Monitor linux nodes by two instances of SolarWinds

I'm trying to monitor the same nodes for two instances of SW, those nodes are linux based and the administrator's instance will monitor them by Agent. I wanna know, if there are an option to monitoring those nodes by two instances with diferent polling methods.

Anyone has an idea?, please

You will need to use SNMP for one instance and an agent for the other. Agents can point to one environment.

Thanks StevenStadel, do you have documentation about that,please? I haven't been able to find any.

An agent is designed to have a one-to-one relationship with a polling engine. When you deploy an agent, it's registered to and managed by a specific poller—either your Main Polling Engine or an Additional Polling Engine (APE). That designated poller is solely responsible for sending monitoring configurations to the agent and collecting its data. While an agent can't report to multiple pollers simultaneously, it does have a failover capability. If you have a High Availability (HA) pool set up for your polling engines, the agent is aware of the backup (standby) poller. The agent setup documentation shows registering to a single poller.
