BMC Network Automation has point-and-click reporting capability. To build the Network Automation license report:

SSH to the BDA Manager (login as root)
cd /app/clarity/manager_scripts/bin/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/clarity/lib
And then run the license report as follows:
./get_nodes.pl >/tmp/<manager_hostname>.csv
Replace <manager_hostname> in the above command with the actual hostname of the BDA Manager. Provide the resulting csv file from /tmp
Important: Repeat this procedure on each BDA Manager (including all Lab, Dev, QA/UAT and each Production Manager that is deployed).
Example:

The csv file generated will be formatted as follows (when opened in Excel). Example:

Each row represents a BDA agent and includes the hostname of the machine where the agent is installed.
