With the newest release of sysdig 0.1.99 you now have the option to run multiple concurrent instances of sysdig

As a beta user of sysdig cloud, this is fantastic news. I now have the option to manually capture traces on the local machines without having to stop the cloud monitoring agent.

To configure sysdig for multiple connections

create a new file

sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/sysdig_probe.conf

Add the following lines

options sysdig_probe max_consumers = 5

Stop the sysdigcloud agent which will unload the sysdig module

service dragent stop
service dragent start

You will now have the ability to run multiple instances of sysdig while monitoring using sysdigcloud
