This page gives an overview of the joint installation of Crucible and FishEye. Both Crucible and FishEye are Atlassian products.

  • FishEye allows you to extract information from your source code repository and display it in sophisticated reports.
  • Crucible allows you to request, perform and manage code reviews.
  • Both of these products can run in isolation. However if you are using CVS, Subversion or Perforce you can significantly enhance your Crucible experience by also using FishEye.
Your Crucible installation package includes the files required for FishEye
If you use FishEye and Crucible together, they run as one instance.

Purchasing and Installing Crucible/FishEye

  • If you install Crucible, there is no need to do a separate installation of FishEye.
  • Upgrading Crucible to also use FishEye requires only a simple licence change in the admin screens.
  • When upgrading to Crucible when you have an existing FishEye installation, you can either keep the original FishEye installation or install Crucible and FishEye as a fresh install. Refer to the guide on upgrading from FishEye to Crucible.

FISHEYE_HOME and FISHEYE_INST

Throughout the Crucible documentation, references are made to FISHEYE_HOME, which refers to the location of the FishEye application. Because most Crucible users also run FishEye, we use a single value for the sake of simplicity.

Crucible also makes use of this FishEye environment variable:

  • FISHEYE_INST – the location of the FishEye data.

Refer to the FishEye documentation for more about the environment variables and how they are used in the FishEye installation.
