&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Merge the &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/425&#34;&gt;Solr filterCache&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/426&#34;&gt;XMLUI ISI journal&lt;/a&gt; changes to the &lt;code&gt;5_x-prod&lt;/code&gt; branch and deploy on CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;2019-06-03&#34;&gt;2019-06-03&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Skype with Marie-Angélique and Abenet about &lt;a href=&#34;https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html&#34;&gt;CG Core v2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Help CCAFS with regenerating some item thumbnails after they uploaded new PDFs to some items on CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A user on the dspace-tech mailing list offered some suggestions for troubleshooting the problem with the inability to delete certain items

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apparently if the item is in the &lt;code&gt;workflowitem&lt;/code&gt; table it is submitted to a workflow&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And if it is in the &lt;code&gt;workspaceitem&lt;/code&gt; table it is in the pre-submitted state&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The item seems to be in a pre-submitted state, so I tried to delete it from there:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dspace=# DELETE FROM workspaceitem WHERE item_id=74648;
DELETE 1
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;But after this I tried to delete the item from the XMLUI and it is &lt;em&gt;still&lt;/em&gt; present&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meeting with AgroKnow to discuss CGSpace, ILRI data, AReS, GARDIAN, etc

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They asked if we had plans to enable RDF support in CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been 4,400 more downloads of the CTA Spore publication from those strange Amazon IP addresses today&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suspected that some might not be successful, because the stats show less, but today they were all HTTP 200!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# cat /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/access.log.1 | grep &#39;Spore-192-EN-web.pdf&#39; | grep -E &#39;(18.196.196.108|18.195.78.144|18.195.218.6)&#39; | awk &#39;{print $9}&#39; | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 5
4432 200
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the last two weeks there have been 47,000 downloads of this &lt;em&gt;same exact PDF&lt;/em&gt; by these three IP addresses&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apply country and region corrections and deletions on DSpace Test and CGSpace:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-02-21-fix-9-countries.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p &#39;fuuu&#39; -f cg.coverage.country -m 228 -t ACTION -d
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-02-21-fix-4-regions.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p &#39;fuuu&#39; -f cg.coverage.region -m 231 -t action -d
$ ./delete-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-02-21-delete-2-countries.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p &#39;fuuu&#39; -m 228 -f cg.coverage.country -d
$ ./delete-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-02-21-delete-1-region.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p &#39;fuuu&#39; -m 231 -f cg.coverage.region -d
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2019-03-01&#34;&gt;2019-03-01&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I checked IITA&amp;rsquo;s 259 Feb 14 records from last month for duplicates using Atmire&amp;rsquo;s Duplicate Checker on a fresh snapshot of CGSpace on my local machine and everything looks good&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am now only waiting to hear from her about where the items should go, though I assume Journal Articles go to IITA Journal Articles collection, etc&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looking at the other half of Udana&amp;rsquo;s WLE records from 2018-11

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I finished the ones for Restoring Degraded Landscapes (RDL), but these are for Variability, Risks and Competing Uses (VRC)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I did the usual cleanups for whitespace, added regions where they made sense for certain countries, cleaned up the DOI link formats, added rights information based on the publications page for a few items&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Most worryingly, there are encoding errors in the abstracts for eleven items, for example:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;68.15% <20> 9.45 instead of 68.15% ± 9.45&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2003<EFBFBD>2013 instead of 2003–2013&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I think I will need to ask Udana to re-copy and paste the abstracts with more care using Google Docs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linode has alerted a few times since last night that the CPU usage on CGSpace (linode18) was high despite me increasing the alert threshold last week from 250% to 275%—I might need to increase it again!&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The top IPs before, during, and after this latest alert tonight were:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E &amp;quot;01/Feb/2019:(17|18|19|20|21)&amp;quot; | awk &#39;{print $1}&#39; | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
245 207.46.13.5
332 54.70.40.11

1117 66.249.66.219
1121 35.237.175.180
1546 5.9.6.51
2474 45.5.186.2
5490 85.25.237.71
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;85.25.237.71&lt;/code&gt; is the &amp;ldquo;Linguee Bot&amp;rdquo; that I first saw last month&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Solr statistics the past few months have been very high and I was wondering if the web server logs also showed an increase&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were just over 3 million accesses in the nginx logs last month:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# time zcat --force /var/log/nginx/* | grep -cE &amp;quot;[0-9]{1,2}/Jan/2019&amp;quot;
3018243

sys     0m1.979s
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linode alerted that CGSpace (linode18) had a higher outbound traffic rate than normal early this morning&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;rsquo;t see anything interesting in the web server logs around that time though:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E &amp;quot;02/Jan/2019:0(1|2|3)&amp;quot; | awk &#39;{print $1}&#39; | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2018-12-01&#34;&gt;2018-12-01&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Switch CGSpace (linode18) to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I manually installed OpenJDK, then removed Oracle JDK, then re-ran the &lt;a href=&#34;http://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public&#34;&gt;Ansible playbook&lt;/a&gt; to update all configuration files, etc&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then I ran all system updates and restarted the server&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;2018-12-02&#34;&gt;2018-12-02&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I noticed that there is another issue with PDF thumbnails on CGSpace, and I see there was another &lt;a href=&#34;https://usn.ubuntu.com/3831-1/&#34;&gt;Ghostscript vulnerability last week&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finalize AReS Phase I and Phase II ToRs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Send a note about my &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api&#34;&gt;dspace-statistics-api&lt;/a&gt; to the dspace-tech mailing list&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;2018-11-03&#34;&gt;2018-11-03&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linode has been sending mails a few times a day recently that CGSpace (linode18) has had high CPU usage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Today these are the top 10 IPs:&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Phil Thornton got an ORCID identifier so we need to add it to the list on CGSpace and tag his existing items&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I created a GitHub issue to track this &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/389&#34;&gt;#389&lt;/a&gt;, because I&amp;rsquo;m super busy in Nairobi right now&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New &lt;a href=&#34;https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/changelog.html#version_42.2.5&#34;&gt;PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ll update the DSpace role in our &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public&#34;&gt;Ansible infrastructure playbooks&lt;/a&gt; and run the updated playbooks on CGSpace and DSpace Test&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, I&amp;rsquo;ll re-run the &lt;code&gt;postgresql&lt;/code&gt; tasks because the custom PostgreSQL variables are dynamic according to the system&amp;rsquo;s RAM, and we never re-ran them after migrating to larger Linodes last month&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m testing the new DSpace 5.8 branch in my Ubuntu 18.04 environment and I&amp;rsquo;m getting those autowire errors in Tomcat 8.5.30 again:&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2018-08-01&#34;&gt;2018-08-01&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;DSpace Test had crashed at some point yesterday morning and I see the following in &lt;code&gt;dmesg&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] Out of memory: Kill process 1394 (java) score 668 or sacrifice child
[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] Killed process 1394 (java) total-vm:15601860kB, anon-rss:5355528kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
[Tue Jul 31 00:00:41 2018] oom_reaper: reaped process 1394 (java), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judging from the time of the crash it was probably related to the Discovery indexing that starts at midnight&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the DSpace log I see that eventually Solr stopped responding, so I guess the &lt;code&gt;java&lt;/code&gt; process that was OOM killed above was Tomcat&amp;rsquo;s&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&amp;rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyways, perhaps I should increase the JVM heap from 5120m to 6144m like we did a few months ago when we tried to run the whole CGSpace Solr core&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The server only has 8GB of RAM so we&amp;rsquo;ll eventually need to upgrade to a larger one because we&amp;rsquo;ll start starving the OS, PostgreSQL, and command line batch processes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I ran all system updates on DSpace Test and rebooted it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to upgrade DSpace Test to DSpace 5.8 so I took a backup of its current database just in case:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ pg_dump -b -v -o --format=custom -U dspace -f dspace-2018-07-01.backup dspace
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the &lt;code&gt;mvn package&lt;/code&gt; stage on the 5.8 branch I kept getting issues with java running out of memory:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There seems to be a problem with the CUA and L&amp;amp;R versions in &lt;code&gt;pom.xml&lt;/code&gt; because they are using SNAPSHOT and it doesn&amp;rsquo;t build&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I added the new CCAFS Phase II Project Tag &lt;code&gt;PII-FP1_PACCA2&lt;/code&gt; and merged it into the &lt;code&gt;5_x-prod&lt;/code&gt; branch (&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/379&#34;&gt;#379&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I proofed and tested the ILRI author corrections that Peter sent back to me this week:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2018-05-30-Correct-660-authors.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p &#39;fuuu&#39; -f dc.contributor.author -t correct -m 3 -n
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think a sane proofing workflow in OpenRefine is to apply the custom text facets for check/delete/remove and illegal characters that I developed in &lt;a href=&#34;https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-03/&#34;&gt;March, 2018&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ time schedtool -D -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 [dspace]/bin/dspace index-discovery -b                                  

real    74m42.646s
user    8m5.056s
sys     2m7.289s
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I cleared the Solr statistics core on DSpace Test by issuing two commands directly to the Solr admin interface:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E&#34;&gt;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Ccommit/%3E&#34;&gt;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Ccommit/%3E&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then I reduced the JVM heap size from 6144 back to 5120m&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, I switched it to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java, as well as re-worked the &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public&#34;&gt;Ansible infrastructure scripts&lt;/a&gt; to support hosts choosing which distribution they want to use&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I tried to test something on DSpace Test but noticed that it&amp;rsquo;s down since god knows when&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Catalina logs at least show some memory errors yesterday:&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Peter gave feedback on the &lt;code&gt;dc.rights&lt;/code&gt; proof of concept that I had sent him last week&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We don&amp;rsquo;t need to distinguish between internal and external works, so that makes it just a simple list&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yesterday I figured out how to monitor DSpace sessions using JMX&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I copied the logic in the &lt;code&gt;jmx_tomcat_dbpools&lt;/code&gt; provided by Ubuntu&amp;rsquo;s &lt;code&gt;munin-plugins-java&lt;/code&gt; package and used the stuff I discovered about JMX &lt;a href=&#34;https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-01/&#34;&gt;in 2018-01&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2018-01-02&#34;&gt;2018-01-02&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down and up a few times last night, for a few minutes each time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t get any load alerts from Linode and the REST and XMLUI logs don&amp;rsquo;t show anything out of the ordinary&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until &lt;code&gt;02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 +0000&lt;/code&gt; when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like &amp;ldquo;Client closed the connection before file download was complete&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And just before that I see this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Caused by: org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.PoolExhaustedException: [http-bio-127.0.0.1-8443-exec-980] Timeout: Pool empty. Unable to fetch a connection in 5 seconds, none available[size:50; busy:50; idle:0; lastwait:5000].
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ah hah! So the pool was actually empty!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I need to increase that, let&amp;rsquo;s try to bump it up from 50 to 75&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;After that one client got an HTTP 499 but then the rest were HTTP 200, so I don&amp;rsquo;t know what the hell Uptime Robot saw&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I notice this error quite a few times in dspace.log:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;2018-01-02 01:21:19,137 ERROR org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.discovery.SidebarFacetsTransformer @ Error while searching for sidebar facets

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;And there are many of these errors every day for the past month:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The logs say &amp;ldquo;Timeout waiting for idle object&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PostgreSQL activity says there are 115 connections currently&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today there have been no hits by CORE and no alerts from Linode (coincidence?)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# grep -c &amp;quot;CORE&amp;quot; /var/log/nginx/access.log
0

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Generate list of authors on CGSpace for Peter to go through and correct:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) as count from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id = (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = &#39;contributor&#39; and qualifier = &#39;author&#39;) AND resource_type_id = 2 group by text_value order by count desc) to /tmp/authors.csv with csv;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peter emailed to point out that many items in the &lt;a href=&#34;https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/2703&#34;&gt;ILRI archive collection&lt;/a&gt; have multiple handles:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There appears to be a pattern but I&amp;rsquo;ll have to look a bit closer and try to clean them up automatically, either in SQL or in OpenRefine&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      <guid>https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/2017-08/</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2017-08-01&#34;&gt;2017-08-01&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Linode sent an alert that CGSpace (linode18) was using 350% CPU for the past two hours&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I looked in the Activity pane of the Admin Control Panel and it seems that Google, Baidu, Yahoo, and Bing are all crawling with massive numbers of bots concurrently (~100 total, mostly Baidu and Google)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The good thing is that, according to &lt;code&gt;dspace.log.2017-08-01&lt;/code&gt;, they are all using the same Tomcat session&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This means our Tomcat Crawler Session Valve is working&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;But many of the bots are browsing dynamic URLs like:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;/handle/10568/3353/discover&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;/handle/10568/16510/browse&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;code&gt;robots.txt&lt;/code&gt; only blocks the top-level &lt;code&gt;/discover&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/browse&lt;/code&gt; URLs&amp;hellip; we will need to find a way to forbid them from accessing these!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Relevant issue from DSpace Jira (semi resolved in DSpace 6.0): &lt;a href=&#34;https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962&#34;&gt;https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It turns out that we&amp;rsquo;re already adding the &lt;code&gt;X-Robots-Tag &amp;quot;none&amp;quot;&lt;/code&gt; HTTP header, but this only forbids the search engine from &lt;em&gt;indexing&lt;/em&gt; the page, not crawling it!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, the bot has to successfully browse the page first so it can receive the HTTP header&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We might actually have to &lt;em&gt;block&lt;/em&gt; these requests with HTTP 403 depending on the user agent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Abenet pointed out that the CGIAR Library Historical Archive collection I sent July 20th only had ~100 entries, instead of 2415&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This was due to newline characters in the &lt;code&gt;dc.description.abstract&lt;/code&gt; column, which caused OpenRefine to choke when exporting the CSV&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I exported a new CSV from the collection on DSpace Test and then manually removed the characters in vim using &lt;code&gt;g/^$/d&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then I cleaned up the author authorities and HTML characters in OpenRefine and sent the file back to Abenet&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Looking at extracting the metadata registries from ICARDA&amp;rsquo;s MEL DSpace database so we can compare fields with CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We can use PostgreSQL&amp;rsquo;s extended output format (&lt;code&gt;-x&lt;/code&gt;) plus &lt;code&gt;sed&lt;/code&gt; to format the output into quasi XML:&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>2017-06-01  After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes The cg.identifier.wletheme field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes Then we&amp;rsquo;ll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there The current &amp;ldquo;Research Themes&amp;rdquo; community will be renamed to &amp;ldquo;WLE Phase I Research Themes&amp;rdquo; Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: #328 Add cg.</description>

      <description>2017-05-01  ICARDA apparently started working on CG Core on their MEL repository They have done a few cg.* fields, but not very consistent and even copy some of CGSpace items:  https://mel.cgiar.org/xmlui/handle/20.500.11766/6911?show=full https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/73683   2017-05-02  Atmire got back about the Workflow Statistics issue, and apparently it&amp;rsquo;s a bug in the CUA module so they will send us a pull request  2017-05-04  Sync DSpace Test with database and assetstore from CGSpace Re-deploy DSpace Test with Atmire&amp;rsquo;s CUA patch for workflow statistics, run system updates, and restart the server Now I can see the workflow statistics and am able to select users, but everything returns 0 items Megan says there are still some mapped items are not appearing since last week, so I forced a full index-discovery -b Need to remember to check if the collection has more items (currently 39 on CGSpace, but 118 on the freshly reindexed DSPace Test) tomorrow: https://cgspace.</description>

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (&amp;ldquo;MANAGING CLIMATE RISK&amp;rdquo;): &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317&#34;&gt;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Quick proof-of-concept hack to add &lt;code&gt;dc.rights&lt;/code&gt; to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2017/04/dc-rights.png&#34; alt=&#34;dc.rights in the submission form&#34; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remove redundant/duplicate text in the DSpace submission license&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Testing the CMYK patch on a collection with 650 items:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ [dspace]/bin/dspace filter-media -f -i 10568/16498 -p &amp;quot;ImageMagick PDF Thumbnail&amp;quot; -v &amp;gt;&amp;amp; /tmp/filter-media-cmyk.txt

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run the 279 CIAT author corrections on CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;2017-03-02&#34;&gt;2017-03-02&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They might come in at the top level in one &amp;ldquo;CGIAR System&amp;rdquo; community, or with several communities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the &lt;code&gt;filter-media&lt;/code&gt; bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: &lt;a href=&#34;https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3516&#34;&gt;DS-3516&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discovered that the ImageMagic &lt;code&gt;filter-media&lt;/code&gt; plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x&amp;rsquo;s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x&amp;rsquo;s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see &lt;a href=&#34;https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/51999&#34;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;10568&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;frasl;&lt;sub&gt;51999&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ identify ~/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg
/Users/aorth/Desktop/alc_contrastes_desafios.jpg JPEG 464x600 464x600+0+0 8-bit CMYK 168KB 0.000u 0:00.000

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;An item was mapped twice erroneously again, so I had to remove one of the mappings manually:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dspace=# select * from collection2item where item_id = &#39;80278&#39;;
id   | collection_id | item_id
-------+---------------+---------
92551 |           313 |   80278
92550 |           313 |   80278
90774 |          1051 |   80278
(3 rows)
dspace=# delete from collection2item where id = 92551 and item_id = 80278;
DELETE 1
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create issue on GitHub to track the addition of CCAFS Phase II project tags (&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/301&#34;&gt;#301&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looks like we&amp;rsquo;ll be using &lt;code&gt;cg.identifier.ccafsprojectpii&lt;/code&gt; as the field name&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I checked to see if the Solr sharding task that is supposed to run on January 1st had run and saw there was an error&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn&amp;rsquo;t work there either&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I&amp;rsquo;m not sure if we&amp;rsquo;ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CGSpace was down for five hours in the morning while I was sleeping&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;While looking in the logs for errors, I see tons of warnings about Atmire MQM:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;2016-12-02 03:00:32,352 WARN  com.atmire.metadataquality.batchedit.BatchEditConsumer @ BatchEditConsumer should not have been given this kind of Subject in an event, skipping: org.dspace.event.Event(eventType=CREATE, SubjectType=BUNDLE, SubjectID=70316, ObjectType=(Unknown), ObjectID=-1, TimeStamp=1480647632305, dispatcher=1544803905, detail=[null], transactionID=&amp;quot;TX157907838689377964651674089851855413607&amp;quot;)

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I see thousands of them in the logs for the last few months, so it&amp;rsquo;s not related to the DSpace 5.5 upgrade&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve raised a ticket with Atmire to ask&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another worrying error from dspace.log is:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Testing adding &lt;a href=&#34;https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/ORCID+Integration#ORCIDIntegration-EditingexistingitemsusingBatchCSVEditing&#34;&gt;ORCIDs to a CSV&lt;/a&gt; file for a single item to see if the author orders get messed up&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Need to test the following scenarios to see how author order is affected:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ORCIDs only&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ORCIDs plus normal authors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I exported a random item&amp;rsquo;s metadata as CSV, deleted &lt;em&gt;all columns&lt;/em&gt; except id and collection, and made a new coloum called &lt;code&gt;ORCID:dc.contributor.author&lt;/code&gt; with the following random ORCIDs from the ORCID registry:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;0000-0002-6115-0956||0000-0002-3812-8793||0000-0001-7462-405X

&lt;li&gt;Discuss helping CCAFS with some batch tagging of ORCID IDs for their authors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Discuss how the migration of CGIAR&amp;rsquo;s Active Directory to a flat structure will break our LDAP groups in DSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We had been using &lt;code&gt;DC=ILRI&lt;/code&gt; to determine whether a user was ILRI or not&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;It looks like we might be able to use OUs now, instead of DCs:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add updated distribution license from Sisay (&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/259&#34;&gt;#259&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Play with upgrading Mirage 2 dependencies in &lt;code&gt;bower.json&lt;/code&gt; because most are several versions of out date&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bootstrap is at 3.3.0 but upstream is at 3.3.7, and upgrading to anything beyond 3.3.1 breaks glyphicons and probably more&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;bower stuff is a dead end, waste of time, too many issues&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Anything after Bootstrap 3.3.1 makes glyphicons disappear (HTTP 404 trying to access from incorrect path of &lt;code&gt;fonts&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Start working on DSpace 5.1 → 5.5 port:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ git checkout -b 55new 5_x-prod
$ git reset --hard ilri/5_x-prod
$ git rebase -i dspace-5.5
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add &lt;code&gt;dc.description.sponsorship&lt;/code&gt; to Discovery sidebar facets and make investors clickable in item view (&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/232&#34;&gt;#232&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think this query should find and replace all authors that have &amp;ldquo;,&amp;rdquo; at the end of their names:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set text_value = regexp_replace(text_value, &#39;(^.+?),$&#39;, &#39;\1&#39;) where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ &#39;^.+?,$&#39;;
UPDATE 95
dspacetest=# select text_value from  metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ &#39;^.+?,$&#39;;
text_value
------------
(0 rows)
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this case the select query was showing 95 results before the update&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Experimenting with IFPRI OAI (we want to harvest their publications)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After reading the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.oclc.org/support/services/contentdm/help/server-admin-help/oai-support.en.html&#34;&gt;ContentDM documentation&lt;/a&gt; I found IFPRI&amp;rsquo;s OAI endpoint: &lt;a href=&#34;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php&#34;&gt;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;This is their publications set: &lt;a href=&#34;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc&#34;&gt;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can see the others by using the OAI &lt;code&gt;ListSets&lt;/code&gt; verb: &lt;a href=&#34;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListSets&#34;&gt;http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListSets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Working on second phase of metadata migration, looks like this will work for moving CPWF-specific data in &lt;code&gt;dc.identifier.fund&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;cg.identifier.cpwfproject&lt;/code&gt; and then the rest to &lt;code&gt;dc.description.sponsorship&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Since yesterday there have been 10,000 REST errors and the site has been unstable again&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I have blocked access to the API now&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are 3,000 IPs accessing the REST API in a 24-hour period!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# awk &#39;{print $1}&#39; /var/log/nginx/rest.log  | uniq | wc -l
3168
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

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

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looking at issues with author authorities on CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For some reason we still have the &lt;code&gt;index-lucene-update&lt;/code&gt; cron job active on CGSpace, but I&amp;rsquo;m pretty sure we don&amp;rsquo;t need it as of the latest few versions of Atmire&amp;rsquo;s Listings and Reports module&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reinstall my local (Mac OS X) DSpace stack with Tomcat 7, PostgreSQL 9.3, and Java JDK 1.7 to match environment on CGSpace server&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looking at some DAGRIS data for Abenet Yabowork&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lots of issues with spaces, newlines, etc causing the import to fail&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I noticed we have a very &lt;em&gt;interesting&lt;/em&gt; list of countries on CGSpace:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2016/02/cgspace-countries.png&#34; alt=&#34;CGSpace country list&#34; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not only are there 49,000 countries, we have some blanks (25)&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also, lots of things like &amp;ldquo;COTE D`LVOIRE&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;COTE D IVOIRE&amp;rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2016-01-13&#34;&gt;2016-01-13&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Move ILRI collection &lt;code&gt;10568/12503&lt;/code&gt; from &lt;code&gt;10568/27869&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;10568/27629&lt;/code&gt; using the &lt;a href=&#34;https://gist.github.com/alanorth/392c4660e8b022d99dfa&#34;&gt;move_collections.sh&lt;/a&gt; script I wrote last year.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I realized it is only necessary to clear the Cocoon cache after moving collections—rather than reindexing—as no metadata has changed, and therefore no search or browse indexes need to be updated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Update GitHub wiki for documentation of &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/wiki/Maintenance-Tasks&#34;&gt;maintenance tasks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2015-12-02&#34;&gt;2015-12-02&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Replace &lt;code&gt;lzop&lt;/code&gt; with &lt;code&gt;xz&lt;/code&gt; in log compression cron jobs on DSpace Test—it uses less space:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# cd /home/dspacetest.cgiar.org/log
# ls -lh dspace.log.2015-11-18*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 2.0M Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 387K Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18.lzo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 169K Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18.xz
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CGSpace went down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looks like DSpace exhausted its PostgreSQL connection pool&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week I had increased the limit from 30 to 60, which seemed to help, but now there are many more idle connections:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ psql -c &#39;SELECT * from pg_stat_activity;&#39; | grep idle | grep -c cgspace
78
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
