Alternative Inventory Scanning of Datapower Gateway Appliances

This was raised by one of our customer teams, due to it leading to a significant impact on their ITAM inventory.

In order to take inventory of Datapower Gateway Appliances - this would be necessary to gather hardware and software data to draw IBM licensing conclusions - to my knowledge you must currently use the embedded ILMT scanner. 
I believe DataPower appliances currently embed said scanner, which can be enabled through settings - discussed here: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/automation/discussion/ilmt-for-virtual-appliances-api-connect-and-datapower-gateway-on-vmware#:~:text=Reply-,Hi%20Tommy%2C,-IBM%20Data%20Power

In order to get visibility over their Datapower Appliances, it was necessary to deploy a whole ILMT solution to inventory these machines.
Our own solutions cannot ingest the Datapower Appliance output, and the Appliances themselves cannot have our Inventory Agent installed upon them due to their locked-down nature.

I'd therefore request an alternative solution to gather the hardware and software inventory necessary for subcapacity licensing on these appliances - the ability to deploy an external Agent or an API which might gather that data instead, perhaps.

Thanks kindly!

Jack
