More than one subscription in a one Cloud Service Agents

In the documentation there is a issue to use one single agent for each Azure subscription

as we are able to create a Reading Service Accounts for the whole Azure Tenant and have many subscrioptions; will it possible to configure an agent in order to discover and get metrics from more than a single subscription also for reduce licensing use?

    We also looking for solution how to monitor large number of subscriptions.

    If we have instana host agent on single vm and configured to monitor one subscription.

    There should be solution how to use this agent/vm for monitor multi subscriptions (we have 50+ subscriptions) or run multiple instana agents on one vm (docker?).

    In documentation: 

    Install the Instana host agent on a host inside or outside your Azure environment. Each host agent can monitor remote services within a single subscription. To monitor multiple Azure subscriptions, you must deploy multiple host agents.
