List all bamboo agent capabilities via rest

[Paul Moors]

How can I list the capabilities for a bamboo agent using the rest api?

I was thinking that rest/api/latest/agent/<agent-id>/capability should work but there is no result.

Hey @Paul Moors

That endpoint should work. Here's an example:

$ curl -s -H "Accept: application/json" -uuser:pass -X GET 'https://bamboo.mydomain.net/rest/api/latest/agent/56066049/capability' | jq
[
  {
    "key": "system.docker.executable",
    "value": "/bin/docker",
    "source": "AUTO_DETECTION"
  },
  {
    "key": "system.git.executable",
    "value": "/bin/git",
    "source": "AUTO_DETECTION"
  },
  {
    "key": "system.jdk.JDK 1.8",
    "value": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.362.b09-2.el9_1.x86_64",
    "source": "AUTO_DETECTION"
  },
  {
    "key": "system.jdk.JDK 1.8.0_362",
    "value": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.362.b09-2.el9_1.x86_64",
    "source": "AUTO_DETECTION"
  },
  {
    "key": "system.jdk.JDK",
    "value": "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.362.b09-2.el9_1.x86_64",
    "source": "AUTO_DETECTION"
  }
]

The information is indeed very helpful, except that I get a 404 error when using that endpoint as described

Hi @Paul Moors 

Bamboo REST API will return 404 if it can't find the Agent id. Check the URL you are using and replace it with your Agent id.

I use one of the agent-id's that are being returned when using endpoint rest/api/latest/agent. See below.

For example:



Is that the correct id which I'm using?

[Eduardo Alvarenga]

That's correct if you want to get information from the Local Agent.
