ESX Host Serial Numbers

Is there a way to report on serial numbers of the physical ESX hosts?  I can easily do name, esx version and build but the last thing needed would be the serial number (which vCenter knows).  Is it buried somewhere in the table views that I'm just missing it? 

BTW, I would LOVE to have the search bar in when creating tables.  Drilling through an endless hierarchy of objects can be quite time consuming!

    I´m pretty sure that license information is not collected. Will pass your search bar request along to Foglight core team for review.

    Thanks!

    Funny part about serial number... it shows so easily in vCenter, but it's actually populated differently by every HW vendor.  There is an enhancement request to add this, it just takes awhile since every hw vendor populates that value differently behind the scenes.
