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

OPTIONS
       -c, --config config-file
              Use the alternate config-file instead of the default one.

       -R, --runtime-control runtime-option
              Perform administrative functions according to runtime-option.

           Runtime control options
               userparameter_reload
                   Reload user parameters from the configuration file

               log_level_increase
                   Increase log level

               log_level_decrease
                   Decrease log level

               help
                   List available runtime control options

               metrics
                   List available metrics
               version
                   Display version

       -p, --print
              Print known items and exit.  For each item  either  generic  de‐
              faults  are used, or specific defaults for testing are supplied.
              These defaults are listed in square brackets as item key parame‐
              ters.  Returned values are enclosed in square brackets and  pre‐
              fixed  with  the type of the returned value, separated by a pipe
              character.  For user parameters type is always t, as  the  agent
              can  not determine all possible return values.  Items, displayed
              as working, are not guaranteed to work from the Zabbix server or
              zabbix_get when querying a running agent daemon  as  permissions
              or environment may be different.  Returned value types are:

           d   Number with a decimal part.

           m   Not  supported.   This could be caused by querying an item that
               only works in the active mode like a log monitoring item or  an
               item  that  requires multiple collected values.  Permission is‐
               sues or incorrect user parameters could also result in the  not
               supported state.

           s   Text.  Maximum length not limited.

           t   Text.  Same as s.

           u   Unsigned integer.

       -t, --test item-key
              Test single item and exit.  See --print for output description.

       -v, --verbose
              Enable verbose output when test item or print known items.

       -T, --test-config
              Validate configuration file and exit.

       -h, --help
              Display this help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Output version information and exit.
