Hi André, Currently, *autoregister.properties *does not have a capability to change the agent name. Agent name will be picked up based on the hostname of the machine where the agent is running.
I have verified that providing *agent.auto.register.environments=env1,env2 *works fine and I can see that agent is associated with the specified envs on Agents page.
