I wrote a quick script the other day to pull some SCOM Alert data for testing and thought I’d share a summarized version for anyone looking for easy options to extract their SCOM data.

Customizing the UE4 Crash Report Client

Crash Report Client is an Unreal Engine tool that allows developers to capture C++ crash reports from supported platforms.
