What is the benefit of user accounts when using Fisheye without Crucible
Asked by richiethom:

I am starting to evaluate Fisheye (download edition) for my organisation, and have a question about how users work. We currently use WebSVN to visualise our repositories.

Access to WebSVN is not in any way controlled or segregated - any authenticated user (at least 50 developers here) can see all repositories (all 120 of them).

In the "How do you define a user" section of the Fisheye pricing page, it says that anonymous users "do not count against license totals". Bearing in mind our current policy regarding who can see what, I am not sure therefore whether we need to buy more than the cheapest 'non-starter' rate licence. There will only be one or two administrative users.

Apart from administrative users, what other benefits does Fisheye bring to a non-anonymous user? We don't intend to use Crucible.


Answers:
author: SimonS
body: Hi richiethorn,

If browsing source code is the only thing you expect developers to do with Fisheye, then you'll be fine using the 10-user commercial license and WebSVN.

Fisheye does offer much more than that, though, that developers might find useful. Things like the commit graph - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/Viewing+the+commit+graph+for+a+repository>

Reports, charts, and code metric - <https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+Charts>

and things like searching and having developer stats (LoC commited, last activity).

comments: author: richiethom
body: Thanks for that information. Do the features you mention in your answer require/work-better-with a logged in user?


author: SimonS
body: I'm not sure actually. The features don't require a user to be logged in, but without a username you will only be able to see things by committer name. For your case, you might be able to ake use of all the features just fine with anonymous access.


author: Sten Pittet
body: One thing that you might consider is that when user mapping is set up I can log in as a user and see my personal activity. It becomes also easier to identify the authors of changes via their names and avatars.

On another topic features like *shares* and *mentions* introduced in [FishEye 2.8](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+2.8+release+notes) will only work with authenticated users.

Hope that helps.

<br />

Sten

comments: author: richiethom
body: Hi Sten, thanks for this, but these features mainly seem associated with Crucible, which we won't be using (at least initially).


author: Sten Pittet
body: Shares and mentions are definitely part of FishEye, as well as the Activity Stream. Then, it's up to you :)

How to add banners to top and bottom of fisheye
Asked by Erik Van Norstrand:

I am looking for a way to add a banner to the top and bottom of every fisheye page that would say something to the effect of:

This system is a development system and not for production use

The banner would need to have a background color of orange and a text color of yellow (I didn't pick the colors!)

I have googled and searched the knowledge board, and can't find any information about changing banners. If anyone has ideas please let me know!


Answers:
author: Athanasios Bladis
body: Hello together,

how can i set a banner in Fisheye Crucible without a Announcement Banner Plugin and also without a Welcome Message. i found out that on Confluence its very easy and i m searching for a same simple way to configure it.

body: You may want to vote for [CRUC-5201](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CRUC-5201) if this feature is still important to you.


author: Michael Roff
body: I have been wondering this too.

On a similar note, does anyone know if there is an option to put a banner in Crucible?

comments: author: William Wells
body: Crucible is integrated into Fisheye, so it should be the same changes across both of them


author: Nawaz Quadri
body: As far as I know there is no concept of banner in fisheye. However, fisheye provides an option to add a customised welcome message. You can put your message by navigating to administrator\>Front page customisation.

If you are ok to put your message in the footer (which appears in every page of fisheye), you can edit the footer file available in \<fecru-installation-directory\>/content/WEB-INF/tags/cru/footer.tag

comments: author: William Wells
body: Neither of these worked on Fisheye 2.7.11. I tried to use the Customized to just put a short comment to test it out and nothing happened. I added the \<div class\> to the footer.tag file (which was empty to start with) and nothing changed. I even restarted my Fisheye and that still didn't update the page with any kind of "banner"


author: Marek Parfianowicz
body: *the footer.tag file (which was empty to start with)*

It seems that you used standard FishEye/Crucible installer, which contains pre-compiled JSP files. This is a reason why all \*.jsp / \*.tag files are empty. Modification of them will have no effect.

You have to use **JSP source build** of FishEye/Crucible. You can find a download link on your my.atlassian.com account, under condition that you have a commercial FishEye/Crucible license.
Best Practices for high load instances
Asked by Leonid Zvyahintsev:

We need 100+ projects and 1000+ users hosted on single Crucible instance.

Do you know any performance limitations, or best practices for hardware/instance configurations we may run Crucible without performance issues?


Answers:
author: Russell H
body: This is probably a little late, but I noticed there was no answer...

We currently run Crucible with 300+ projects and around 800 users and we only have problems if people have particularly large code reviews (usually a result of bad practices or waterfall development) or if there are anomolies in the Subversion commit.

I'm not sure what the limit is for a Crucible instance but in my experience it seems more limited by project size than amount of projects.

I find it works best with multi-threading enabled (we use 3 threads for initial scans and incremental) and also increase your Java heap to a reasonable size for your instance. We use max 2GB. This information is in the docs on performance tuning I think.

comments: author: Sergey Svishchev
body: There's a problem with InfinityDB cache (its size is not capped and may exhaust heap of any size) -- <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-4427>

There's a workaround, but it causes a 10-15% performance hit

Is Fisheye required for successful anchoring of pre-commit patches in Crucible?
Asked by Gil Elad:

Hello,

I'm running Crucible 2.8.0 without Fisheye, over a Perforce repository, and cannot get pre-commit patches to anchor successfully to the repository.

I could not find an open issue regarding this in the support portal.

Do I need to install a full-fledged Fisheye instance to get anchoring to work?

Thanks


Answers:
author: Conor
body: Yes, anchoring essentially means connecting the files in the patch to their correspnding files in a FishEye repository.

Anchoring allows Crucible to present more context than is available in a patch upload. It uses FishEye as the source of this additional context.

You can still preform a review on the patch without anchoring. You just won't have access to the extra context.
Is there a way to use Fisheye to send an e-mail to a group list?
Asked by Matt:

Hi all,

We'd like to send Fisheye notification e-mails to a general group ([svn-list@domain.com](mailto:svn-list@domain.com)). Is this possible?

Avoiding creating a dummy user is ideal because we're trying to stay under the 10 user limit.

Thanks!


Answers:
author: SimonS
body: Hi HnsMatt,

I don't think this is possible. Fishsye 2.8 lets you share (email) changesets/repos to any number of email addresses or users:

(<http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/whats-new>)

but for standard notifications, you'l have to setup a dummy user like you feared.

-Simon

comments: author: Matt
body: Bummer! If that's the case, I'd like to formally request it as a feature ;-)

Another option would be to allow administrators be able to set watches for other users. We have non-tech people that need the emails, but don't have the know how to set it up on their own.


author: Matt
body: Thanks for the heads up, I'll do that!


author: SimonS
body: Sure thing :) - this might be a tricky feature - we have traditionally (in JIRA, Confluence, etc.) only allowed registered users to be a part of notifications. In any case, the place to file the feature request is

<http://jira.atlassian.com>

Allowing administrators to set other user's watches would be a much "more likely to implement" feature though ;)

What file types are included in FishEye scanning/indexing?
Asked by Eric Martin:

I am trying to figure out what types of files (mime-types or extensions) are scanned and index by FishEye. Do I need to set up exclusions for binary files (pdf, images, etc.) or do they even get scanned? I can't seem to documentation that addresses this question.


Answers:
author: Harry Chan

Problems while restricting a user to see only one project
Asked by Marco Leichsenring:

Currently we are using JIRA only company-intern. For an upcoming project it is planned to provide a dedicated user account to one of our clients. We've got it managed, that our new user client which belonges to group clients, can only see and access the project suitable for him. The solution was to create a new permission scheme and linking it to a project.

What we're struggling with are the following two points:

1. Published filters from other users, which are provided for anyone, also appear for our new user client. On the one hand this makes sense because client is also anyone, but unfortunately this allows conclusions to our other clients names. Question: Are there any other solutions except the one, that users must not provide there filters to anyone? We think, that the requested discipline for this policy is not sufficient.

2. We are also using Fisheye parallel to JIRA and all users are able to put an activity stream (also with Fisheye history) on their dashboards. So client is able to see all committed changesets (in fact only the commit comments but that is already enough) via the Fisheye activity stream. Question: Is it possible to lock a specific dashboard (without activity stream) per user? If not: is it possible to revoke the Fisheye-rights for a specific user?

Kind regards

Marco


Answers:
author: Harry Chan
body: 1. There is no other solution to what's been suggested, however, regardless of the filter, the user still needs permission to the projects/issues to see any search results returned.

2. The Fisheye permission is tied with the "View Version Control" permission in the permission scheme.

Are there Review LifeCycle events/Hooks for Crucible
Asked by Jonathan Jonathan:

I'd like to setup an integration between Crucible and FlowDock. There is a great FlowDock JIRA plugin but nothing for Crucible. Ideally I'd just like notifications when reviews are created, updated and closed.   

FlowDock supports simple email integrations but I can't events or hooks for the Review lifecycle that I could integrate with


Answers:
author: Sten Pittet
body: Hi,

I can see on the list of features that Flowdock has that there is a RSS integration feature. I would suggest to use the RSS feed for the global Activity Stream or a project Activity Stream to integrate with Flowdock.

In order to get the RSS feed you simply need to click on the cog on the top right corner. The screenshot attached shows the location of the link.

Latest Activity and LoC columns under People page lost after upgrading fisheye from 2.1.4 to 2.7.13
Asked by Vishal Chugh:

After we upgraded fisheye from 2.1.4 to 2.7.13, we don't see Latest Activity and LoC columns under People page. We were able to see those columns with fisheye 2.1.4 (before upgrade).

Currently, it just shows the four columns: "User", "Commit History", "Reviews", "Commits" under People page, not other 2.

Is reason being that 2.7.13 is just like that? Isn't it supposed to show 2 more columns on People page?

Or is there a way to customize People page through admin or with help of any plugin?

How to modify fisheye interface (logo, header, favicon)

Thanks for help, but when i modify fecru.png to change logo and I restart the logo doesn't change. I have verify the web page and the image was in the correct file and i view all image in this page via browser <http://192.168.1.234:8003/fisheye/static/m8qhao/2static/images/masthead/> (localy), but if I look at the fecru.png image it was the default one and not mine.

Do you have others ideas.

Thanks


author: LeonardoL
body: Hi,

That's weird! I've tested locally and logo has changed. My steps were:

1. In my case I have FishEye+Crucible so I've stopped application.

2. gone to /fisheye/static/m8qhao/2static/images/masthead/

3. created a backup of original fecru.png

4. replaced original fecru.png for a customized logo keeping the name fecru.png (of course) which is referenced into code.

5. Started application.

Application will start with old logo but when I hit F5 the new logo is loaded and displayed.

Could you please review your steps and make sure you've followed these steps?

Cheers,

Leonardo.

body: Hello,

I have found the problem, I only have to clean the navigator cache after.

Now I'm trying to modify the favicon .../fisheye/static/m8qhao/images/favicon.ico but this doesn't work. I have clear my browser cas and restart fisheye/crucible.

Do you have one idea?

Thanks


author: LeonardoL
body: Hey KeavenMartin,

Well the favicon file that you're trying to change is correct. I was able to modify it and my steps were:

1. downloaded a program to convert images to .ico files (I used SimplyIcon);

2. turned a image into .ico file, renamed it to favicon and replaced it into m8qhao/images/ folder;

NOTE: for some reason the SO (windows in my case) keeps displaying the old favicon image even after replacement (well I just ignored that...);

3. Then I've started application and cleaned browser cache (FF in my case)

4. So new favicon has been displayed.

I hope this could help you.

Cheers,

Leonardo.

Login window popping up briefly every half-hour
Asked by Aleks Huson:

Whilst I have Sourcetree open, a login window pops up every 1/2 hour for a split second, then disappears.

I haven't been able to identify exactly which credentials it's asking for, I've just seen the username/password input boxes (which appear to be empty). I haven't managed yet to identify what's written in the title bar.

I have credentials ("Rest saved passwords" and "Git saved passwords") for bitbucket.org and for an internal Bitbucket server; both are working fine as is with the saved credentials. There are no other accounts configured.

I'm using version 3.3.8.3848 on Windows 10. It says I'm up to date.

This may sound trivial, but the window takes the focus from whatever window I'm working in when it pops up, so I'm having to keep Sourcetree closed and open it each time I need to use it.


Answers:
author: MBu
body: Did you manage to solve this problem? What was the cause?

When it occurred on my machine I was able to solve it by removing saved passwords from Tools-\>Options-\>Authentication and then reauthenticating. But now other users experience the problem and cleaning the password cache does not help.

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

Do you want to delete the branch and folder that you circled? If so, just expand the folder, right-click on the branch and select delete. This will delete the local copy of the branch and also the folder.

Folders is a great way to organize your branches, and are created if you create a branch that looks like this:

something/my-branch

In this case something will be the folder.

comments: author: kesing_huang
body: Hi Mikael!

Thanks for quick response, I made the folder by accident, because my branch name includes a '/'. And I didn't understood it then. Thank you for your response :) Tack!
