We have a new Microsoft IIS web site hosted on a Shared Windows based Server which hosts multiple web sites for different customers, The Hosting Environment already has Dynatrace Agent/Binaries installed (5,6) We understand that the dtwsagent,ini file has been configured already to point to collector server A,
The question I have is if its possible in having our web site hosted on this shared environment get configured to point to a different collector (Server B) , We understand that we can selectively configure the web site IIS worker process through the Agent UI or command line to point to a specific collector, however we still have the INI file, is it possible in having more than one collector server defined on the dtwsagent file?
Hope this is clear, gets tricky when looking at a shared hosting environment, some customers have their own Dynatrace infrastructure in our company and thus request a specific collector server in being defined, since we are not part of that group we cannot use their collector servers but leverage a different Dynatrace infrastructure although we all share the Windows server where the agents have been installed/set up
Not sure if a second instance of the Dynatrace agent may need to be installed on the windows iis hosting server pointing to a different folder so we can have a second unique INI, any advice is appreciated

Hi. Check out the following doc page - Web Server Agent Configuration. There is a section on setting up multiple web server agents on a single box. This will then allow you to have your individual web server agents point to different collectors and also map to different system profiles
