Support for monitoring multiple machines on the same pi

[tobyaharris]

Is there an easy way to set up multiple current_sensing service modules to run on the same pi, to capture data from multiple machines simultaneously?

Or, could we explore capturing data from multiple machines in a single sensing module?

The capabilities for multiple machines are already present in the solution. Not in same service module, one service module per machine, but can be on the same hardware.

I say the capability isn't there until we've tested and documented it :) Just because something should be possible doesn't mean it's user-ready.

Do we have notes anywhere on duplicating service modules? Copy and paste the folder is the easy part - what needs to renamed to avoid conflicts? Presumably the docker services, what else?

Demand for this is widespread - see also a customer asking about multiple temperature sensors on the community forum
