Yes

A clear and concise description of the issue.

When using https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=zabbix the installation comes with Zabbix agent 1, which does not handle LXC memory utilization correctly.

This can be fixed by modifying Zabbix parameters and template or by installing Zabbix agent 2:

I fixed the issues for myself by uninstalling Zabbix agent (1) from the Zabbix server and installing Zabbix agent 2.

Could the script be changed so it uses Zabbix Agent 2 by default?

What settings are you currently utilizing?

Default Settings

Which Linux distribution are you employing?

Debian 12

If relevant, including screenshots or a code block can be helpful in clarifying the issue.

No response

Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

Install Zabbix LXC using default settings, log into Zabbix.
