# Environment Variables
### NX_BRANCH and NX_CI_EXECUTION_ID
When running commands on CI, `nx-cloud` needs to know the current branch and the current CI execution ID (something that
uniquely identifies the current CI run or job). **For most CI providers, `nx-cloud` is able to determine both
automatically, and you don't need to do anything.** For others, you need to set the `NX_BRANCH` and `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ID`
env variables manually. You need to set them on the main job and on all agents, and the values have to match.
To make GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab integrations works, you need to set `NX_BRANCH` to the PR number, when the PR
number is available.
Nx Cloud uses `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ID` to match the agents and the main job. Sometimes you might have multiple
main jobs (e.g., when running CI on both Linux and Windows or when running the same commands against different versions
of Node.js or Java). In this case you can set the `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ENV` env variable on main jobs and agents. The main
job where the `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ENV` is set to, say, `macos`, will connect to the agents with the same env name.
### NX_RUN_GROUP
Older versions of `nx-cloud` used `NX_RUN_GROUP` instead of `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ID` and `NX_CI_EXECUTION_ENV`. It
served the same purpose.
### NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN
You can also configure the access token by setting the `NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment
variable. `NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN` takes precedence over the `accessToken` property. It's common to have a read-only
token stored in `nx.json` and a read-write token set via `NX_CLOUD_ACCESS_TOKEN` in CI. If you are using this
environment variable with Distributed Task Execution, the value on the main and agent jobs must match.
### NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION_AGENT_COUNT
The Nx Cloud plans distributed task execution based on the available information from the running agents. Due to
asynchronous nature of CI jobs, an agent might not have been created or started at the moment when DTE is initiated.
Setting `NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION_AGENT_COUNT` to say 8 will inform Nx Cloud to assume that there will be 8 agents
running. This can have an impact on better distribution of the tasks and allocation of the agents.
### NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION_STOP_AGENTS_ON_FAILURE
Setting `NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION_STOP_AGENTS_ON_FAILURE` to `true` will tell Nx Cloud to stop agents if a command
fails. When set to false (default value), you need to make sure to invoke `nx-cloud stop-all-agents` even if CI fails.
### NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION
Setting `NX_CLOUD_DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTION` to `true` enables distributed task execution.
### NX_CLOUD_ENCRYPTION_KEY
You can set the `encryptionKey` property in `nx.json` or set the `NX_CLOUD_ENCRYPTION_KEY` environment variable to
enable the e2e encryption of your artifacts. In this case, the artifacts will be encrypted/decrypted on your machine.
### NX_CLOUD_NO_TIMEOUTS
By default, Nx Cloud requests will time out after 10 seconds. `NX_CLOUD_NO_TIMEOUTS` disables the timeout.
### NX_VERBOSE_LOGGING
Setting `NX_VERBOSE_LOGGING` to true will output the debug information about agents communicating with the main job.
This can be useful for debugging unexpected cache misses and issues with on-prem setups.
