The agent communicates with the outside world through an HTTP API to ease the
development of 3rd party tools and interfaces. By default, the API is available
at TCP port 5001
on localhost
but can be configured differently.
To avoid unprivileged users to access the API, authentication is required.
FIXME: new authentication system wasn't merged yet: DataDog#939
Endpoints implemented so far (this list should be killed in favor of swagger at some point): * [GET] http://localhost/agent/version
