On-boarding multiple agents with a single waratek.properties file

This step is optional

Faced with a limitation where agents cannot be configured individually and Portal connectivity is required - an additional configuration flag is available to allow for multiple agents to share a single waratek.properties file

com.waratek.SharedProperties=true

A separate instance.waratek.properties file will be created to store the credentials for each agent (these are numbered in ascending order)

If com.waratek.SharedProperties is not specified, the default value is false.

If com.waratek.SharedProperties is set to false, then multiple agents sharing the same waratek.properties file can still connect and onboard to the Portal. In this case, however, all agents sharing the same waratek.properties file would appear as a single 'instance' in the Portal. This will render log entries and events indistinguishable in the Portal UI.

Note : all agents that use this flag (com.waratek.SharedProperties) must belong to a single Application in the Portal, this is mandatory configuration.
