A few users noticed that CGSpace wasn’t loading items today, item pages seem blank

<li>Also, Linode is alerting that we had high outbound traffic rate early this morning around midnight AND high CPU load later in the morning</li>
<li>First looking at the traffic in the morning:</li>
<li>64.39.99.13 belongs to Qualys, but I see they are using a normal desktop user agent:</li>
</ul>
<pretabindex="0"><code>Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.1.1 Safari/605.1.15
</code></pre><ul>
<li>I will purge hits from that IP from Solr</li>
<li>The 199.47.87.x IPs belong to Turnitin, and apparently they are NOT marked as bots and we have 40,000 hits from them in 2020 statistics alone:</li>
<li>They used to be “TurnitinBot”… hhmmmm, seems they use both: <ahref="https://turnitin.com/robot/crawlerinfo.html">https://turnitin.com/robot/crawlerinfo.html</a></li>
<li>I will add Turnitin to the DSpace bot user agent list, but I see they are reqesting <code>robots.txt</code> and only requesting item pages, so that’s impressive! I don’t need to add them to the “bad bot” rate limit list in nginx</li>
<li>While looking at the logs I noticed eighty-one IPs in the range 185.152.250.x making little requests this user agent:</li>
</ul>
<pretabindex="0"><code>Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0
<li>It’s only a few hundred requests each, but I am very suspicious so I will record it here and purge their IPs from Solr</li>
<li>Then I see 185.187.30.14 and 185.187.30.13 making requests also, with several different “normal” user agents
<ul>
<li>They are both apparently in France, belonging to Scalair FR hosting</li>
<li>I will purge their requests from Solr too</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Now I see some other new bots I hadn’t noticed before:
<ul>
<li><code>Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0) LinkCheck by Siteimprove.com</code></li>
<li><code>Consilio (WebHare Platform 4.28.2-dev); LinkChecker)</code>, which appears to be a <ahref="https://www.utwente.nl/en/websites/webhare/">university CMS</a></li>
<li>I will add <code>LinkCheck</code>, <code>Consilio</code>, and <code>WebHare</code> to the list of DSpace bot agents and purge them from Solr stats</li>
<li>COUNTER-Robots list already has <code>link.?check</code> but for some reason DSpace didn’t match that and I see hits for some of these…</li>
<li>Maybe I should add <code>[Ll]ink.?[Cc]heck.?</code> to a custom list for now?</li>
<li>For now I added <code>Turnitin</code> to the <ahref="https://github.com/atmire/COUNTER-Robots/pull/34">new bots pull request on COUNTER-Robots</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I purged 20,000 hits from IPs and 45,000 hits from user agents</li>
<li>I will revert the default “example” agents file back to the upstream master branch of COUNTER-Robots, and then add all my custom ones that are pending in pull requests they haven’t merged yet:</li>

<li>Peter also asked me to increase the size of links in the CGSpace “Welcome” text
<ul>
<li>I suggested using the CSS <code>font-size: larger</code> property to just bump it up one relative to what it already is</li>

<li>I emailed FAO’s AGROVOC contact to ask them</li>
<li>They responded to say that <code>matchedPrefLabel</code> is not a property in SKOS/SKOSXL vocabulary, but their SKOSMOS system seems to use it to hint that the search terms matched a <code>prefLabel</code> in another language</li>

<li>I started analyzing the situation with the cases I’ve seen where a Solr record fails to be migrated:
<ul>
<li><code>id: 0-unmigrated</code> are mostly (all?) <code>type: 5</code> aka site view</li>
<li><code>id: -1-unmigrated</code> are mostly (all?) <code>type: 5</code> aka site view</li>
<li><code>id: -1</code> are mostly (all?) <code>type: 5</code> aka site view</li>
<li><code>id: 59184-unmigrated</code> where “59184” is the id of an item or bitstream that no longer exists</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Why doesn’t Atmire’s code ignore any id with “-unmigrated”?</li>
<li>I sent feedback to Atmire since they had responded to my previous question yesterday
<ul>
<li>They said that the DSpace 6 version of CUA does not work with Tomcat 8.5…</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I spent a few hours trying to write a <ahref="https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC5x/Curation+tasks+in+Jython">Jython-based curation task</a> to update ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 country codes based on each item’s ISO 3166-1 country
<ul>
<li>Peter doesn’t want to use the ISO 3166-1 list because he objects to a few names, so I thought we might be able to use country codes or numeric codes and update the names with a curation task</li>
<li>The work is very rough but kinda works: <ahref="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/6a31af592b3467f7b63ac8aea7c75d52">mytask.py</a></li>
<li>What is nice is that the <code>dso.update()</code> method updates the data the “DSpace way” so we don’t need to re-index Solr</li>
<li>I had a clever idea to “vendor” the pycountry code using <code>pip install pycountry -t</code>, but pycountry dropped support for Python 2 in 2019 so we can only use an outdated version</li>
<li>In the end it’s really limiting to this particular task in Jython because we are stuck with Python 2, we can’t use virtual environments, and there is a lot of code we’d need to write to be able to handle the ISO 3166 country lists</li>
<li>Python 2 is no longer supported by the Python community anyways so it’s probably better to figure out how to do this in Java</li>

<li>The Atmire stats tool (com.atmire.statistics.util.update.atomic.AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI) created 150GB of log files due to errors and the disk got full on DSpace Test (linode26)

<li>This morning I had noticed that the run I started last night said that 54,000,000 (54 million!) records failed to process, but the core only had 6 million or so documents to process…!</li>
