When Should I Select an Existing Agent?

Do this if an application is connected to multiple databases, as shown in Figure 1, and an agent has been installed on the application (by setting Installing Node Type to Application) for one of the databases (for example, DB1). To add an agent for another of them, select Selecting an existing agent for Add Mode, and select the agent added for DB1, as shown in Figure 2.

After the agent is added, the database can be audited.
