# Change Settings using the Command Line

Last updated on Jan 29, 2023

Some settings can be modified using the command line or scripts.

## Enable/Disable Agents as Helpers

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

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

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

## Change Coordinator

You can change the Coordinator that a helper is associated with by running this on any agent machine:

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

For example:

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

## Modify Maximum Number of Helper Cores

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

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

For example:

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

## Modify Minimum Number of Local Helper Cores

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

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

For example:

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

## Assign Agents to a Build Group

Run this on your 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.

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

For example:

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