Is there a way to start Bamboo without agents

[Ismail Sanni]

Hi Bamboo users,

If I may ask, is there a way to start bamboo without the agents without going to the GUI?

Thanks

Hello Ismail,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

To understand your ask here, You have a Bamboo Instance connected to a lot of agents. You want to start Bamboo where none of the agents gets connected without doing anything on the Bamboo UI. Is my understanding correct?

What exactly is your use case ?

@Shashank Kumar 
Apologies for the late reply. I have a sandbox instance that steals builds from production, starting the service on the sandbox might after production. I want to start Bamboo without the agents.

Hello Ismail,

Thanks for the clarification.

Use steps defined here to stop automatic builds to run in sandbox env:  https://support.atlassian.com/bamboo/kb/how-to-start-up-bamboo-with-build-plans-deployment-environments-branch-detection-and-build-status-updates-disabled/ 

If you don't want any agents to connect to Bamboo then inside bamboo.cfg.xml file you can update the below 2 parameters and put incorrect value so that agents don't connect to the Bamboo server.

<property name="bamboo.jms.broker.client.uri">failover:(tcp://1.1.0.4:54663?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=90000)?initialReconnectDelay=15000&amp;maxReconnectAttempts=10</property>
<property name="bamboo.jms.broker.uri">nio://0.0.0.0:54663</property>
