To create a new local agent:
- Click Administration in the menu bar.
- Click Agents in the left panel (under 'Build Resources') to display a list of all local and remote agents that currently exist in your Bamboo system.
- Click Add Local Agent.
- Enter details for the agent. The name is displayed on the dashboard. The description is only visible to administrators.
- Click Add.
Note that your new local agent:
- will be enabled by default.
- will inherit all local server capabilities that are defined in your Bamboo system.
- will be able to run builds for all jobs whose requirements are met by the agent's capabilities (see Configuring a job's requirements).
