However, the database server has, in fact, not one but approximately 60 databases. Each database has the same schema, so the same script can be used to monitor the value in question for each database. But I do not want to create 60 different DCIs manually, one for each database to be monitored. I would rather use instance discovery so that they can be created automagically for me.

However, in order to use instance discovery for this case, it would appear to be necessary to do two things:

1. Create a DCI based on my shell script that contains an {instance} parameter that accepts the name of a database on the server.
2. Create an agent list that contains the names of all of the databases on the database server.

Are both of these things possible? I am new to NetXMS and so far I have only come across built-in DCIs that accept {instance} parameters, as well as only pre-defined agent lists. I would be willing to code something up in Java, but I would need a few pointers on how to get started.

I would appreciate any help to point me in the right direction, even if the answer is that this is not possible.
