Select Teamcity Linux Agent via System Properties

I am trying to set-up my build config to run on only specific flavors of Linux Only (Like SLES 10 SP3 or Redhat 5)

Is there an agent requirements property I can use to select specific flavors of Linux like Redhat or SLES 10 or SLES 11 etc?

Currently I only know how to select agents via these properties which is not working well:

Attribute Linux Example: System.os.name Linux System.os.arch amd64 / s390x / i386 / etc. System.os.version 2.6.32.54-0.13.TDC.1.R.1-default, 2.6.27.19-5-default, 2.6.9-42.ELsmp etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I do not want to specify the agent name.

I am using TeamCity 7.0. I am aware I may need to do something to the agents to make this information available but not sure what that is.

Solution

  • The build agent configuration file <TeamCity Agent Home>/conf/buildagent.properties gives you the ability to specify properties that can participate in the Agent requirements expressions.

    You'll need to do a little extra work to get it set up, but it will give you what you're looking for.
