Description:
During installation of the agent the following message appears:

"Hostname to display

Enter an optional hostname to display for this agent/server within the MySQL Network Enterprise Dashboard."

This implies that the hostname is always optional but a hostname is a requirement if more than one agent is running on the same machine.

How to repeat:
Install the agent.

Suggested fix:
Change the message to read:

"Enter a hostname to display for this agent/server within the MySQL Network Enterprise Dashboard. (A hostname is optional unless you plan to run more than one agent on the same machine.)"
