can we list multiple vsphere hosts in the hosts field?
currently I have hosts: ["[https://host1/sdk](https://host1/sdk)", "[https://host2/sdk](https://host2/sdk)"] but it is only collecting information from host1 and nothing from host2
if we are wanting to collect from multiple vspheres can this be done from a single instance of metricbeats?

Hello, thanks for posting your question here. I will look at the code to see if it supports more than one host. For now, if you want to monitor multiple hosts, you can try vsphere.yml like:
```auto
- module: vsphere
enabled: true
metricsets: ["datastore", "host", "virtualmachine"]
period: 10s
hosts: ["https://host1/sdk"]
- module: vsphere
enabled: true
metricsets: ["datastore", "host", "virtualmachine"]
period: 10s
hosts: ["https://host2/sdk"]
```
