The Agent endpoints are used to interact with the local Consul agent. Usually,
|

services and checks are registered with an agent which then takes on the
|

burden of keeping that data synchronized with the cluster. For example, the
|
||||
agent registers services and checks with the Catalog and performs anti-entropy

to recover from outages.
