- agentName

Error message

- agentName: {}

What it means

Info log in DefaultAgent.dumpAgentOption: dumps the effective agent configuration at startup, including the configured agentName, so users can verify which options the running agent actually picked up.

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.
