Agent REST APIs for Bamboo

Works great! I use it to disable agents for shutdown as AWS GovCloud does not support Elastic Bamboo. Love the tokens as it restricts access instead of using username/password which allows for a lot more.

This API is of tremendous help to us for automating and managing capability roll-outs to our growing agent landscape. An essential plugin for Bamboo for admins. The plugin's user-guide is also a valuable source of information of how to achieve automation. https://eddiewebb.atlassian.net/wiki/display/AAFB/User+Guide Thanks Eddie!

Made more difficult to use since Atlassian discontinued the REST API Browser for Bamboo. With regard to managing agent capabilities, this is a blunt tool, limited to "list all" or "delete all". There's no ability to add/remove/update specific capabilities.

  Thanks Richard. Feel free to create a feature request and explain use case you dont see being met.

  The use case it serves now is for full tear-down and rebuilding of agents without impacting build availability or having false capabilities present. You can define new capabilities via the default auto-detection and custom ones with the properties file each agent uses. To enable this we expose a clean-slate approach to delete all capabikltiies before new ones are defined.

This is a basic API to control the agents from the Bamboo Server. It has been very useful in setting up our agent reset structure. Having status returned as JSON or bash-readable helps a lot too!

Fantastic! Why Atlassian don't provide this by default is beyond me!
