Settings.json with environment variables

It looks to be possible to set the settings.json path via environment variables but the document doesn't have details on this. Can you add this to the docs or let me know what the environment variable should be named?

The location of the settings.json file is not configurable via environment variables.
The settings.json file is implicitly found at the paths specified at https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-monitor/blob/main/documentation/configuration/configuration-sources.md?plain=1#L9. It can also be implicitly loaded from the C:\ProgramData\dotnet-monitor directory (on Windows) or the /etc/dotnet-monitor directory (on non-Windows); I will update the docs to reflect this information.
You can also specify a path to a settings.json file via the --configuration-file-path command line switch: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-monitor/blob/main/documentation/configuration/configuration-sources.md?plain=1#L18
bummer I was really hoping to use the environment variable. thanks for the clarification.
