How to get remote agent status details for one particular agent using bamboo rest api?

Question

I am able to get the status of all the build agents using the command

curl -k -H "Content-type: application/json" -X GET https://devci-adbamboo.corp.aal.au/bamboo/rest/api/latest/agent/ -u username:password

But i only need one agent status at a time. I tried  passing id as the path variable and also uuid of that particular agent but i am getting 404 response.

Can anyone please help me out with it?

Hi @Staicy susan mathew

The rest API for agents does not have the option to filter a specific agent, but that can be achieved by other tools like JQ (JSON processor). Let me share an example with you where I filter the agent called Walter White:

$ curl -u admin:password -X GET http://<BAMBOO_URL>/rest/api/latest/agent | jq -r '.[] | select(.name | contains ("Walter White"))'

% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 474 0 474 0 0 9030 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 9115

{
"id": 5111810,
"name": "Walter White",
"type": "LOCAL",
"active": true,
"enabled": true,
"busy": false
}

As a result, I get just the agent I needed. The same strategy could be used to filter by other fields.

I hope it helps.
