NetBrain currently does not provide a way to export the devices shown on a map into a structured inventory host file suitable for automation platforms such as Ansible. Users must manually compile device lists and connection order, which is time-consuming and error-prone for large or interconnected networks. This enhancement proposes an export capability that generates an inventory host file directly from a map, reflecting the topology and connection order of devices, with the ability to exclude specific devices or device types from the output. Customers managing large-scale automation workflows would benefit from reduced manual effort and more accurate, up-to-date inventory files that align with their network topology and change management sequencing needs.
