An agent is a service that runs Bamboo builds. There are two types of agents:

  • local agents run on the Bamboo server. 
  • remote agents run on computers other than the Bamboo server.

(Note: Local agents run in the server's process, i.e. in the same JVM as the server. Each remote agent runs in its own process, i.e. has its own JVM.)

To view only agents which are currently active, see Viewing Bamboo's Current Activity
