The `watch` command provides a mechanism to watch for changes in a particular data view (list of nodes, service members, key value, etc) and to invoke a process with the latest values of the view. If no process is specified, the current values are dumped to stdout which can be a useful way to inspect data in Consul.

|
The `watch` command provides a mechanism to watch for changes in a particular

|
|
a process with the latest values of the view. If no process is specified,
|
|
the current values are dumped to STDOUT which can be a useful way to inspect
|
|
data in Consul.
