### Question
- What do you want to know?
What is the proper ${SW} syntax to set the Skywalking Agent instance name in
the `agent.config` file?
___
### Bug
- Which version of SkyWalking, OS and JRE?
8.0.1
- Which company or project?
- What happen?
If possible, provide a way for reproducing the error. e.g. demo application,
component version.
I am unable to set the instance name (`agent.instance_name`) from the
`agent.config` file. No matter what configuration values I set the Instance
Name is set to `UUID@hostname`.
I have attempted the following without success:
```
agent.instance_name=${SW_AGENT_INSTANCE_NAME:<value>}
agent.instance_name=${SW_AGENT_INSTANCE:<value>}
agent.instance_name=${SW_INSTANCE_NAME:<value>}
agent.instance_name=${SW_INSTANCE:<value>}
```
Am I entering the incorrect SW name or does the order of when
agent.instance_name is listed?
Setting agent.instance_name value at the Agent Options level appears to work
as expected (e.g.
`-javaagent:/path/to/skywalking-agent.jar=agent.instance_name=<value>`).
___
### Requirement or improvement
- Please describe about your requirements or improvement suggestions.
I would prefer to be able to set the `agent.instance_name` value in the
`agent.config` file.
