### One agent connecting to multiple hosts
It is common to configure a single Agent host to connect to multiple remote database instances (see [Agent installation architectures](/database_monitoring/architecture/) for DBM). To connect to multiple hosts, create an entry for each host in the MySQL integration config.
An agent with 4 CPUs and 16GB of RAM can monitor up to 30 databases with the same resources each.

<div class="alert alert-info">Datadog recommends using one Agent to monitor no more than 30 database instances.<br /><br />Benchmarks show that one Agent running on a t4g.medium EC2 instance (2 CPUs and 4GB of RAM) can successfully monitor 30 RDS db.t3.medium instances (2 CPUs and 4GB of RAM).</div>
