Description
### Relevant telegraf.conf
```toml
na
```
### Logs from Telegraf
```text
na
```
### System info
Telegraf 1.32.1
### Docker
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
na
### Expected behavior
Agent documenation https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#agent should explain, that option `always_include_global_tags` is only working for [[inputs]] and NOT for [[outputs]]. You can set `taginclude` also for outputs and so we thought, that `always_include_global_tags` will also work here.
Unfortunately there does not exist any option like `always_include_global_tags` for [[outputs]]
### Actual behavior
na
### Additional info
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with docs/CONFIGURATION.md and its agent section, which the issue links directly. Clarify there that always_include_global_tags applies only to [[inputs]] and not [[outputs]], and that outputs have no equivalent option; done means the documentation removes this ambiguity.
