      In the current documentation for system.hw.chassis:
      Root permissions are required because the value is acquired by reading from sysfs or memory.

      May I suggest a workaround if sysfs is available? I've added the following block to the systemd service of the zabbix agent:

      [Service]
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chgrp zabbix /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chmod g+r /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI

      With this change the zabbix user is able to read /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI and system.hw.chassis is supported.

      Kind regards,
      Hubert
