Use the Configuration Slicing Plugin :

mass assign a label to jobs that are not tied to any node all at once.

Subject: Teaching an old job new tricks

Hi All,

Thanks to those who answered my previous question about setting up agents.

I now have two new agent nodes set up and want to move old jobs off the master, 
so the master won't be used for any building (just admin).

How do I prevent jobs from running on the master? Do I just set "number of 
executors" to zero?

For new jobs, I see the choice in their configuration allowing me to decide 
where to run the job, so I can force it to run on the agent node not the master.

I understand old jobs are supposed to run on the master, but I don't want them 
to any more. Even cloned (new) jobs seem to not have the "Restrict where this 
job runs" configuration option, so I assume they will run on the master (as did 
the job from which they were cloned.)

What are my options?

This plugin seems to be one possibility for setting the node at build time (I 
imagine I can set its default to specify a new node for building?)

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/NodeLabel+Parameter+Plugin<https://webmail.novantas.com/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=bccvBaZmiAUZEiOjb7fb5V0hm90n_X4zGXw8tWkw-8ka1WNgEcbTCGgAdAB0AHAAcwA6AC8ALwB3AGkAawBpAC4AagBlAG4AawBpAG4AcwAtAGMAaQAuAG8AcgBnAC8AZABpAHMAcABsAGEAeQAvAEoARQBOAEsASQBOAFMALwBOAG8AZABlAEwAYQBiAGUAbAArAFAAYQByAGEAbQBlAHQAZQByACsAUABsAHUAZwBpAG4A&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwiki.jenkins-ci.org%2fdisplay%2fJENKINS%2fNodeLabel%2bParameter%2bPlugin>

Will that work with old jobs, causing them to run on one of the new agent nodes 
instead of the master?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks again in advance.

Cheers
Bruce
