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
117+
118+
To decrease onboarding friction,
119+
APM agents should not require any configuration to send data to a local APM Server.
120+
After onboarding, users can customize settings for which the defaults aren't appropriate.
121+
122+
Agents should be able to auto-detect the APM Server endpoint
123+
by just defaulting to `http://localhost:8200/`.
124+
Furthermore, if it's possible, agents should detect sensible defaults for `service.name`
125+
and `service.version`.
