 checks. A health check is considered to be application-level if it is associated with a

 Review the [health checks tutorial](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/consul/service-registration-health-checks)
 to get a more complete example on how to leverage health check capabilities in Consul.
 
 A check is defined in a configuration file or added at runtime over the HTTP interface. Checks
 created via the HTTP interface persist with that node.
 
-There are several different kinds of checks:
+There are severeal types of checks:
 
-- Script + Interval - These checks depend on invoking an external application
-  that performs the health check, exits with an appropriate exit code, and potentially
-  generates some output. A script is paired with an invocation interval (e.g.
-  every 30 seconds). This is similar to the Nagios plugin system. The output of
-  a script check is limited to 4KB. Output larger than this will be truncated.
-  By default, Script checks will be configured with a timeout equal to 30 seconds.
-  It is possible to configure a custom Script check timeout value by specifying the
-  `timeout` field in the check definition. When the timeout is reached on Windows,
-  Consul will wait for any child processes spawned by the script to finish. For any
-  other system, Consul will attempt to force-kill the script and any child processes
-  it has spawned once the timeout has passed.
-  In Consul 0.9.0 and later, script checks are not enabled by default. To use them you
-  can either use :
+- [`Script + Interval`](#script-check) - These checks invoke an external application
+  that performs the health check.
 
-  - [`enable_local_script_checks`](/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_enable_local_script_checks):
-    enable script checks defined in local config files. Script checks defined via the HTTP
-    API will not be allowed.
-  - [`enable_script_checks`](/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_enable_script_checks): enable
-    script checks regardless of how they are defined.
+- [`HTTP + Interval`](#http-check) - These checks make an HTTP `GET` request to the specified URL 
+  in the health check definition.
+  
+- [`TCP + Interval`](#tcp-check) - These checks attempt a TCP connection to the specified
+  address and port in the health check definition.
 
-  ~> **Security Warning:** Enabling script checks in some configurations may
-  introduce a remote execution vulnerability which is known to be targeted by
-  malware. We strongly recommend `enable_local_script_checks` instead. See [this
-  blog post](https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/protecting-consul-from-rce-risk-in-specific-configurations)
-  for more details.
+- [`UDP + Interval`](#udp-check) - These checks direct the client to periodically send UDP datagrams
+  to the specified address and port in the health check definition.
+  
+- [`OSService + Interval`](#osservice-check) - These checks periodically direct the Consul agent to monitor
+  the health of a service running on the host operating system.
 
-- `HTTP + Interval` - These checks make an HTTP `GET` request to the specified URL,
-  waiting the specified `interval` amount of time between requests (eg. 30 seconds).
-  The status of the service depends on the HTTP response code: any `2xx` code is
-  considered passing, a `429 Too ManyRequests` is a warning, and anything else is
-  a failure. This type of check
-  should be preferred over a script that uses `curl` or another external process
-  to check a simple HTTP operation. By default, HTTP checks are `GET` requests
-  unless the `method` field specifies a different method. Additional header
-  fields can be set through the `header` field which is a map of lists of
-  strings, e.g. `{"x-foo": ["bar", "baz"]}`. By default, HTTP checks will be
-  configured with a request timeout equal to 10 seconds.
+- [`Time to Live (TTL)`](#time-to-live-ttl-check) - These checks attempt an HTTP connection after a given TTL elapses.
+  
+- [`Docker + Interval`](#docker-check) - These checks invoke an external application that
+  is packaged within a Docker container.
 
-  It is possible to configure a custom HTTP check timeout value by
-  specifying the `timeout` field in the check definition. The output of the
-  check is limited to roughly 4KB. Responses larger than this will be truncated.
-  HTTP checks also support TLS. By default, a valid TLS certificate is expected.
-  Certificate verification can be turned off by setting the `tls_skip_verify`
-  field to `true` in the check definition. When using TLS, the SNI will be set
-  automatically from the URL if it uses a hostname (as opposed to an IP address);
-  the value can be overridden by setting `tls_server_name`.
-
-  Consul follows HTTP redirects by default. Set the `disable_redirects` field to
-  `true` to disable redirects.
-
-- `TCP + Interval` - These checks make a TCP connection attempt to the specified
-  IP/hostname and port, waiting `interval` amount of time between attempts
-  (e.g. 30 seconds). If no hostname
-  is specified, it defaults to "localhost". The status of the service depends on
-  whether the connection attempt is successful (ie - the port is currently
-  accepting connections). If the connection is accepted, the status is
-  `success`, otherwise the status is `critical`. In the case of a hostname that
-  resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, an attempt will be made to both
-  addresses, and the first successful connection attempt will result in a
-  successful check. This type of check should be preferred over a script that
-  uses `netcat` or another external process to check a simple socket operation.
-  By default, TCP checks will be configured with a request timeout of 10 seconds.
-  It is possible to configure a custom TCP check timeout value by specifying the
-  `timeout` field in the check definition.
-
-- `UDP + Interval` - These checks direct the client to periodically send UDP datagrams
-  to the specified IP/hostname and port. The duration specified in the `interval` field sets the amount of time 
-  between attempts, such as `30s` to indicate 30 seconds. The check is logged as healthy if any response from the UDP server is received. Any other result sets the status to `critical`.
-   For UDP checks, the default value for the `timeout` field is `10s`, but you can configure a custom timeout by specifying the
-  `timeout` field in the check definition. If any timeout on read exists, the check is still considered healthy.
-
-- `Time to Live (TTL)` ((#ttl)) - These checks retain their last known state
-  for a given TTL. The state of the check must be updated periodically over the HTTP
-  interface. If an external system fails to update the status within a given TTL,
-  the check is set to the failed state. This mechanism, conceptually similar to a
-  dead man's switch, relies on the application to directly report its health. For
-  example, a healthy app can periodically `PUT` a status update to the HTTP endpoint;
-  if the app fails, the TTL will expire and the health check enters a critical state.
-  The endpoints used to update health information for a given check are: [pass](/api-docs/agent/check#ttl-check-pass),
-  [warn](/api-docs/agent/check#ttl-check-warn), [fail](/api-docs/agent/check#ttl-check-fail),
-  and [update](/api-docs/agent/check#ttl-check-update). TTL checks also persist their
-  last known status to disk. This allows the Consul agent to restore the last known
-  status of the check across restarts. Persisted check status is valid through the
-  end of the TTL from the time of the last check.
-
-- `Docker + Interval` - These checks depend on invoking an external application which
-  is packaged within a Docker Container. The application is triggered within the running
-  container via the Docker Exec API. We expect that the Consul agent user has access
-  to either the Docker HTTP API or the unix socket. Consul uses `$DOCKER_HOST` to
-  determine the Docker API endpoint. The application is expected to run, perform a health
-  check of the service running inside the container, and exit with an appropriate exit code.
-  The check should be paired with an invocation interval. The shell on which the check
-  has to be performed is configurable which makes it possible to run containers which
-  have different shells on the same host. Check output for Docker is limited to
-  4KB. Any output larger than this will be truncated. In Consul 0.9.0 and later, the agent
-  must be configured with [`enable_script_checks`](/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_enable_script_checks)
-  set to `true` in order to enable Docker health checks.
-
-- `gRPC + Interval` - These checks are intended for applications that support the standard
+- [`gRPC + Interval`](#grpc-check) - These checks are intended for applications that support the standard
   [gRPC health checking protocol](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/health-checking.md).
-  The state of the check will be updated by probing the configured endpoint, waiting `interval`
-  amount of time between probes (eg. 30 seconds). By default, gRPC checks will be configured
-  with a default timeout of 10 seconds.
-  It is possible to configure a custom timeout value by specifying the `timeout` field in
-  the check definition. gRPC checks will default to not using TLS, but TLS can be enabled by
-  setting `grpc_use_tls` in the check definition. If TLS is enabled, then by default, a valid
-  TLS certificate is expected. Certificate verification can be turned off by setting the
-  `tls_skip_verify` field to `true` in the check definition.
-  To check on a specific service instead of the whole gRPC server, add the service identifier after the `gRPC` check's endpoint in the following format `/:service_identifier`.
 
-- `H2ping + Interval` - These checks test an endpoint that uses http2
-  by connecting to the endpoint and sending a ping frame. TLS is assumed to be configured by default.
-  To disable TLS and use h2c, set `h2ping_use_tls` to `false`. If the ping is successful
-  within a specified timeout, then the check is updated as passing.
-  The timeout defaults to 10 seconds, but is configurable using the `timeout` field. If TLS is enabled a valid
-  certificate is required, unless `tls_skip_verify` is set to `true`.
-  The check will be run on the interval specified by the `interval` field.
+- [`H2ping + Interval`](#h2ping-check) - These checks test an endpoint that uses HTTP/2
+  by connecting to the endpoint and sending a ping frame.
 
-- `Alias` - These checks alias the health state of another registered
-  node or service. The state of the check will be updated asynchronously, but is
-  nearly instant. For aliased services on the same agent, the local state is monitored
-  and no additional network resources are consumed. For other services and nodes,
-  the check maintains a blocking query over the agent's connection with a current
-  server and allows stale requests. If there are any errors in watching the aliased
-  node or service, the check state will be critical. For the blocking query, the
-  check will use the ACL token set on the service or check definition or otherwise
-  will fall back to the default ACL token set with the agent (`acl_token`).
+- [`Alias`](#alias-check) - These checks alias the health state of another registered
+  node or service.
