updating options.</li> <li>Modify specific server params for network entities (subnet, shared n/w, host res) through editable forms.</li> </ul>

<p>IPv6 re-configuration through DHCP is a server triggered mechanism for the clients to update their IPv6 addresses and prefixes. The server behavior of sending and handling Reconfigure message is specified in RFC3315bis Internet draft. Kea-dhcpv6 server currently does not support Reconfigure messages and its associated remote key authentication protocol. The task of this project would be to extend Kea server software with the support of sending and handling of Reconfigure message in kea-dhcpv6 server as specified in RFC 3315-bis Internet Draft</p>
