A service definition must include a `name` and may optionally provide
an `id`, `tags`, `address`, `port`, and `check`. The `id` is set to the `name` if not
provided. It is required that all services have a unique ID per node, so if names

Note: there is more information about [checks here](/docs/agent/checks.html).
The `enableTagOverride` can optionally specified to disable the antientropy feature for
this service. If `enableTagOverride` is set to TRUE then external agents can
reregister this service and modify the tags. Subsequent local sync operations
by this agent will ignore the updated tags. For instance: If an external agent
modified both the tags and the port for this service and `enableTagOverride`
was set to TRUE then after the next sync cycle the service's port would revert
to the original value but the tags would maintain the updated value. As a
counter example: If an external agent modified both the tags and port for this
service and `enableTagOverride` was set to FALSE then after the next sync
cycle the service's port AND the tags would revert to the original value and
all modifications would be lost. It's important to note that this applies only
to the locally registered service. If you have multiple nodes all registering
the same service their `enableTagOverride` configuration and all other service
configuration items are independant of one another. Updating the tags for
the service registered on one node is independant of the same service (by name)
registered on another node. If `enableTagOverride` is not specified the default
value is false.
To configure a service, either provide it as a `-config-file` option to the
agent or place it inside the `-config-dir` of the agent. The file must
end in the ".json" extension to be loaded by Consul. Check definitions can
