How to pass multiple parameters upon installation of bamboo remote agent

Question

Hi,

newbie in multiple bamboo remote agent installation here.

I'm curious on how to install multiple remote agents without modifying the wrapper.conf file in Windows. According to How to install multiple Bamboo remote agents on Windows machine | Bamboo | Atlassian Support, we can specify wrapper.name and wrapper.displayname as parameter. but when I try the following command here, it will report FATAL status with following error msg: The argument 'wrapper.name' is not a valid property name-value pair.

java -Dbamboo.home="C:\blabla\bamboo-agent-home-2" -Dwrapper.name="bamboo-remote-agent-2" -Dwrapper.displayname"Bamboo Remote Agent 2" -jar atlassian-bamboo-agent-installer-10.2.3.jar http://servername:port installntservice

When I tried to comma delimit the parameters, it will give me a very long file name consisting of wrapper name and wrapper display name as the agent directory

java -Dbamboo.home="C:\blabla\bamboo-agent-home-2",wrapper.name="bamboo-remote-agent-2",wrapper.displayname"Bamboo Remote Agent 2" -jar atlassian-bamboo-agent-installer-10.2.3.jar http://servername:port installntservice

Please shed some light on this. Thanks in advance!

Hello Monika,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

wrapper.displayname and wrapper.name are not JVM parameters. Hence I don't think so you can pass them as below.

-Dwrapper.name="bamboo-remote-agent-2" -Dwrapper.displayname"Bamboo Remote Agent 2"

Also as you are using installntservice in the command, these properties have to be modified before the agent is installed as service.

Read the below warning in wrapper.conf file

#********************************************************************
# Wrapper Windows Service Properties
#********************************************************************
# WARNING - Do not modify any of these properties when an application
# using this configuration file has been installed as a service.
# Please uninstall the service before modifying this section. The
# service can then be reinstalled.

You'll have to follow the steps defined at https://support.atlassian.com/bamboo/kb/how-to-install-multiple-bamboo-remote-agents-on-windows-machine/ to install multiple agents on the same server which needs wrapper.conf modification when the folders are created.

You'll have to use the install command which will create the folder structure and the modify the wrapper.conf and then install it as a service post that.
