Improve agent bakery performance by disable the build for selected platforms

48 votes

Building new agents in the bakery can take quite a long time. But this also happens, because agents are build for OS platforms I do not have in the company. Can we have a setting, which allows me to define the platforms I need agents for and disable building all others?
This improves the bakery performance and reduces the used disk space.

Checkmk already knows what kind of agent it should build, that's set by a label. cmk, for example if cmk/os_family:windows exists build windows agents and nothing else.

Hi Thomas,

Just tested out, works nicely with one exception : the "signed" flag report not all packages are signed, which is kinda true but also wrong : all impacted packages are.
