Multiple Self-Hosted Agents
This is done via TAGS.
An agent will only run tasks from connections whose
tags field
matches the TAGS environment variable of the agent.If an agent is deployed with an environment variable like
TAGS=prod, then all targets whose field tags
match the value prod are executed by that agent. Multiple
targets can have the same tags.However, an agent MUST have unique TAGS across the organization. This
means that only one agent can be deployed with
TAGS=prod.If a second agent tries to start with the same tags, the API will
return an error and the agent will exit.
If you already have an agent deployed with
TAGS=prod,
then another agent can be deployed with a different TAGS, for instance,
TAGS=dev. Then, only targets whose tags field
matches the value dev will be executed by that agent.- TAGS can be any value that makes sense to the organization.
- One agent can be deployed without TAGS, and it will run only tasks
from targets whose
tagsfield is null.
