Hi All,

Ok. At the moment, there is no public extension for this use case.

So you need to create a custom python 2.0 extension that reads the value of the windows registry and send the value to Dynatrace as a metric :

> **[Dynatrace Extensions Python SDK](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/ingest-from/extensions/develop-your-extensions/data-sources/python)**
>
> Python library and a toolbox for building Python extensions for Dynatrace Extensions.
