In a managed services kind of environment, often different environments/customers may have
the same private IP addresses. In this case, how does the eG manager function?

The
eG manager can use the "nick name" provided at the time of installation
of the agents for this purpose. Agents installed on the systems with the same
IP addresses must have different nick names assigned to them. When adding these
systems for monitoring, the nick name as mentioned on the eG agent must be specified in the eG admin
console.
By default, the eG manager automatically does a reverse mapping of IP
address to nicknames, so just assigning different nicknames for the agents is
NOT sufficient for the eG manager to be able to differentiate between these
systems.
Go to Admin -> Settings
->Manager ->General Settings.
Select Yes for the “Automatically map IP address of agents to nick names”.
