#### Feature flag

Agents should implement a [configuration option](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJjZotapacA3FkHc2sv_0wiChILi3uKnkwLTjtBmxwU), (`CENTRAL_CONFIG`) which lets users disable the central configuration polling.

### Zero-configuration support

To decrease initial setup costs per application,
APM agents should not require any configuration to be set
in order to start sending data to a local APM Server.
After the initial onboarding, users can still customize settings
if the defaults aren't fitting
but that should not stand in the way of the initial onboarding process.

Agents should be able to auto-detect the APM Server endpoint
by just defaulting to `http://localhost:8200/`.
Furthermore, if it's possible, agents should detect a sensible defaults for `service.name`
as well as the `service.version`.
