You can monitor your agents' status to check that all agents are functioning as expected.

To see which Jobs are currently being built, look at the 'Current Activity' tab on the Dashboard.

To monitor the status of your agents,

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Agents' link in the left navigation column. This will display the 'Agents' screen, showing lists of all Local Agents and all Remote Agents that currently exist in your Bamboo system (see screenshot below).
    • Each agent has one of the following statuses:
      • 'Idle' — available to execute Job builds
      • 'Building' — currently executing a Job build
      • 'Cancelling' — currently cancelling a Job build
      • 'Disabled' — not available to execute Job builds (see Disabling or Deleting an Agent)
      • 'Disabled - Building' — currently executing a Job build, but disabled so cannot execute further Job builds
      • 'Disabled - Cancelling' — currently cancelling a Job build, and disabled so cannot execute further Job builds
    • Remote agents are divided into 'Online Remote Agents' and 'Offline Remote Agents'. You can access more details on either of these categories by clicking the appropriate tab.
      • Online remote agents are remote agents which are currently available for use by Bamboo.
      • Offline remote agents are remote agents which are currently inaccessible to Bamboo and are unavailable for generating Job builds.

What is the difference between an 'Offline' and a 'Disabled' agent?


'Online' agents are those which are currently accessible to Bamboo. Local agents are always online, although remote agents may be either online or offline.

An 'Offline' agent is a remote agent which has been registered with the Bamboo server, was online, but now can not interact with the Bamboo server because:

  • The Bamboo remote agent process (running on the remote hardware) was stopped.
  • The Bamboo server (for whatever reason) cannot communicate with the remote hardware that is running the Bamboo remote agent process.

Bamboo administrators can manually 'disable' an online agent to prevent it from being used in build generation. The agent will still be online and it can be 'enabled' at a later point in time. It is not possible to disable offline agents.
