 Description   

It would be very helpful to have Zabbix report on the size and free/allocated extents for Linux Volume Groups.  The complicating factor is that it seems that root access is needed to access that information.  But perhaps a helper program with limited capabilities could be used.

non root user can access lvm properties with `setcap` modify, according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/189054/how-to-obtain-info-about-physical-volume-as-non-root-user.

is a huge pain with  PVE behind client's firewall, which can only use active agent.
