I have multiple java instances running on multiple servers. the current setup for jmx agent only allows you to interrogate 1 jmx interface.

I can setup multiple jmx interfaces, but I can't get the same values from both jvms
for example I can create a template to read
jmx["java.lang:type=Threading","ThreadCount"]
from 1 jmx, but when i try and create another I can't there is a clash of the key's

i tried to tack a [0] [1] or [2] on the end. But JMX doesn't like that !

I think the simplest way forward is to allow the [] at the end, but have jmx ignore it when it makes it request !

Then all i need to do is assign per host which jmx interface to use.

or even better if the [x] could be used to select with jmx interface to use ! [0] => default [1] -> 1 [2] - > 2 !
