Managing teamcity agent centrally
Hello,
Please i want to manage teamcity agent on a central server for multiple agent.
I want to be able to run the agent command from one location only instead running the command on each agent servers.
The idea is that i am having multi-agents and i dont want to install java on each server to start agent.
I need help, please.
Thanks

Hi Temitope,
Unfortunately we don't have a way to "centrally" manage agents and their contents. It's usually the responsibility of the build to make sure that either the agent already has the preexisting requirements (through agent requirements), or that it installs them on its own (through an initial build step or build configuration that performs the tasks needed.
This said, you can create a build configuration that installs all the prerequisites for your build if they're missing and make your build depend on it (marking to run on the same agent) to make sure the agent has them installed, or simply run that build standalone on every agent (you can set the agent requirements for it)
