monitoring multiple vCenters from a single Agent

Per documentation (www.ibm.com/docs/en/obi/... you can deploy the agent on the vCenter itself or any agent of choice (linux/windows) on a remote system - the vCenter sensor is able to perform remote monitoring if installation on the vCenter is not possible.

Once the Instana agent is deployed, agent configuration YAML file to make the sensors connect to the vCenter services is: <agent_install_dir>/etc/instana/configuration.yaml

It is possible to configure remote connections to two or more different vcenters on one agent.


My proposal is to add option to configure more than one vcenter connector on one agent.
