+## System environment variables
+- Example
+
+ Override `agent.application_code` and `logging.level` by this.
+
+```
+# The service name in UI
+agent.service_name=${SW_AGENT_NAME:Your_ApplicationName}
+
+# Logging level
+logging.level=${SW_LOGGING_LEVEL:INFO}
+```
+
+If the `SW_AGENT_NAME ` environment variable exists in your operating system
and its value is `skywalking-agent-demo`,
+then the value of `agent.service_name` here will be overwritten to
`skywalking-agent-demo`, otherwise, it will be set to `Your_ApplicationName`.
+
+By the way, Placeholder nesting is also supported, like
`${SW_AGENT_NAME:${ANOTHER_AGENT_NAME:Your_ApplicationName}}`.
+In this case, if the `SW_AGENT_NAME ` environment variable not exists, but the
```ANOTHER_AGENT_NAME```
+environment variable exists and its value is `skywalking-agent-demo`, then the
value of `agent.service_name` here will be overwritten to
`skywalking-agent-demo`,otherwise, it will be set to `Your_ApplicationName`.
