Manage Agents
Agents are the distributed workers that execute your CI/CD jobs, build scripts, and deploy tasks. This section will teach you how to edit agent configurations and manage, monitor, and scale agents to ensure builds run efficiently and securely. Proper agent management improves performance, supports multiple environments, and maintains control over the build infrastructure.
BuildNinja allows you to manage build agents directly from the user interface. You can authorize newly registered agents, enable or disable agents, refresh agent details, reset or delete agents, and filter the agent list by operating system or status to simplify navigation and administration.
Only administrators can authorize, enable, disable, or delete agents.
