+
+## Overview
+
+This collector monitors the health of LVM logical volumes. It relies on the [`lvs`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lvs.8.html) CLI tool but avoids directly executing the binary. Instead, it utilizes `ndsudo`, a Netdata helper specifically designed to run privileged commands securely within the Netdata environment. This approach eliminates the need to use `sudo`, improving security and potentially simplifying permission management.
+
+
+
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per logical volume
+
+These metrics refer to the LVM logical volume.
+
+Labels:
+
+| Label | Description |
+|:-----------|:----------------|
+| lv_name | Logical volume name |
+| vg_name | Volume group name |
+| volume_type | Type of the volume |
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| lvm.lv_data_space_utilization | utilization | % |
+| lvm.lv_metadata_space_utilization | utilization | % |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `go.d/lvm.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config go.d/lvm.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined globally: update_every.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| update_every | Data collection frequency. | 10 | no |
+| timeout | lvs binary execution timeout. | 2 | no |
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Custom update_every
+
+Allows you to override the default data collection interval.
+
+<details><summary>Config</summary>
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+ - name: lvm
+ update_every: 5 # Collect logical volume statistics every 5 seconds
+
+```
+</details>
+
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+To troubleshoot issues with the `lvm` collector, run the `go.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
+should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
+
+- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
+ your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
+
+ ```bash
+ cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
+ ```
+
+- Switch to the `netdata` user.
+
+ ```bash
+ sudo -u netdata -s
+ ```
+
+- Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
+
+ ```bash
+ ./go.d.plugin -d -m lvm
+ ```
+
+
