Custom capabilities can be used to control which build plans will be built by a particular agent. For example, if the builds for a particular plan should only run in a Windows environment, you could create a custom capability 'operating.system=WindowsXP' for the appropriate agent(s), and specify it as a requirement for this plan. (See Specifying a Plan's Capability Requirements.)

An agent-specific capability applies to one agent only. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability will override the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).

To configure a new agent-specific custom capability,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column.
  3. The 'Agents' page will be displayed, showing lists of all Local Agents and Remote Agents in your Bamboo system.
  4. Click on the name of the agent for which you wish to configure a new Custom capability.
  5. The 'Agent Capabilities' screen will be displayed, showing a list of shared capabilities and agent-specific capabilities for your chosen agent. Click the 'Add Capability' link in the top-right of the 'Agent-Specific Capabilities' section.
  6. The 'Add Capability' page will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  7. Set the 'Capability Type' field to 'Custom'.
  8. In the 'Key' field, type the key for your new custom capability.
  9. In the 'Value' field, type the value of your new custom capability.
  10. Click the 'Add' button.
