SCOM 2019 - How to show Registry Value in an Alert Description

This was an issue since SCOM2007, has this been build in SCOM2019:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0fbb1c60-b0eb-4589-ab30-9abff9b6d797/adding-computer-description-from-registry-to-alert-information?forum=operationsmanagerextensibility

Our Servers have some pertinent details created as Registry entrees.
We would like for these to be shown on the Console when that server generates any alert.

Has anyone figured out a way to show Registry Entries in a Alert Description section in the SCOM Console or maybe as extra columns in the console?

If this is not possible in Realtime of Alert Generation, can there be a way to import these data into the console "after" the Alert has been generated?

I guess it is possible to have those entries add as attributes to Windows Computer class so you would have them already in Windows Computer view and with some PowerShell script get this info compared with MonitoringObjectName, MonitoringObjectPath or NetbiosComputerName fields in Alerts and Windows Computers objects and write those matched fields into Custom Fields in Alert.

I am updating alerts similarly with Orchestrator but don't have those fields in each computer but in one data source

Hi Fursel,

I have already created Attributes to a new Windows Computer_Extended Class. Have used these attributes to create Groups for Servers running specific Applications and use this in E-Mail Notifications.
Also have purchased MP Author Pro and am trying to play with Kevin Holman's Fragments.

I don't have any experience in using SCORH (Orchestrator) yet and can't find referencing documents regarding how to achieve this.
Do you have any such resource or would you be able to share your steps with me to get me started ?

Short answer : you can't.

Even with an extended Windows Computer class, that would require rewriting every (sealed) rule and monitor for which you want to display these infos in custom MPs...

Orchestrator is just a way of running scripts when a new alert shows up. That script would add data to the alert Custom Fields, but not in its description. You could achieve the same result with a command type notification channel that would trigger after a new alert, or with a connector.

Unfortunately Uservoice has been discontinued and has not been replaced, as far as I know
