Change Settings using CLI (Command Line)

Some settings can be modified using the command line or scripts. These commands require root user permissions.

Agent Settings

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py help

/opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py help

Get Status

Run this on any agent to view if an agent is enabled or disabled to participate as a helper in builds (returns true if enabled, false if disabled).

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py enable-as-helper

Set Status

Run these on any agent to modify enable or disable it's ability to participate as a helper in builds.

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py enable-as-helper

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py disable-as-helper

Get Coordinator

To view the Coordinator that a helper is associated with, run this on any agent machine:

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py coordinator

Set Coordinator

To change the Coordinator that a helper is associated with, run this on any agent machine. If run on a helper, it will stop any running tasks and reassign them to an available helper or the initiator. If run an Initiator, any builds started by that initiator will be aborted.

If the new Coordinator is not the same version of Incredibuild as the Agents, the Agents will be automatically upgraded or downgraded.

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py coordinator <hostname/IP of new Coordinator>

After this is done, you also need unsubscribe the licenses on the original Coordinator and resubscribe them on the new Coordinator.

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py coordinator 192.168.10.50

Get Maximum Number of Local Helpers

To view the maximum number of available local cores required to start a new build, run this command on any agent machine: 

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py max-helper-cores

Set Maximum Number of Local Helpers

To change the maximum number of cores that an Agent can use when participating in builds, run this command on any agent machine: 

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py max-helper-cores <number>

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py max-helper-cores 64

Get Minimum Number of Local Helpers

To view the minimum number of available local cores required to start a new build, run this command on any agent machine: 

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py min-local-cores

Set Minimum Number of Local Helpers

To change the minimum number of available local cores required to start a new build, run this command on any agent machine: 

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py min-local-cores <number>

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py min-local-cores 8

Get the Proxy Server for HTTP Communication

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py https_proxy

Set the Proxy Server for HTTPS Communication

Set the proxy server that will be used for outgoing external HTTPS communication from Incredibuild. To remove the proxy server, use this command with an empty value:

/opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py https_proxy <URL or empty value>

Get No Proxy Exceptions

To get the list of IP addresses, hostnames, and domains that bypass your proxy, use the following command: 

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py no_proxy

Set No Proxy Exceptions

To set the list of IP addresses, hostnames, and domains that bypass your proxy, use the following command: 

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py no_proxy <comma separated list>

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py no_proxy 192.54.3.22,192.78.54.230

Get Maximum Initiator Cores

To view the maximum number of cores that can be used by the agent when acting as the Initiator of a build, run this on any agent:

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py max-initiator-cores

Set Maximum Initiator Cores

To set the maximum number of cores that can be used by the agent when acting as the Initiator of a build, run this on any agent:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py max-initiator-cores <number of max initiator cores>

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py max-initiator-cores 16

Get Build Group

To view what Build Group an agent is in, run this on the agent: 

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py build-group

Set Build Group

Run this on your Primary Coordinator to assign an agent to a build group. You can use add the --include-offline flag (optional) at the end to implement the assignment even if the agent is offline.

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_build_group.py <agent ip or host name> <group name> --include-offline (optional param)

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_build_group.py 192.168.10.50 group1 --include-offline (optional param)

These commands control the Build Cache settings on Initiator machines.

Get Local Build Cache Information

Return information about the location and size of your local build cache:

/opt/incredibuild/management/build_avoid_cache.sh <user|shared|group='groupname'> info

Set Local Build Cache Size

Set the local build cache size. By default, the size is 100GB: 

/opt/incredibuild/management/build_avoid_cache.sh <user|shared|group='groupname'> set_size <size in GB>

Get Build Cache Service

You can retrieve the default Build Cache Service used by an Initiator. This service is used for shared Build Cache.

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py build-cache-service-URL

Set Build Cache Service

You can set the default Build Cache Service used by an Initiator. This service is used for shared Build Cache.

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py build-cache-service-URL http://<agent IP or hostname>:<port>

For example:

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py build-cache-service-URL http://linux_lab_machine2:8080

To unset this parameter, call it with the value "":

sudo /opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py build-cache-service-URL ""

Clear Build Cache

Clear the local build cache:

/opt/incredibuild/management/build_avoid_cache.sh <user|shared|group='groupname'> clear

These commands allow you to define a remote location to store build logs.

Get Log Location

To view what remote location is defined for storing build logs from this agent:

/opt/incredibuild/management/get_agent_params.py log-mount-directory

Set Log Location

To set the remote location for storing build logs from this agent. The location should already be mounted to a folder on the agent:

/opt/incredibuild/management/set_agent_params.py log-mount-directory <path to mounted remote location>

Coordinator Settings

Returns license information in JSON format including: GUID, name, expiration date, number of server cores and SUVM cores.

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license show

Returns the total number of cores and the total number of available (unsubscribed) cores for each type of license (server \ SUVM).

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license usage

Creates a key file (.pk) for the coordinator in the given path with the given name (should have .pk extension). This is required to generate a first license or renew an existing license (similar to the UI option to generate key file).

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license key-file <file path with file name>

For example:

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license key-file /var/Incredibuild/ib-key.pk

Loads the specified license file. If the coordinator already has a valid license, this will replace it without any downtime to the Grid and running builds. If the load fails for any reason, the CLI will provide an error and revert back to the previous license (if applicable).

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license load

Unloads the existing license.

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator license unload

Returns the coordinator type (primary \ secondary) and status (offline, standby, active) in JSON format.

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator status

Get Secondary Coordinator IP/Name

When run on the Primary Coordinator, it returns the IP address or machine name for the Secondary Coordinator (if one is defined).

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator secondary get

Set Secondary Coordinator

Sets the specified machine as the Secondary Coordinator for this Primary Coordinator.

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator secondary set <machine name or IP>

For example:

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator secondary set 192.168.10.50

Get Secondary Coordinator Status

Returns the status of the Secondary Coordinator in JSON format (can be unconfigured, offline, standby, or active)

/opt/incredibuild/ctl/coordinator secondary status
