Monitoring Bamboo remote Agents

Steven Parsons

Does anyone have a good solution to monitor Bamboo remote agents? I know you can see if they are online within the adminsitration area, but that does not help if you are not in the website, or out of the office.

I have searched the Documentation and all I have found is two requests for the feature. I can't find any additional info.

thanks in advance.

There isn't a REST API for agents. I'm not a plugin developer, but it looks like it's possible to write plugins to get agent stats since there are Bamboo plugins for that like this one: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.pronetbeans.bamboo.agentutils-basic/version/1

What I would do is write tools that make direct database queries since all that information is in those tables as to what agents are online/offline, what jobs are running, etc. Or you could write a script to access the agent status page and parse the HTML for relevant information. Note that both these solutions are rather hacky as you are accessing information in a format that can (and probably will) change between Bamboo releases.

thanks for tip Brent. I was hoping someone would have made a plugin. I hate to have to hack it everytime Atlassian make a new release.

Here's to hoping Atlassian can add it to the next release

Hey Brent, do you know where in the database I can find the remote agents?

Brent Villalobo1

Hey Jared. At least on Bamboo v4.3, the agent information is found in the QUEUE table. You can cross-referrence those with the BUILDRESULTSUMMARY table if you want to find specifics on what job is actually running on the agents.

I did manage to find a plugin that notifies if the agent goes offline. You can get it from the market place.

It works with Bamboo 5 as well

To pro-actively monitor and manage agents I have released a free and open source plugin until Atlassian fills the gap.

The use of UUID tokens over credentials allows scripted interactions from tools like monit.

Hi Ed, any chance of getting this updated for the latest versions of Bamboo?

Thanks a lot

I would also like this to be updated for the latest versions of Bamboo - particularly 5.12.3.1.
