expose Kea statistics in a format that's acceptable by Prometheus.
One of the major benefits of Prometheus is that it turns repeated one time observation into time series,
which lets you monitor how certain behaviors change over time. It is easy to use other tools

Grafana to provide visual dashboards. The Stork project provides dashboard
