To set up a Java Agent to automatically give unique names to nodes for the application, add the following element to the /conf/controller-info.xml file.

<auto-naming>true</auto-naming>

Example using a 4.2.14.0 Agent:

Add the following element to the /AppServerAgent-4.2.14.0/ver4.2.14.0/conf/controller-info.xml file:
- ```
<auto-naming>true</auto-naming>
```
Restart the JVM.
Node names will be listed as null in the Controller UI until the server is started. Naming convention is application_server@host.
