Monitored Entity API for Host details

Monitored Entity API output for Virtual Machine is not showing serial number.

It is showing as "None" as shown below. What could be the reason?

And, is it possible to extract the serial number for the Virtual machine?

"additionalSystemInfo": [
{
"value": "1",
"key": "system.processor[0].cores.physical"
},
{
"value": "0",
"key": "system.processor[0].cache.l2.size"
},
{
"value": "None",
"key": "system.board.serial"
},
{

For some Operating System version, serial number is not available in the API output. This is mitigated by adding custom metadata to those VMs.
