Solutions

1. No action needed.
2. Set agentName in pinpoint.config if you want a human-readable display name in the Pinpoint UI.
3. Remember agentName is optional; null output is normal.

When it happens

Trigger: Agent startup, always emitted as part of the option dump.

Common situations: Verifying that an agentName override (-Dpinpoint.agentName or config) took effect; noticing it is null when a display name was expected.
