Description

Instance Enter a unique alphanumeric short description used to differentiate one instance of the module loaded into an agent from another. The description you enter here is appended to the module file name.

HALWebLogic+examplesServer

More than one instance can be loaded into the same agent to monitor multiple WebLogic Server instances.
