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. An elastic agent is a remote agent that runs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
(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 an agent, including the agent properties, capabilities and the plans that an agent can build, please see Viewing an Agent.
- To view the status of all of your agents, please see Monitoring Agent Status.

If you are looking for information on elastic agents, please refer to the documentation on Working with Elastic Bamboo.
Note:
A capability is a feature of an agent. A capability can be a:
- builder (e.g. Maven)
- JDK
- custom capability (a key-value property which defines a particular characteristic of an agent, e.g. 'operating.system=WindowsXP' or 'fast.builds=true')
- Perforce (location of the P4 client application, if Perforce is being used as the source repository)
Capabilities can be defined specifically for an agent, or they can be shared between either all local agents or all remote agents. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability overrides the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).
See Configuring Capabilities.
