That is how I do it too, via a bash script collecting details and uploading a CSV when systems boot, then having a cron job import them to RT via the RT-Extension-Assets-Import-CSV extension.
However, I am on 4.2 using the Best Practical Assets Extension, not 4.4 with native assets. > Well, there is, > but the searchable text entry requires you to know the asset number in order > to add it, which isn't too useful.
