Before you begin

Before you run BMC PATROL Agent License Utility, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

  • PATROL Agent is installed on every host from which you want to collect information.
  • One of the following files is stored on the host on which the PATROL Agent License utility is installed:
    • agents.ini: If you have installed PATROL Configuration Manager, use the agents.ini file. Copy the file to the <install_dir>\PATROL Licensing Report directory.

    • HostList.csv: If you have not installed PATROL Configuration Manager, create a file named HostList.csv. The HostList.csv file must include the following information about the PATROL Agent hosts.

      • Host names or IP addresses
      • Port numbers
      • Group names: This is a logical entity that is used to combine the PATROL Agents that have common credentials into a single group.You must provide the credentials for each group as an input while you run the script.

      For sample contents of the HostList.csv file, see Sample-HostList-csv-file. 

Warning

Note

If both files (agents.ini and HostList.csv) are copied to the directory where BMC PATROL Agent License utility is installed, the utility uses the agent.ini file as the input.
