How to make an offline remote agent online?

Tem Ed July 7, 2019

I restarted my system and found out that my remote agent has been turned offline.

A post suggested to start it again using the batch file. I did and it shows:

C:\Agent\bin>StartBambooAgent-NT.bat
ERROR | wrapper | 2019/07/07 22:51:49 | The Bamboo Remote Agent service is already running with status: RUNNING
Press any key to continue . . .

So i looked for error in the log file (atlassian-bamboo-agent.log.1). This is what I found (it keeps on repeating):

Hi @Tem Ed

It is possible that your agent was installed as a service and the service is attempting to reestablish the agent process over and over.


It is also possible that your Bamboo URL or IP address was changed. This could cause your agent to fail the attempt to connect with the Bamboo server.

 

Things I would check:

  1. Is the agent running as a service? If yes, try to restart it from windows services admin tool.
  2. If it does not work:
    1. Are there any changes in the Bamboo server URL or IP address?
    2. Is the agent machine able to reach the Bamboo server using http://192.168.99.1:8085 ?

In case you need to change the Bamboo server address reference in your agent please:

  1. Stop the agent process (or service).
  2. Edit the file <Bamboo_Agent>/conf/wrapper.conf.
  3. Find the property below and update the Bamboo URL.
    wrapper.app.parameter.2=<URL>
  4. Start the agent again.

 

Please let me know if that helps.

Thanks @Daniel Santos !

It worked! The problem was that I was running this on my local system so the Bamboo server was running on http://localhost:8085 while the agent kept on connecting to 192.168.99.1:8085.

So changing the URL helped - both in the wrapper.conf and in the command to start the agent.

Thanks a lot!
