+
+* `allow_stale` - (Optional) A boolean value that indicates whether or not this
+  check should require the health information come from the Consul leader node.
+  For scalability reasons, this value defaults to `false`.  See below for
+  details on detecting the staleness of health information.
+
+* `ca_chain` - (Optional) A path to a file containing all the certificate
+  authorities that should be loaded to validate the remote certificate (required
+  when `http_addr` is a TLS-enabled endpoint).
+
+* `certificate_file` - (Optional) A path to a file containing the client
+  certificate that will be presented to the remote server (required when
+  `http_addr` is a TLS-enabled endpoint).
+
+* `check_blacklist` - (Optional) A list of check names to exclude from the
+  result of checks (i.e. no metrics will be generated by whose check name is in
+  the `check_blacklist`).  This blacklist is applied to the `node`,
+  `service`, and `state` check modes.
+
+* `ciphers` - (Optional) A list of ciphers to be used in the TLS protocol
+  (only used when `http_addr` is a TLS-enabled endpoint).
+
+* `dc` - (Optional) Explicitly name the Consul datacenter to use.  The default
+  value is an empty string.  When an empty value is specified, the Consul
+  datacenter of the agent at the `http_addr` is implicitly used.
+
+* `headers` - (Optional) A map of the HTTP headers to be sent when executing the
+  check.  NOTE: the `headers` attribute is processed last and will takes
+  precidence over any other derived value that is transmitted as an HTTP header
+  to Consul (i.e. it is possible to override the `acl_token` by setting a
+  headers value).
+
+* `http_addr` - (Optional) The Consul HTTP endpoint to to query for health
+  information.  The default value is `http://consul.service.consul:8500`.  The
+  scheme must change from `http` to `https` when the endpoint has been
+  TLS-enabled.
+
+* `key_file` - (Optional) A path to a file containing key to be used in
+  conjunction with the cilent certificate (required when `http_addr` is a
+  TLS-enabled endpoint).
+
+* `node` - (Optional) Check the health of this node.  The value can be either a
+  Consul Node ID (Consul Version >= 0.7.4) or Node Name.  See also the
+  `service_blacklist`, `node_blacklist`, and `check_blacklist` attributes.  This
+  attribute conflicts with the `service` and `state` attributes.
+
+* `node_blacklist` - (Optional) A list of node IDs or node names to exclude from
+  the results of checks (i.e. no metrics will be generated from nodes in the
+  `node_blacklist`).  This blacklist is applied to the `node`, `service`, and
+  `state` check modes.
+
+* `service` - (Optional) Check the cluster-wide health of this named service.
+  See also the `service_blacklist`, `node_blacklist`, and `check_blacklist`
+  attributes.  This attribute conflicts with the `node` and `state` attributes.
+
+* `service_blacklist` - (Optional) A list of service names to exclude from the
+  result of checks (i.e. no metrics will be generated by services whose service
+  name is in the `service_blacklist`).  This blacklist is applied to the `node`,
+  `service`, and `state` check modes.
+
+* `state` - (Optional) A Circonus check to monitor Consul checks across the
+  entire Consul cluster.  This value may be either `passing`, `warning`, or
+  `critical`.  This `consul` check mode is intended to act as the cluster check
+  of last resort.  This check type is useful when first starting and is intended
+  to act as a check of last resort before transitioning to explicitly defined
+  checks for individual services or nodes.  The metrics returned from check will
+  be sorted based on the `CreateIndex` of the entry in order to have a stable
+  set of metrics in the array of returned values.  See also the
+  `service_blacklist`, `node_blacklist`, and `check_blacklist` attributes.  This
+  attribute conflicts with the `node` and `state` attributes.
+
+Available metrics depend on the consul check being performed (`node`, `service`,
+or `state`).  In addition to the data avilable from the endpoints, the `consul`
+check also returns a set of metrics that are a variant of:
+`{Num,Pct}{,Passing,Warning,Critical}{Checks,Nodes,Services}` (see the
+`GLOB_BRACE` section of your local `glob(3)` documentation).
+
+Example Consul check (partial metrics collection):
+
+```
+resource "circonus_check" "consul_server" {
+  active = true
+  name = "%s"
+  period = "60s"
+
+  collector {
+    # Collector ID must be an Enterprise broker able to reach the Consul agent
+    # listed in `http_addr`.
+    id = "/broker/2110"
+  }
+
+  consul {
+    service = "consul"
+
+    # Other consul check modes:
+    # node = "consul1"
+    # state = "critical"
+  }
+
+  metric {
+    name = "NumNodes"
+    tags = [ "source:consul", "lifecycle:unittest" ]
+    type = "numeric"
+  }
+
+  metric {
+    name = "LastContact"
+    tags = [ "source:consul", "lifecycle:unittest" ]
+    type = "numeric"
+    unit = "seconds"
+  }
+
+  metric {
+    name = "Index"
+    tags = [ "source:consul", "lifecycle:unittest" ]
+    type = "numeric"
+    unit = "transactions"
+  }
+
+  metric {
+    name = "KnownLeader"
+    tags = [ "source:consul", "lifecycle:unittest" ]
+    type = "text"
+  }
+
+  tags = [ "source:consul", "lifecycle:unittest" ]
+}
+```
