Trello Automatic Seat Management Modularization?
Asked by Eric R Hartway:

Will there be modularization between the de-activation and activation components? Seems either both can be on, or both can be off. We are only interested in the de-activation component.

Thanks,

Eric


Answers:
author: Alexandros Mathopoulos
body: Hi Eric,

Alexandros - from Product Management team here! We have no plans to modularize at the moment but curious to hear more about your use case and why your organization only the deactivation component is of interest.

One setting that might be interesting to you is the seat cap setting within Automatic Seat Management. Essentially you can configure Automatic Seat Management to pause granting seats if you reach a certain threshold of your total seats (90%, 95% or 100%). This way you can always have a buffer.

comments: author: Eric R Hartway
body: Thanks Alexandros. We have an in-house workflow for allocating Trello Enterprise licenses which we are happy with and it helps ensure they are allocated to appropriate users. The deactivation component seems nice to help automate reclaiming licenses with minimal effort.

The threshold configuration is nice, but it grants a license based on user activity, and not all our free account users should have an Enterprise license.

Thanks again,

Eric

How to properly format a report and the payload of a post request to send it json format
Asked by Esteban Serna:

I'm trying to send a daily report to my external app via API using the "post to url" automation. I've tried to use the following patterns without success:

{ name: {cardname}, duration: {{%Duration}} },

{"name": "{cardname}", "duration": {{%Duration}} },

And I've used the following formats in the **payload**field

\[ {$report} \]

"\[ {$report} \]"

But is not working

Unable to provide feedback to the Bamboo installation website
Asked by Mr Andersen:

When I try to provide feedback to the "Installing Bamboo on Windows" (<https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/installing-bamboo-on-windows-289276813.html>) web page, by clicking on the "Provide feedback on this article" link, the following error is displayed:

**Oops! Something went wrong...**

There was a problem submitting your feedback, likely due to the configuration of this form. You might want to contact the site owner to let them know about this issue

When I try to create a bug report, for that problem, there isn't any category that I can put the bug into, as the website isn't listed in one of the product categories.

The "Installing Bamboo on Windows" article is missing several crucial pieces of information, in order to be useful.

Set keystore for both ActiveMQ and Bamboo Server
Asked by Jorge Suarez:

Hi, I have set the keystore for Bamboo Server in ${INSTALL}/conf/server.xml (along with non-default password) with a certificate that expires well into the future. However, I am finding that the automatic certificate management that Bamboo uses for the ActiveMQ broker (${HOME}/xml-data/configuration/broker.ks) only creates a certificate that is valid for 3 months. I would like to use the same certificate for both so that I don't have to keep deleting the file so that Bamboo can create a new certificate for the broker. I have tried the various SSL_OPTS=..., including following [https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/securing-your-remote-agents-289277197.html](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/securing-your-remote-agents-289277197.html?) - Special considerations/troubleshooting. I find that no matter what, if I add -Dbamboo.manage.jms.ssl=false to either JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS or as a parameter to start-bamboo.sh, the broker will continue to use the default file.

I also can't find what the password is for the default broker.ks file, so I don't know if symlinking it to the server keystore will break everything, or perhaps creating my own broker.ks file there. I tried both 'password' and 'changeit' and those were not the passwords.

Does ActiveMQ look for a certificate alias of 'jmsbrokerkey'???

It is very annoying that the certificate expires every 3 months, meaning our regular network scans will flag our server as non-compliant.


Answers:
author: Jeremy Owen
body: Hey Jorge,

Try adding these arguments to your o your *JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS* in *\<bamboo-install\>/bin/setenvh.sh*:

* *-Dbamboo.manage.jms.ssl=false*
* *-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/keystore*
* *-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=keystorepassword*

We do a check to make sure both *bamboo.manage.jms.ssl* and*javax.net.ssl.keyStore* have been supplied before disabling the Automatic JMS SSL Management but setting a keystore in the Tomcat *server.xml* isn't equivalent to supplying it as an argument to the JVM.

If successful, you should see the below line logged logged to your *\<bamboo-home\>/logs/atlassian-bamboo.log*:

```
2018-07-06 10:02:58,345 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] [BambooBrokerService] Automatic JMS SSL management disabled
```

> Does ActiveMQ look for a certificate alias of 'jmsbrokerkey'???

Yep, our implementation of securing the broker via JMS does look for a certificate of alias *jmsbrokerkey*.

Hope this helps! :)

How do I get the atlassian bamboo changelog
Asked by Andreas Herold:

Hello there,

I am interested in getting a newsletter providing information about new bamboo versions.  
So everytime there is a new (minor) version with a changelog, I would be glad to receive an e-mail.  
But I can't find a checkbox oder link where I can register for the newsletter.

Is there a way to solve my problem?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Andreas Herold


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: I'm afraid something like this is not available out of the box anymore, after Atlassian opted to remove the watch page feature from the published version of the Confluence [Bamboo releases](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-releases-671089224.html), which now states:
> You can get automated notifications about major Bamboo releases by subscribing to the [Atlassian blog](http://blogs.atlassian.com/).

Unfortunately that's neither always the case nor a particularly timely channel (often the blog posts trail the release by a week or so), and it doesn't cover minor versions in the first place.

That being said, you can leverage your favorite RSS reader to subscribe to the RSS feeds listed under [Generally available releases](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/early-access-program/) on the EAP page, i.e. [Bamboo.rss](https://my.atlassian.com/download/feeds/bamboo.rss).

If consuming RSS yourself is not your thing, there are various options to subscribe to it via other channels like chat programs (e.g. [RSS for HipChat](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213760/rss-for-hipchat) or [Slack's RSS app](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/218688467-Add-RSS-feeds-to-Slack)) or 'If this than that' solutions (e.g. [IFTTT's RSS Feed](https://ifttt.com/feed)) and get a notification on your mobile in turn.

pass jira variables to bamboo on release
Asked by Dennis Munninghoff:

We have JIRA, BitBucket and Bamboo, all integrated running locally on a server. I would like to have Bamboo build my software when I decide to release it in JIRA.

There is a document available at Atlassian that describes this:

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/running-a-bamboo-build-when-releasing-a-version-764478184.html>

The problem is that my interface doesn't have the *Build Variables* as described in the documentation. This is crucial, because I want JIRA to pass a version number and Bamboo to use that version number as a variable for different tasks.

Here is a screenshot of the interface: [![JIRA release UI](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hetxT.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hetxT.png)

I realise that the docs are for JIRA cloud, but seeing that the same interface is available on the server edition, I would expect to be able to accomplish the same thing.

We use JIRA version 7.9.2 and Bamboo version 6.5.1

Do you know why the Build Variables might be missing, or how else to tackle passing variables from JIRA to Bamboo in a self-hosted situation?


Answers:
author: Gabriel Ribeiro
body: Hi Dennis,

Could you please double check if you have global or plan variables defined in Bamboo? I've tested here with the same versions you're using and I was only able to reproduce the behavior when there are no custom variables defined.

thanks

comments: author: Dennis Munninghoff
body: Thanks Gabriel,

That's the solution. I was under the impression that the custom variables you want to pass are defined on the release screen in JIRA.

Instead, they are defined on the plan or global level in Bamboo, and they can be used/overridden on the release screen in JIRA.

It works now!

Thanks very much for your help.

VSTS: We couldn't connect to the repository. Access is denied.

Hello, I think I have the same problem as the user in [this post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/VSTS-Git-repositories-not-being-detected/qaq-p/809670).

I followed the instructions [found here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/service-hooks/services/bamboo?view=vsts) to create a login.  

My repo is Git, not TFS. The url I am using is the one generated by the VSTS Clone button. I am able to clone my VSTS repo using Visual Studio with no problem.

Not able to start Bamboo server
Asked by Musaffir Puthukudi:

Hello,

Today is my first day with Bamboo server and trying to set it up for exploring something.

I use Windows 10 and the bamboo ZIP Archive (`.zip`) ( not the installer).

I have set JAVA_HOME (and there is no space in the path where Java is installed ) and I have a JDK which is supported for Bamboo. I have set the **Bamboo home directory etc.**

When I run **start-bamboo.bat** from the Bamboo installation directory**, it do not run successfuly**

it do not throw any error too, so it bit difficult for me to trouble shoot the issue.

Attached a pic of cmd from where I am trying to run bamboo server

Please let me know if you have any idea or tips for trouble shooting

Is there a way of displaying variables as dropdown in customised builds (plugin or native)?
Asked by Milcho_Milchev:

When we are doing a custom build in Bamboo, we get the following dialog:  

<https://gyazo.com/96986cf31478b30ec3c81764d3fbb08b>  

It's great that we can customise variables, but is there any way to restrict what goes into the text field? Or even better, is there any way for the 'build-user' to select from a list of options instead of having to type the correct string?  

If there isn't a native way of doing this, are you aware of a plugin that can do this perhaps?

Modify plan variables with Bamboo Specs
Asked by setycz:

Previously, users could modify the bamboo plan variables used e.g. for the major version of the component being build. With Bamboo Specs, plans are read-only, thus you cannot do so. I understand that the proper way is to change the variable in the Specs in the repository, but are there any other options?

For example, what you can do is to run a customised build and change them. Theoretically, you can disable your automatic triggers and do only customised builds. But, as you can imagine, this would be really tedious and not very pleasant. Wouldn't it be great to have the configuration for customised run saved so you don't have to type it each run? I.e. allow the modification of plan variables for bamboo specs?


Answers:
author: setycz
body: We solved the issue by having the version in the VCS. The more we thought about it, the more we were sure that this is the right thing to do and even if there would be some support in Bamboo for it we would rather keep it in VCS. The benefits are:

- we can see who and when changed it

- we can checkout any commit and see the complete image (e.g. what were the variable values at that time)

- it's pushing us to automate things more (to remove the need for a such variable).

comments: author: Soeren Rumpf
body: [@setycz](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/307486) did you manage to use the "Naming versions for deployment releases" feature together with "automatic incrementing" your plan variables which you control via bamboo specs?

I'm asking because I'm looking for a way to control the plans and deployment projects via bamboo specs but also would like to use the automatic incrementing feature so that the developers don't need to increment the RC numbers each time they're creating a deployment release. But since I'd like to reset the RC number to 1, each time the major or minor version is incremented, it seems like there is no way to make this work together with the automatic incrementing feature or am I missing something here?


author: Saif
body: Is there a solution/workaround available?

For our new CI plan in Bamboo we are in need of modifying deploy jobs global variables outside spec for custom deploys.

possible?


author: Soeren Rumpf
body: I ended up in doing it probably the same way as setycz did it.

In the build plan, we're parsing the source code file containing the version numbers. Those information are then put into a file to be able to use the "bamboo variables inject" task, which then adds the version information to the build plan. The deployment job then picks up the build plan inject variables to create the release versioning.
Bamboo plugin usage statistics
Asked by Dani:

Is there any way to find out how much users is using what version of the Bamboo plugin, or general usage statistics?


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: As the vendor of any app published via the Atlassian Marketplace (formerly known as addon, formerly known as plugin), you can "Get a specific app's active installation counts over time, aggregated by app version" from the app's listing page and via the Marketplace API:

* UI =\> App's Marketplace listing =\> Link 'Manage app' =\> Tab 'Active installations'
* API =\> [Get app active installations (by app version)](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/rest/#api-addons-addonKey-distribution-version-get)

Please note that this is only an approximation, because not all active installations do report the usage data back to Atlassian due to firewall and/or privacy restrictions.
