Policy Based Replication - Need a way to monitor how far out of sync destination volumes are from the source volumes for different Volume Groups

When adding IBM flashsystems to a monitoring tool (we have Zabbix), it can see the Volume Groups made on the flashsystems, but it is not able to get any information that shows how far out of sync the destination volumes are from the source volumes in those Volume Groups.


We need the flashsystems to be able to report how far out of sync destination volumes are from the source volumes for different Volume Groups to our monitoring tool so we can set certain thresholds and be alerted if it goes outside those thresholds.


This would allow us to set a higher threshold in monitoring than what the RPO is set to on the replication policy, and then we would only have to worry about replication not working when our monitoring tool hits its' threshold, and we could disregard the email alerts about Volume Groups' RPO being exceeded (see additional notes for more details about why we do not just raise the RPO times).


If a Volume Group can be picked up by a monitoring tool, and people have Policy Based Replication setup on certain Volume Groups, the monitoring tool should report how far out of sync replication is, so can you please find a way to add this feature in a future release?
