<li>I was trying to add Felix Shaw’s account back to the Administrators group on DSpace Test, but I couldn’t find his name in the user search of the groups page
<ul>
<li>If I searched for “Felix” or “Shaw” I saw other matches, included one for his personal email address!</li>
<li>I ended up finding him via searching for his email address</li>
<li>The other thing visible there is that the past few days the load has spiked to 500% and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Solr updating thing is happening…</li>
<li>Udana asked why item <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/91278"><sup>10568</sup>⁄<sub>91278</sub></a> didn’t have an Altmetric badge on CGSpace, but on the <ahref="https://wle.cgiar.org/food-and-agricultural-innovation-pathways-prosperity">WLE website</a> it does
<ul>
<li>I looked and saw that the WLE website is using the Altmetric score associated with the DOI, and that the Handle has no score at all</li>
<li>I tweeted the item and I assume this will link the Handle with the DOI in the system</li>
<li>Linode sent an alert that there was high CPU usage this morning on CGSpace (linode18) and these were the top IPs in the webserver access logs around the time:</li>
<li><code>45.5.184.72</code> is in Colombia so it’s probably CIAT, and I see they are indeed trying to get crawl the Discover pages on CIAT’s datasets collection:</li>
<li>Their user agent is the one I added to the badbots list in nginx last week: “GuzzleHttp/6.3.3 curl/7.47.0 PHP/7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1”</li>
<li>They made 22,000 requests to Discover on this collection today alone (and it’s only 11AM):</li>
<li>I need to find a contact at CIAT to tell them to use the REST API rather than crawling Discover</li>
<li>Maria from Bioversity recommended that we use the phrase “AGROVOC subject” instead of “Subject” in Listings and Reports
<ul>
<li>I made a pull request to update this and merged it to the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/418">#418</a>)</li>
<li>Looking into the impact of harvesters like <code>45.5.184.72</code>, I see in Solr that this user is not categorized as a bot so it definitely impacts the usage stats by some tens of thousands <em>per day</em></li>
<li>I am trying to see if these are registered as downloads in Solr or not</li>
<li>I see 96,925 downloads from their AWS gateway IPs in 2019-03:</li>

<li>Making some tests on GET vs HEAD requests on the <ahref="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/100289">CTA Spore 192 item</a> on DSpace Test:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ http --print Hh GET https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/bitstream/handle/10568/100289/Spore-192-EN-web.pdf
GET /bitstream/handle/10568/100289/Spore-192-EN-web.pdf HTTP/1.1
<li>So definitely the <em>size</em> of the transfer is more efficient with a HEAD, but I need to wait to see if these requests show up in Solr
<ul>
<li>After twenty minutes of waiting I still don’t see any new requests in the statistics core, but when I try the requests from the command line again I see the following in the DSpace log:</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<pre><code>2019-04-07 02:05:30,966 INFO org.dspace.usage.LoggerUsageEventListener @ anonymous:session_id=EF2DB6E4F69926C5555B3492BB0071A8:ip_addr=78.x.x.x:view_bitstream:bitstream_id=165818

</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>So my inclination is that both HEAD and GET requests are registered as views as far as Solr and DSpace are concerned
<ul>
<li>Strangely, the statistics Solr core says it hasn’t been modified in 24 hours, so I tried to start the “optimize” process from the Admin UI and I see this in the Solr log:</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<pre><code>2019-04-07 02:08:44,186 INFO org.apache.solr.update.UpdateHandler @ start commit{,optimize=true,openSearcher=true,waitSearcher=true,expungeDeletes=false,softCommit=false,prepareCommit=false}
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Ugh, even after optimizing there are no Solr results for requests from my IP, and actually I only see 18 results from 2019-04 so far and none of them are <code>statistics_type:view</code>… very weird
<ul>
<li>I don’t even see many hits for days after 2019-03-17, when I migrated the server to Ubuntu 18.04 and copied the statistics core from CGSpace (linode18)</li>
<li>I will try to re-deploy the <code>5_x-dev</code> branch and test again</li>
</ul></li>
<li>According to the <ahref="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/SOLR+Statistics">DSpace 5.x Solr documentation</a> the default commit time is after 15 minutes or 10,000 documents (see <code>solrconfig.xml</code>)</li>
<li>I looped some GET and HEAD requests to a bitstream on my local instance and after some time I see that they <em>do</em> register as downloads (even though they are internal):</li>

<ul>
<li>I confirmed the same on CGSpace itself after making one HEAD request</li>
<li>So I’m pretty sure it’s something about DSpace Test using the CGSpace statistics core, and not that I deployed Solr 4.10.4 there last week
<ul>
<li>I deployed Solr 4.10.4 locally and ran a bunch of requests for bitstreams and they do show up in the Solr statistics log, so the issue must be with re-using the existing Solr core from CGSpace</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Now this gets more frustrating: I did the same GET and HEAD tests on a local Ubuntu 16.04 VM with Solr 4.10.2 and 4.10.4 and the statistics are recorded
<ul>
<li>This leads me to believe there is something specifically wrong with DSpace Test (linode19)</li>
<li>The only thing I can think of is that the JVM is using G1GC instead of ConcMarkSweepGC</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Holy shit, all this is actually because of the GeoIP1 deprecation and a missing <code>GeoLiteCity.dat</code>
<ul>
<li>For some reason the missing GeoIP data causes stats to not be recorded whatsoever and there is no error!</li>
<li>DSpace 5.10 upgraded to use GeoIP2, but we are on 5.8 so I just copied the missing database file from another server because it has been <em>removed</em> from MaxMind’s server as of 2018-04-01</li>
<li>Now I made 100 requests and I see them in the Solr statistics… fuck my life for wasting five hours debugging this</li>
<li>UptimeRobot said CGSpace went down and up a few times tonight, and my first instict was to check <code>iostat 1 10</code> and I saw that CPU steal is around 10–30 percent right now…</li>
<li>The load average is super high right now, as I’ve noticed the last few times UptimeRobot said that CGSpace went down:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ cat /proc/loadavg

<ul>
<li>According to the server logs there is actually not much going on right now:</li>
<li>Start checking IITA’s last round of batch uploads from <ahref="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/100333">March on DSpace Test</a> (20193rd.xls)
<ul>
<li>Lots of problems with affiliations, I had to correct about sixty of them</li>
<li>I used lein to host the latest CSV of our affiliations for OpenRefine to reconcile against:</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ lein run ~/src/git/DSpace/2019-02-22-affiliations.csv name id
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>After matching the values and creating some new matches I had trouble remembering how to copy the reconciled values to a new column
<ul>
<li>The matched values can be accessed with <code>cell.recon.match.name</code>, but some of the new values don’t appear, perhaps because I edited the original cell values?</li>
<li>I ended up using this GREL expression to copy all values to a new column:</li>
<li>See the <ahref="https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Variables#recon">OpenRefine variables documentation</a> for more notes about the <code>recon</code> object</li>
<li>I also noticed a handful of errors in our current list of affiliations so I corrected them:</li>
<pre><code>dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value, count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_field_id = 211 AND resource_type_id = 2 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 1500) to /tmp/2019-04-08-top-1500-affiliations.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 1500
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Fix a few more messed up affiliations that have return characters in them (use Ctrl-V Ctrl-M to re-create control character):</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_value='International Institute for Environment and Development' WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 211 AND text_value LIKE 'International Institute^M%';
dspace=# UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_value='Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization' WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 211 AND text_value LIKE 'Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research^M%';
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I noticed a bunch of subjects and affiliations that use stylized apostrophes so I will export those and then batch update them:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 211 AND text_value LIKE '%’%') to /tmp/2019-04-08-affiliations-apostrophes.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 60
dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 57 AND text_value LIKE '%’%') to /tmp/2019-04-08-subject-apostrophes.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 20
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I cleaned them up in OpenRefine and then applied the fixes on CGSpace and DSpace Test:</li>

<li>Linode Support still didn’t respond to my ticket from yesterday, so I attached a new output of <code>iostat 1 10</code> and asked them to move the VM to a less busy host</li>
<li><code>45.5.186.2</code> is at CIAT in Colombia and I see they are mostly making requests to the REST API, but also to XMLUI with the following user agent:</li>

<li>Leroy from CIAT contacted me to say he knows the team who is making all those requests to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I told them how to use the REST API to get the CIAT Datasets collection and enumerate its items</li>
</ul></li>
<li>In other news, Linode staff identified a noisy neighbor sharing our host and migrated it elsewhere last night</li>

<li>Abenet pointed out a possibility of validating funders against the <ahref="https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/articles/215788143-Funder-data-via-the-API">CrossRef API</a></li>
<li>Note that if you use HTTPS and specify a contact address in the API request you have less likelihood of being blocked</li>
<li>Otherwise, they provide the funder data in <ahref="https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/">CSV and RDF format</a></li>
<li>I did a quick test with the recent IITA records against reconcile-csv in OpenRefine and it matched a few, but the ones that didn’t match will need a human to go and do some manual checking and informed decision making…</li>

<li>I validated all the AGROVOC subjects against our latest list with reconcile-csv</li>
<li>About 720 of the 900 terms were matched, then I checked and fixed or deleted the rest manually</li>
<li>I captured a few general corrections and deletions for AGROVOC subjects while looking at IITA’s records, so I applied them to DSpace Test and CGSpace:</li>
<li>They can’t seem to understand the Altmetric + Twitter flow for associating Handles and DOIs</li>
<li>To make things worse, many of their items DON’T have DOIs, so when Altmetric harvests them of course there is no link! - Then, a bunch of their items don’t have scores because they never tweeted them!</li>
<li>They added a DOI to this old item <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/97087"><sup>10567</sup>⁄<sub>97087</sub></a> this morning and wonder why Altmetric’s score hasn’t linked with the DOI magically</li>
<li>We should check in a week to see if Altmetric will make the association after one week when they harvest again</li>
<li>I copied the <code>statistics</code> and <code>statistics-2018</code> Solr cores from CGSpace to my local machine and watched the Java process in VisualVM while indexing item views and downloads with my <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api">dspace-statistics-api</a>:</li>
</ul>
<p><imgsrc="/cgspace-notes/2019/04/visualvm-solr-indexing.png"alt="Java GC during Solr indexing with CMS"/></p>
<ul>
<li>It took about eight minutes to index 784 pages of item views and 268 of downloads, and you can see a clear “sawtooth” pattern in the garbage collection</li>
<li>I am curious if the GC pattern would be different if I switched from the <code>-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC</code> to G1GC</li>
<li>I switched to G1GC and restarted Tomcat but for some reason I couldn’t see the Tomcat PID in VisualVM…
<ul>
<li>Anyways, the indexing process took much longer, perhaps twice as long!</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I tried again with the GC tuning settings from the Solr 4.10.4 release:</li>

<p><imgsrc="/cgspace-notes/2019/04/visualvm-solr-indexing-solr-settings.png"alt="Java GC during Solr indexing Solr 4.10.4 settings"/></p>
<li>Pretty annoying to see CGSpace (linode18) with 20–50% CPU steal according to <code>iostat 1 10</code>, though I haven’t had any Linode alerts in a few days</li>
<li>Abenet sent me a list of ILRI items that don’t have CRPs added to them
<ul>
<li>The spreadsheet only had Handles (no IDs), so I’m experimenting with using Python in OpenRefine to get the IDs</li>
<li>I cloned the handle column and then did a transform to get the IDs from the CGSpace REST API:</li>
<li>Export IITA’s community from CGSpace because they want to experiment with importing it into their internal DSpace for some testing or something</li>
<li>Reading an interesting <ahref="https://teaspoon-consulting.com/articles/solr-cache-tuning.html">blog post about Solr caching</a></li>
<li>Did some tests of the dspace-statistics-api on my local DSpace instance with 28 million documents in a sharded statistics core (<code>statistics</code> and <code>statistics-2018</code>) and monitored the memory usage of Tomcat in VisualVM</li>
<li>4GB heap, CMS GC, 512 filter cache, 512 query cache, with 28 million documents in two shards
<ul>
<li>Run 1:</li>
<li>Time: 3.11s user 0.44s system 0% cpu 13:45.07 total</li>
<li>Tomcat (not Solr) max JVM heap usage: 2.04 GiB</li>
<li>Run 2:</li>
<li>Time: 3.23s user 0.43s system 0% cpu 13:46.10 total</li>
<li>Tomcat (not Solr) max JVM heap usage: 2.06 GiB</li>
<li>Run 3:</li>
<li>Time: 3.23s user 0.42s system 0% cpu 13:14.70 total</li>
<li>Tomcat (not Solr) max JVM heap usage: 2.13 GiB</li>
<li>The biggest takeaway I have is that this workload benefits from a larger <code>filterCache</code> (for Solr fq parameter), but barely uses the <code>queryResultCache</code> (for Solr q parameter) at all
<ul>
<li>The number of hits goes up and the time taken decreases when we increase the <code>filterCache</code>, and total JVM heap memory doesn’t seem to increase much at all</li>
<li>I guess the <code>queryResultCache</code> size is always 2 because I’m only doing two queries: <code>type:0</code> and <code>type:2</code> (downloads and views, respectively)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Here is the general pattern of running three sequential indexing runs as seen in VisualVM while monitoring the Tomcat process:</li>
<li>I ran one test with a <code>filterCache</code> of 16384 to try to see if I could make the Tomcat JVM memory balloon, but actually it <em>drastically</em> increased the performance and memory usage of the dspace-statistics-api indexer</li>
<li>4GB heap, CMS GC, 16384 filter cache, 512 query cache, with 28 million documents in two shards
<ul>
<li>Run 1:</li>
<li>Time: 2.85s user 0.42s system 2% cpu 2:28.92 total</li>
<li>I’ve been trying to copy the <code>statistics-2018</code> Solr core from CGSpace to DSpace Test since yesterday, but the network speed is like 20KiB/sec
<ul>
<li>I opened a support ticket to ask Linode to investigate</li>
<li>They asked me to send an <code>mtr</code> report from Fremont to Frankfurt and vice versa</li>
<li>Deploy Tomcat 7.0.94 on DSpace Test (linode19)
<ul>
<li>Also, I realized that the CMS GC changes I deployed a few days ago were ignored by Tomcat because of something with how Ansible formatted the options string</li>
<li>I needed to use the “folded” YAML variable format <code>>-</code> (with the dash so it doesn’t add a return at the end)</li>
<li>UptimeRobot says that CGSpace went “down” this afternoon, but I looked at the CPU steal with <code>iostat 1 10</code> and it’s in the 50s and 60s
<ul>
<li>The munin graph shows a lot of CPU steal (red) currently (and over all during the week):</li>
<li>Linode agreed to move CGSpace (linode18) to a new machine shortly after I filed my ticket about CPU steal two days ago and now the load is much more sane:</li>
<li>Abenet pointed out <ahref="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97912">an item</a> that doesn’t have an Altmetric score on CGSpace, but has a score of 343 in the CGSpace Altmetric dashboard
<ul>
<li>I tweeted the Handle to see if it will pick it up…</li>
<li>Like clockwork, after fifteen minutes there was a donut showing on CGSpace</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I want to get rid of this annoying warning that is constantly in our DSpace logs:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>2019-04-08 19:02:31,770 WARN org.dspace.xoai.services.impl.xoai.DSpaceRepositoryConfiguration @ { OAI 2.0 :: DSpace } Not able to retrieve the dspace.oai.url property from oai.cfg. Falling back to request address

</ul>
<pre><code>$ grep -c 'Falling back to request address' dspace.log.2019-04-20
dspace.log.2019-04-20:1515
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I will fix it in <code>dspace/config/modules/oai.cfg</code></li>
<li>Linode says that it is likely that the host CGSpace (linode18) is on is showing signs of hardware failure and they recommended that I migrate the VM to a new host
<ul>
<li>I told them to migrate it at 04:00:00AM Frankfurt time, when nobody in East Africa, Europe, or South America should be using the server</li>
<li>One blog post says that there is <ahref="https://kvaes.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/what-azure-virtual-machine-size-should-i-pick/">no overprovisioning in Azure</a>:</li>
</ul>
<blockquotecite="https://kvaes.wordpress.com/2017/07/01/what-azure-virtual-machine-size-should-i-pick/">In Azure, with one exception being the A0, there is no overprovisioning… Each physical cores is only supporting one virtual core.</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Perhaps that’s why the <ahref="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux/">Azure pricing</a> is so expensive!</li>
<li>Add a privacy page to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>The work was mostly similar to the About page at <code>/page/about</code>, but in addition to adding i18n strings etc, I had to add the logic for the trail to <code>dspace-xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/xsl/preprocess/general.xsl</code></li>
<li>I copied the 18GB <code>statistics-2018</code> Solr core from Frankfurt to a Linode in London at 15MiB/sec, then from the London one to DSpace Test in Fremont at 15MiB/sec… so WTF us up with Frankfurt→Fremont?!</li>
<li>Finally upload the 218 IITA items from March to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>Abenet and I had to do a little bit more work to correct the metadata of one item that appeared to be a duplicate, but really just had the wrong DOI</li>
</ul></li>
<li>While I was uploading the IITA records I noticed that twenty of the records Sisay uploaded in 2018-09 had double Handles (<code>dc.identifier.uri</code>)

<li>According to my notes in 2018-09 I had noticed this when he uploaded the records and told him to remove them, but he didn’t…</li>
<li>I exported the IITA community as a CSV then used <code>csvcut</code> to extract the two URI columns and identify and fix the records:</li>
<li>Carlos Tejo from the Land Portal had been emailing me this week to ask about the old REST API that Tsega was building in 2017
<ul>
<li>I told him we never finished it, and that he should try to use the <code>/items/find-by-metadata-field</code> endpoint, with the caveat that you need to match the language attribute exactly (ie “en”, “en_US”, null, etc)</li>
<li>I asked him how many terms they are interested in, as we could probably make it easier by normalizing the language attributes of these fields (it would help us anyways)</li>
<li>Note that curl only shows the HTTP 401 error if you use <code>-f</code> (fail), and only then if you <em>don’t</em> include <code>-s</code>
<ul>
<li>I see there are about 1,000 items using CPWF subject “WATER MANAGEMENT” in the database, so there should definitely be results</li>
<li>The breakdown of <code>text_lang</code> fields used in those items is 942:</li>
</ul></li>

<li>I see that the HTTP 401 issue seems to be a bug due to an item that the user doesn’t have permission to access… from the DSpace log:</li>
