+# Uncomment the two lines below this paragraph for NAV to fetch DHCP metrics
+# from the Kea DHCPv4 server managed by the Management API served by the Kea
+# Control Agent with URI "https://example.org:8080/"
+
+
+#[https://example.org:8080/]
+#dhcp_version=4
+
+
+# IMPORTANT: If the URI scheme is 'http://', NAV will happily communicate using
+# plain HTTP. NAV needs to fetch the configuration file of the Kea DHCP server
+# to collect subnet-specific metrics, and this will be sent in plaintext over
+# the network if HTTP is used. As the configuration file may contain
+# confidential data (such as passwords), it is highly reccomended to use HTTPS
+# if connections to the URI might cross an insecure network. Use HTTPS by
+# specifying the URI scheme 'https://'.
+
+# Only DHCPv4 servers (dhcp_version=4) are supported. (Kea DHCPv6 servers have a
+# different set of available metrics. Support for metrics from Kea DHCPv6 might
+# be added in the future.)
