I have a jmx input, with below jmx conf file:  
{  
"host" : "hostname",  
"port" : port,

```
    "queries" : [
            {
                    "object_name" : "java.lang:type=Memory",
                    "object_alias" : "Memory"
            },
            {
                    "object_name" : "java.lang:type=OperatingSystem",
                    "object_alias" : "OS"
            },
            {
                    "object_name" : "java.lang:type=Runtime",
                    "object_alias" : "Runtime"
            },
            {
                    "object_name" : "java.lang:type=Threading",
                    "object_alias" : "Threading"
            }
    ]

```

}  
I need collect from dozens of servers. Instead of creating dozens of conf files for each JVM, is there any better way to put multiple hosts in one conf file? Like:

hosts =\> ["host1", "host2", "host3"]
