To add a second (or a third) Knox instance, go to Ambari, then to hosts tab, select the host on which you want to add a new Knox instance, click on the add button and select Knox.

For load balancing you need to use a load balancer in front of the several Knox instances.

Below are the steps you should perform to add/use multiple Knox Gateways.

1. Add Knox to the host, go to Ambari, then to hosts tab, select the host on which you want to add a new Knox instance, click on the add button and select Knox.

2. Configure Loadbalancer i.e. haproxy for Knox Loadbalancing.

Can we add an existing KNOX Service to Ambari?

Yes you can @Hemant Kumar Dindi.. You can do this by registering service, services components and hosts using Ambari APIs.
