Dedicate Bamboo Remote agent via properties

T January 3, 2016

Bamboo allows the ability to dedicate an agent to a specific project via the administration interface.

Is it possible to also dedicate a remote agent using configuration on the remote agent itself? Ideally I'd like to use something similar to how bamboo-capabilities.properties are used to define custom capabilities. 

This will allow a new remote agent to be automatically dedicated to a particular project on instantiation.

I'm also looking for this feature. According to this https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-3491 (Bamboo 5.6) you can assign a plan to an agent. However I'm not sure if the 'requirement' can override the agent based on specifying a different capability. I'd personally like to see the agent assigned plan to override anything specified in the requirements. Not sure if this is possible.

You can do this with the capabilities only. E.g. you could create a capability holding the project name and set a requirement on the project accordingly.

Of course you need to make sure you have no projects without requirements.

We were considering this as a fall back option. However I don't believe capabilities/requirements can be set at a project level. Requirements can only be set at a job level. Which means we'd need to manually set a requirement for every job within every plan of every project.
