3.5.21. worker

resource type: worker
Attributes:

  • workerid (integer) – the ID of this worker

  • configured_on[] –

    list of builders on masters this worker is configured on

    • builderid (integer)

    • masterid (integer)

  • connected_to[] –

    list of masters this worker is attached to

    • masterid (integer)

  • name (string) – the name of the worker

  • paused (bool) – the worker is paused if it is connected but doesn’t accept new builds

  • pause_reason? (string) – the reason for pausing the worker, if the worker is paused

  • graceful (bool) – the worker is graceful if it doesn’t accept new builds, and will shutdown when builds are finished

  • workerinfo (object) –

    information about the worker

    The worker information can be any JSON-able object. In practice, it contains the following keys, based on information provided by the worker:

    • admin (the admin information)

    • host (the name of the host)

    • access_uri (the access URI)

    • version (the version on the worker)

A worker resource represents a worker to the source code monitored by Buildbot.

The contents of the connected_to and configured_on attributes are sensitive to the context of the request. If a builder or master is specified in the path, then only the corresponding connections and configurations are included in the result.
