How to change default FishEye/Crucible polling interval?

[PhillipB]

How can I change the default FishEye/Crucible polling interval?

When editing a repo I see there is an option to 'Use the system default settings for updates', but I'm not clear on where that system default is set.

[Nick · Accepted solution]

Just an FYI - Since FishEye 3.0 it has been possible to edit the default polling period for a FishEye instance.

Great!! but where are the directions? Googling just takes us back here, not very helpful

[Sergey Svishchev]

"To configure the default options for all repositories, click Defaults (under 'Repository Settings') in the left-hand nav panel [in Admin UI]"

I recently contacted Atlassian Support about this issue. They said that there is no way to do this at present, and although they would look for a workaround (beyond editing all of the repos manually), there's nothing to report yet.

However, this is a known feature request that they encourage us to vote for: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-490

IN your config.xml properties file is a section for repository defaults/

<repository-defaults>
	<linker/>
	<allow/>
	<tarball enabled="false" maxFileCount="0"/>
	<security allow-anon="true"><required-groups/></security>
    <text-indexer enabled="true"/><watches enabled="true"/>
	<commit-message-syntax syntax="plain"/>  
	<changeset-discussions enabled="true"/>
</repository-defaults>

You should be able to add an <updater pollPeriod="15m"/> element with an interval attribute, and restart fisheye.

Doesn't seem to work, running into parsing errors like

at line 221: Expected element 'linker@http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/config-1'
instead of 'svn@http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/config-1' here in element
repository-defaults@http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/config-1

Tried putting in just updater element, and in SVN element, but keep running into errors on startup.

[EddieW]

Where did you add that? There is no SVN element, so I suspect it is in the wrong parent. This is not in a specicifc repository, which might have an SVN element, but in the general reposiotry-defaults.

<repository-defaults>

<linker/>

<updater pollPeriod="15m"/>

<allow/>

<tarball enabled="false" maxFileCount="0"/>

<security allow-anon="true"><required-groups/></security>

<text-indexer enabled="true"/><watches enabled="true"/>

<commit-message-syntax syntax="plain"/>

<changeset-discussions enabled="true"/>

</repository-defaults>

Care to post your config.xml (exclusing any confidential data of coruse)

[PhillipB]

Tried that as well

line 231: Expected element 'allow@http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/config-1' instead of 'updater@http://www.cenqua.com/fisheye/config-1' here in element repository-defaults

<repository-defaults>
<linker/>
<updater pollPeriod="15m"/>
<allow/>
<tarball enabled="false"/>
<security allow-anon="false" allow-logged-in="true" allow-anon-write="false" allow-logged-in-write="true">
<required-groups/> <required-write-groups/>
</security>
<text-indexer enabled="true"/>
<watches enabled="true"/>
<properties/>
<commit-message-syntax syntax="wiki"/>
<changeset-discussions enabled="true"/>
</repository-defaults>

[EddieW]

Hmmm. I am going to see if I can dig up the xml schema used for the config file and straighten this out.

[JamieA]

This is not documented anywhere. Atlassian really need to answer this seeing as there is no source for Fisheye. And where is the "poke Atlassian" button?

Update: I think it's kind of bullshit that this is not documented. The solution above looks feasible but don't work, at least on 2.5.6.

My workaround for this:

Open the config.xml in Intellij IDEA.

Do two xml refactorings :

1) click on the <svn> element and do add new subtag, only if not present, current file

2) click on <updated/> and do add attribute, and add the pollPeriod, 300s (or whatever interval).

Save, restart fisheye.

Hi all,

Looking at "config.xsd", it does not support the configuration above "<updater pollPeriod="15m"/>" in any point.

So, this tip does not make sense :(

Another improvement request:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-490

Cheers,

Leonardo.

[Sergey Svishchev]

FE-490 has been implemented, apparently, and "It will be possible to configure defaults once FishEye 3.0 has been released."

[Rune_Engseth]

Agree, this is unclear. I can't locate where to set the default polling interval

Can someone from Atlassian please answer this?

[cedexis_2]

Has there been a resolution to this yet?

[Craig Solinski]

Hi, polling to a external github repo is occurring almost 4 times a minute. How to reduce polling interval for git?

Thank you,

Craig

Did anyone find the answer to this? I just tried it and got the same error.

You should be able to add an <updates> element with an interval attribute, and restart fisheye.
