Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using a quickstarter that runs nginx most of the APM solutions out there that implement autodiscovery define the service discovered name as "_" or "localhost". It should have a better meaningful name like "gateway" or "nginx" or the name of the quickstarter like "nginx-ionic" or "gateway-ionic".

Describe the solution you'd like
Set the nginx.conf attribute "service_name" to something meaningful instead of "_".

Describe alternatives you've considered
I would like to gather some suggestions to not only be me deciding on what names should be the default.

Research direction

Review the nginx configuration files in be-gateway-nginx/files/docker/nginx.conf, fe-ionic/files/docker/nginx.vh.default.conf.nginx, and fe-angular/files/docker/nginx.vh.default.conf.nginx. Compare their current service_name settings and review the existing issue discussion before choosing a consistent naming approach. Done means all three quickstarters use meaningful service names for APM autodiscovery.
