Bamboo allows you to disable or delete an agent, when you do not want an agent to run any further builds.

  • Disabling an agent lets you keep the agent in Bamboo, but stops it from running builds.
    Sometimes you might need to prevent Bamboo from building any plans at all (e.g. while you re-index Bamboo). You could achieve this by disabling all agents. If you do this, all builds will wait in the queue until you re-enable the agents.
  • Deleting an agent removes it from Bamboo altogether. If you need to use the agent again in future, you will need to recreate it (see 2.2 Creating a Local Agent and 2.3 Creating a Remote Agent (hidden)).

Note that you can also delete/disable individual plans — this prevents the plan(s) from submitting builds to the queue. See 1.4 Disabling or deleting a Plan.

To disable an agent,

  1. Click the  'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column.
  3. This will display a list of all agents in your Bamboo system. The 'Status' column indicates which plans are currently enabled/disabled.
  4. Locate the relevant agent and click the corresponding 'Disable' link in the 'Operations' column.

To delete an agent,
  1. Click the  'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column.
  3. This will display a list of all agents in your Bamboo system.
  4. Locate the relevant agent and click the corresponding 'Delete' link in the 'Operations' column.
