Looking at log file use on CGSpace and notice that we need to work on our cron setup a bit
We are backing up all logs in the log folder, including useless stuff like solr, cocoon, handle-plugin, etc
After running DSpace for over five years I&rsquo;ve never needed to look in any other log file than dspace.log, leave alone one from last year!
This will save us a few gigs of backup space we&rsquo;re paying for on S3
Also, I noticed the checker log has some errors we should pay attention to:

<li>So this would be the <code>tomcat7</code> Unix user, who seems to have a default limit of 1024 files in its shell</li>
<li>For what it&rsquo;s worth, we have been setting the actual Tomcat 7 process&rsquo; limit to 16384 for a few years (in <code>/etc/default/tomcat7</code>)</li>
<li>Looks like cron will read limits from <code>/etc/security/limits.*</code> so we can do something for the tomcat7 user there</li>
<li>Submit pull request for Tomcat 7 limits in Ansible dspace role (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public/pull/30">#30</a>)</li>

<ul>
<li>Reduce Amazon S3 storage used for logs from 46 GB to 6GB by deleting a bunch of logs we don&rsquo;t need!</li>
</ul>

<pre><code># s3cmd ls s3://cgspace.cgiar.org/log/ &gt; /tmp/s3-logs.txt
# grep checker.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del

# grep solr.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>Also, adjust the cron jobs for backups so they only backup <code>dspace.log</code> and some stats files (.dat)</li>
<li>Try to do some metadata field migrations using the Atmire batch UI (<code>dc.Species</code> → <code>cg.species</code>) but it took several hours and even missed a few records</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-06">2016-04-06</h2>

<ul>
<li>A better way to move metadata on this scale is via SQL, for example <code>dc.type.output</code> → <code>dc.type</code> (their IDs in the metadatafieldregistry are 66 and 109, respectively):</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set metadata_field_id=109 where metadata_field_id=66;
UPDATE 40852
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>After that an <code>index-discovery -bf</code> is required</li>
<li>Start working on metadata migrations, add 25 or so new metadata fields to CGSpace</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-07">2016-04-07</h2>

<ul>
<li>Write shell script to do the migration of fields: <a href="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/72a70aca856d76f24c127a6e67b3342b">https://gist.github.com/alanorth/72a70aca856d76f24c127a6e67b3342b</a></li>
<li>Testing with a few fields it seems to work well:</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>$ ./migrate-fields.sh
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=109 WHERE metadata_field_id=66
UPDATE 40883
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=202 WHERE metadata_field_id=72
UPDATE 21420
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=203 WHERE metadata_field_id=76
UPDATE 51258
</code></pre>

<h2 id="2016-04-08">2016-04-08</h2>

<ul>
<li>Discuss metadata renaming with Abenet, we decided it&rsquo;s better to start with the center-specific subjects like ILRI, CIFOR, CCAFS, IWMI, and CPWF</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ve e-mailed CCAFS and CPWF people to ask them how much time it will take for them to update their systems to cope with this change</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-10">2016-04-10</h2>

<ul>
<li>Looking at the DOI issue <a href="https://www.yammer.com/dspacedevelopers/#/Threads/show?threadId=678507860">reported by Leroy from CIAT a few weeks ago</a></li>
<li>It seems the <code>dx.doi.org</code> URLs are much more proper in our repository!</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>dspacetest=# select count(*) from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=74 and text_value like 'http://dx.doi.org%';
 count
-------
  5638
(1 row)

dspacetest=# select count(*) from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=74 and text_value like 'http://doi.org%';
 count
-------
     3
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>I will manually edit the <code>dc.identifier.doi</code> in <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/72509?show=full"><sup>10568</sup>&frasl;<sub>72509</sub></a> and tweet the link, then check back in a week to see if the donut gets updated</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-11">2016-04-11</h2>

<ul>
<li>The donut is already updated and shows the correct number now</li>
<li>CCAFS people say it will only take them an hour to update their code for the metadata renames, so I proposed we&rsquo;d do it tentatively on Monday the 18th.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-12">2016-04-12</h2>

<ul>
<li>Looking at quality of WLE data (<code>cg.subject.iwmi</code>) in SQL:</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>dspacetest=# select text_value, count(*) from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=217 group by text_value order by count(*) desc;
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>Listings and Reports is still not returning reliable data for <code>dc.type</code></li>
<li>I think we need to ask Atmire, as their documentation isn&rsquo;t too clear on the format of the filter configs</li>
<li>Alternatively, I want to see if I move all the data from <code>dc.type.output</code> to <code>dc.type</code> and then re-index, if it behaves better</li>
<li>Looking at our <code>input-forms.xml</code> I see we have two sets of ILRI subjects, but one has a few extra subjects</li>
<li>Remove one set of ILRI subjects and remove duplicate <code>VALUE CHAINS</code> from existing list (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/216">#216</a>)</li>
<li>I decided to keep the set of subjects that had <code>FMD</code> and <code>RANGELANDS</code> added, as it appears to have been requested to have been added, and might be the newer list</li>
<li>I found 226 blank metadatavalues:</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>dspacetest# select * from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and text_value='';
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>I think we should delete them and do a full re-index:</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>dspacetest=# delete from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and text_value='';
DELETE 226
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>I deleted them on CGSpace but I&rsquo;ll wait to do the re-index as we&rsquo;re going to be doing one in a few days for the metadata changes anyways</li>
<li>In other news, moving the <code>dc.type.output</code> to <code>dc.type</code> and re-indexing seems to have fixed the Listings and Reports issue from above</li>
<li>Unfortunately this isn&rsquo;t a very good solution, because Listings and Reports config should allow us to filter on <code>dc.type.*</code> but the documentation isn&rsquo;t very clear and I couldn&rsquo;t reach Atmire today</li>
<li>We want to do the <code>dc.type.output</code> move on CGSpace anyways, but we should wait as it might affect other external people!</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-14">2016-04-14</h2>

<ul>
<li>Communicate with Macaroni Bros again about <code>dc.type</code></li>
<li>Help Sisay with some rsync and Linux stuff</li>
<li>Notify CIAT people of metadata changes (I had forgotten them last week)</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-15">2016-04-15</h2>

<ul>
<li>DSpace Test had crashed, so I ran all system updates, rebooted, and re-deployed DSpace code</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="2016-04-18">2016-04-18</h2>

<ul>
<li>Talk to CIAT people about their portal again</li>
<li>Start looking more at the fields we want to delete</li>
<li>The following metadata fields have 0 items using them, so we can just remove them from the registry and any references in XMLUI, input forms, etc:

<ul>
<li>dc.description.abstractother</li>
<li>dc.whatwasknown</li>
<li>dc.whatisnew</li>
<li>dc.description.nationalpartners</li>
<li>dc.peerreviewprocess</li>
<li>cg.species.animal</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Deleted!</li>
<li>The following fields have some items using them and I have to decide what to do with them (delete or move):

<ul>
<li>dc.icsubject.icrafsubject: 6 items, mostly in CPWF collections</li>
<li>dc.type.journal: 11 items, mostly in ILRI collections</li>
<li>dc.publicationcategory: 1 item, in CPWF</li>
<li>dc.GRP: 2 items, CPWF</li>
<li>dc.Species.animal: 6 items, in ILRI and AnGR</li>
<li>cg.livestock.agegroup: 9 items, in ILRI collections</li>
<li>cg.livestock.function: 20 items, mostly in EADD</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Test metadata migration on local instance again:</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>$ ./migrate-fields.sh

<li>Test embargo during item upload</li>
<li>Seems to be working but the help text is misleading as to the date format</li>
<li>It turns out the <code>robots.txt</code> issue we thought we solved last month isn&rsquo;t solved because you can&rsquo;t use wildcards in URL patterns: <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962</a></li>
<li>Write some nginx rules to add <code>X-Robots-Tag</code> HTTP headers to the dynamic requests from <code>robots.txt</code> instead</li>
<li>A few URLs to test with:

<li>I woke up to ten or fifteen &ldquo;up&rdquo; and &ldquo;down&rdquo; emails from the monitoring website</li>
<li>Looks like the last one was &ldquo;down&rdquo; from about four hours ago</li>
<li>I think there must be something with this REST stuff:</li>

<li>Problems with stability again. I&rsquo;ve blocked access to <code>/rest</code> for now to see if the number of errors in the log files drop</li>
<li>Later we could maybe start logging access to <code>/rest</code> and perhaps whitelist some IPs&hellip;</li>

<ul>
<li>Logs for today and yesterday have zero references to this REST error, so I&rsquo;m going to open back up the REST API but log all requests</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>location /rest {
	access_log /var/log/nginx/rest.log;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8443;
}
</code></pre>

<ul>
<li>I will check the logs again in a few days to look for patterns, see who is accessing it, etc</li>
