Bamboo 3.4 : Configuring an Agent-specific Custom Capability

Custom capabilities can be used to control which Jobs will be built by a particular agent. For example, if the builds for a particular Job 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 Job. (See Configuring a Job's Requirements.) An agent-specific capability is a capability that 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).

Configuring a New Agent-Specific Custom Capability

To configure a new agent-specific custom capability:

  1. Navigate to the desired agent, as described in Viewing an Agent.
  2. Click the 'Add Capability' link in the top right of the 'Agent-Specific Capabilities' section. The 'Add Capability' page will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  3. Set the 'Capability Type' field to 'Custom'.
  4. In the 'Key' field, type the key for your new custom capability.
  5. In the 'Value' field, type the value of your new custom capability.
  6. Click the 'Add' button.
