In the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/setup-javaagent.html#setup-jboss-wildfly) the manual setup for JBoss says that you have to add this lines to the standalone.conf file

```auto
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -javaagent:/path/to/elastic-apm-agent-<version>.jar"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.service_name=my-cool-service"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application_packages=org.example,org.another.example"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.server_url=http://localhost:8200"

```

and I wanto to add the environment, an the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/config-core.html#config-environment) says that I have to add this property

```auto
elastic.apm.environment

```

so, following the pattern to add the enviroment I have to add this line?

```auto
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Delastic.apm.environment=my-environment"

```
