Instana agent must bring metrics from multiple database services with different ports on local host.

The current Instana implemented code picks the “port” number from configuration.yaml file and figures out that what is database service name (or SID) and connects and brings-in corresponding metrics.

 IBM developers may update the code to read multiple ports from the same “port” variable from configuration.yaml file which has some delimited (for example: comma delimitation) port numbers. Then loop through the existing reusable code which identifies the database service (SID) based on the port number for each port in the variable. All other logic in place which takes care of brining-in the metrics.

This solution will handle multiple scenarios of database services (SID) and reduce the burden on end users such as USPTO.
