[Request]: Will 2 synthetic agents with the same agent policy let us create 4 browser monitors?

[dbalijapalli0264]

Description

Hello Elastic team,
Looks like we could use your help in understand the behavior of the synthetic agents run on ECK Operator.

Resources

Issue:
We created 2 replicas of synthetic-agent in the deployment, and they both register under the same agent-policy as 2 agents. But I can have only one private-locations as I get an error saying the agent policy is already in use. when trying to create the 2nd private-location for the second agent I have deployed.

Question:

1. My question is that, in free Elastic version 8.10.1 Could we create more than one private-location if we deploy more than one agent?

.Here is my spec

• spec:
• policyID: eck-agent
• version: 8.10.1
• image: elastic-agent-complete:8.10.1
• kibanaRef:

• name: kb-apm
  

• fleetServerRef:

• name: apm-fleet-server
  

• mode: fleet
• deployment:

• replicas: 2
  

2. If I add this env variable, as stated in the document here, https://github.com/elastic/observability-docs/edit/main/docs/en/observability/synthetics-private-location.asciidoc, will it let me create 20 browser monitors, as I have 2 agents running with that agent-policy with the below setting that is overriding the default 2 browser checks per agent?
   - name: SYNTHETICS_LIMIT_BROWSER
   value: "10"

Which documentation set does this change impact?
