Is there any option to fetch Volume Group (VG) Usage and Free space under [[inputs.disk]] plugin

[rakeshmooreboyana]

Relevant telegraf.conf:

Read metrics about disk usage by mount point

[[inputs.disk]]

By default stats will be gathered for all mount points.

Set mount_points will restrict the stats to only the specified mount points.

mount_points = ["/"]

Ignore mount points by filesystem type.

ignore_fs = ["tmpfs", "devtmpfs", "devfs"]

System info:

[Include Telegraf version, operating system name, and other relevant details]
Telegraf v1.7.1 , Ubuntu jessie/sid

Steps to reproduce:

I assume you are referring to LVM volume groups? We don't have a plugin for this but there is an open feature request: #345

Easiest way to get this info currently is to create an script for the exec plugin that calls the vgs tool and converts the output to line protocol.
