      The following page
      has the following issues I noticed:

      1) foreground option not mentioned

      ./sbin/zabbix_agent2  -help
        -f	Run Zabbix agent in foreground (shorthand) (default true)
        -foreground
          	Run Zabbix agent in foreground (default true) 
      

      2) Following Runtime control options in documentation:

      userparameter reload
      Reload user parameters from the configuration file
      
      loglevel increase
      Increase log level
      
      loglevel decrease
      Decrease log level
      

      are different from the actual commands which have lower dash "_" symbol inside them

      ./sbin/zabbix_agent2 -R help
      2023/05/25 09:32:11.839086 Remote control interface, available commands:
      	log_level_increase - Increase log level
      	log_level_decrease - Decrease log level
      	userparameter_reload - Reload user parameters
      	metrics - List available metrics
      	version - Display Agent version
      	help - Display this help messag
      

      Also, I see no point of writing the description "Increase log level" for the command named:
      "loglevel_increase"

      3) The description of agent 2:

      DESCRIPTION
      zabbix_agent2 is an application for monitoring parameters of various services.
      

      could be much better.
      Zabbix server also can be called "an application for monitoring parameters of various services." Certainly it also must mention how this is different from agent 1.
