Documentation for Bamboo 4.1.x. Documentation for earlier versions of Bamboo is available too.

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).

To configure a new agent-specific custom capability:

  1. Navigate to the desired agent, as described in Viewing an agent.
  2. Click Add Capability in the top right of the 'Agent-Specific Capabilities' section.
  3. Choose Capability Type > Custom.
  4. Specify values for Key and Value.
  5. Click Add.
