the Nomad client's environment. By default a minimal environment is set including
a `PATH` appropriate for the operating system.
+### `fingerprint` Parameters
+
+- `name` `(string: "")` - The name of the fingerprinter the configuration
+ applies to. This field is required and is part of the block label.
+ It supports `"env_aws"`, `"env_azure"`, `"env_digitalocean"`, and `"env_gce"`.
+
+- `retry_attempts` `(int: 0)` - Specifies the maximum number of retry attempts
+ to make before giving up. This field supports `-1` for unlimited retries, but
+ we do not recommend `-1` as this may cause the client to hang indefinitely on
+ startup if the fingerprinting source is unavailable. The default value of `0`
+ means no retries are made.
+
+- `retry_interval` `(string: "2s")` - Specifies the amount of time to wait
+ between retry attempts.
+
+- `exit_on_failure` `(bool: false)` - Specifies whether the client should exit
+ if fingerprinter fails to probe the envrionment endpoint service.
+
+ Nomad tries to identify if its running within the named environment on startup
+ by probing the environment's metadata endpoint. If the endpoint is
+ unreachable, Nomad by default skips fingerprinting for that environment
+ and continue startup. Setting this option to `true` causes Nomad to exit
+ in this situation. This is useful if you want to ensure that Nomad
+ only starts when it can successfully fingerprint the environment.
