Peter noticed that there were 5.2 million hits on CGSpace in 2019-10 according to the Atmire usage statistics
I looked in the nginx logs and see 4.6 million in the access logs, and 1.2 million in the API logs:
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*access.log.*.gz | grep -cE &#34;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&#34;
4671942
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/{rest,oai,statistics}.log.*.gz | grep -cE &#34;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&#34;
1277694
So 4.6 million from XMLUI and another 1.2 million from API requests
Let&rsquo;s see how many of the REST API requests were for bitstreams (because they are counted in Solr stats):
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -c -E &#34;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&#34;
1183456
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -E &#34;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&#34; | grep -c -E &#34;/rest/bitstreams&#34;

<li>Still, those requests are CPU intensive so I will add their user agent to the &ldquo;badbots&rdquo; rate limiting in nginx to reduce the impact on server load</li>

<li>On the topic of spiders, I have been wanting to update DSpace&rsquo;s default list of spiders in <code>config/spiders/agents</code>, perhaps by dropping a new list in from <a href="https://github.com/atmire/COUNTER-Robots">Atmire&rsquo;s COUNTER-Robots</a> project
<ul>
<li>First I checked for a user agent that is in COUNTER-Robots, but NOT in the current <code>dspace/config/spiders/example</code> list</li>
<li>Then I made some item and bitstream requests on DSpace Test using that user agent:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print Hh &#39;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/105487&#39; User-Agent:&#34;iskanie&#34;

</code></pre><ul>
<li>A bit later I checked Solr and found three requests from my IP with that user agent this month:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print b &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?q=ip:73.178.9.24+AND+userAgent:iskanie&amp;fq=dateYearMonth%3A2019-11&amp;rows=0&#39;

&lt;/response&gt;

<li>Now I want to make similar requests with a user agent that is included in DSpace&rsquo;s current user agent list:</li>

</code></pre><ul>
<li>After twenty minutes I didn&rsquo;t see any requests in Solr, so I assume they did not get logged because they matched a bot list&hellip;
<ul>
<li>What&rsquo;s strange is that the Solr spider agent configuration in <code>dspace/config/modules/solr-statistics.cfg</code> points to a file that doesn&rsquo;t exist&hellip;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>spider.agentregex.regexfile = ${dspace.dir}/config/spiders/Bots-2013-03.txt
</code></pre><ul>
<li>Apparently that is part of Atmire&rsquo;s CUA, despite being in a standard DSpace configuration file&hellip;</li>
<li>I tried with some other garbage user agents like &ldquo;fuuuualan&rdquo; and they were visible in Solr
<ul>
<li>Now I want to try adding &ldquo;iskanie&rdquo; and &ldquo;fuuuualan&rdquo; to the list of spider regexes in <code>dspace/config/spiders/example</code> and then try to use DSpace&rsquo;s &ldquo;mark spiders&rdquo; feature to change them to &ldquo;isBot:true&rdquo; in Solr</li>
<li>I restarted Tomcat and ran <code>dspace stats-util -m</code> and it did some stuff for awhile, but I still don&rsquo;t see any items in Solr with <code>isBot:true</code></li>
<li>According to <code>dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/statistics/util/SpiderDetector.java</code> the patterns for user agents are loaded from any file in the <code>config/spiders/agents</code> directory</li>
<li>I downloaded the COUNTER-Robots list to DSpace Test and overwrote the example file, then ran <code>dspace stats-util -m</code> and still there were no new items marked as being bots in Solr, so I think there is still something wrong</li>
<li>Jesus, the code in <code>./dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/statistics/util/StatisticsClient.java</code> says that <code>stats-util -m</code> marks spider requests by their IPs, not by their user agents&hellip; WTF:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>else if (line.hasOption(&#39;m&#39;))
{
SolrLogger.markRobotsByIP();
}
</code></pre><ul>
<li>WTF again, there is actually a function called <code>markRobotByUserAgent()</code> that is never called anywhere!
<ul>
<li>It appears to be unimplemented&hellip;</li>
<li>I sent a message to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask if I should file an issue</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="2019-11-05">2019-11-05</h2>
<ul>
<li>I added &ldquo;alanfuu2&rdquo; to the example spiders file, restarted Tomcat, then made two requests to DSpace Test:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print Hh &#39;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/105487&#39; User-Agent:&#34;alanfuuu1&#34;
$ http --print Hh &#39;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/105487&#39; User-Agent:&#34;alanfuuu2&#34;
</code></pre><ul>
<li>After committing the changes in Solr I saw one request for &ldquo;alanfuu1&rdquo; and no requests for &ldquo;alanfuu2&rdquo;:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print b &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/update?commit=true&#39;
$ http --print b &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?q=userAgent:alanfuuu1&amp;fq=dateYearMonth%3A2019-11&#39; | xmllint --format - | grep numFound

&lt;result name=&#34;response&#34; numFound=&#34;0&#34; start=&#34;0&#34;/&gt;
</code></pre><ul>
<li>So basically it seems like a win to update the example file with the latest one from Atmire&rsquo;s COUNTER-Robots list
<ul>
<li>Even though the &ldquo;mark by user agent&rdquo; function is not working (see email to dspace-tech mailing list) DSpace will still not log Solr events from these user agents</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m curious how the special character matching is in Solr, so I will test two requests: one with &ldquo;<a href="https://www.gnip.com">www.gnip.com</a>&rdquo; which is in the spider list, and one with &ldquo;<a href="https://www.gnyp.com">www.gnyp.com</a>&rdquo; which isn&rsquo;t:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print Hh &#39;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/105487&#39; User-Agent:&#34;www.gnip.com&#34;
$ http --print Hh &#39;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/105487&#39; User-Agent:&#34;www.gnyp.com&#34;
</code></pre><ul>
<li>Then commit changes to Solr so we don&rsquo;t have to wait:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ http --print b &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/update?commit=true&#39;
$ http --print b &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?q=userAgent:www.gnip.com&amp;fq=dateYearMonth%3A2019-11&#39; | xmllint --format - | grep numFound

&lt;result name=&#34;response&#34; numFound=&#34;1&#34; start=&#34;0&#34;&gt;
</code></pre><ul>
<li>So the blocking seems to be working because &ldquo;www.gnip.com&rdquo; is one of the new patterns added to the spiders file&hellip;</li>

<li>CCAFS finally confirmed that they do indeed need the confusing new project tag that looks like a duplicate
<ul>
<li>They had proposed a batch of new tags in 2019-09 and we never merged them due to this uncertainty</li>
<li>I have now merged the changes in to the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/432">#432</a>)</li>

<li>I am reconsidering the move of <code>cg.identifier.dataurl</code> to <code>cg.hasMetadata</code> in CG Core v2

<li>The values of this field are mostly links to data sets on Dataverse and partner sites</li>

<li>I emailed Altmetric support to ask for help</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Also, while analysing this, I looked through some of the other top WLE items and fixed some metadata issues (adding <code>dc.rights</code>, fixing DOIs, adding ISSNs, etc) and noticed one issue with <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97087">an item</a> that has an Altmetric score for its Handle (lower) despite it having a correct DOI (with a higher score)

<li>Nice, so searching with regex in Solr with <code>//</code> syntax works for those digits!</li>
<li>I realized that it&rsquo;s easier to search Solr from curl via POST using this syntax:</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ curl -s &#34;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select&#34; -d &#34;q=userAgent:*Scrapoo*&amp;rows=0&#34;)
</code></pre><ul>
<li>If the parameters include something like &ldquo;[0-9]&rdquo; then curl interprets it as a range and will make ten requests
<ul>
<li>You can disable this using the <code>-g</code> option, but there are other benefits to searching with POST, for example it seems that I have less issues with escaping special parameters when using Solr&rsquo;s regex search:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>$ curl -s &#39;http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select&#39; -d &#39;q=userAgent:/Postgenomic(\s|\+)v2/&amp;rows=2&#39;
</code></pre><ul>
<li>I updated the <code>check-spider-hits.sh</code> script to use the POST syntax, and I&rsquo;m evaluating the feasability of including the regex search patterns from the spider agent file, as I had been filtering them out due to differences in PCRE and Solr regex syntax and issues with shell handling</li>

<li>I created a <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/437">pull request</a> and merged them into the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch

<li>I will deploy them to CGSpace in the next few days</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Greatly improve my <code>check-spider-hits.sh</code> script to handle regular expressions in the spider agents patterns file
<ul>
<li>This allows me to detect and purge many more hits from the Solr statistics core</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ve tested it quite a bit on DSpace Test, but I need to do a little more before I feel comfortable running the new code on CGSpace&rsquo;s Solr cores</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="2019-11-15">2019-11-15</h2>
<ul>
<li>Run the new version of <code>check-spider-hits.sh</code> on CGSpace&rsquo;s Solr statistics cores one by one, starting from the oldest just in case something goes wrong</li>
<li>But then I noticed that some (all?) of the hits weren&rsquo;t actually getting purged, all of which were using regular expressions like:
<ul>
<li><code>MetaURI[\+\s]API\/[0-9]\.[0-9]</code></li>
<li><code>FDM(\s|\+)[0-9]</code></li>
<li><code>Goldfire(\s|\+)Server</code></li>
<li><code>^Mozilla\/4\.0\+\(compatible;\)$</code></li>
<li><code>^Mozilla\/4\.0\+\(compatible;\+ICS\)$</code></li>
<li><code>^Mozilla\/4\.5\+\[en]\+\(Win98;\+I\)$</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Upon closer inspection, the plus signs seem to be getting misinterpreted somehow in the delete, but not in the select!</li>
<li>Plus signs are special in regular expressions, URLs, and Solr&rsquo;s Lucene query parser, so I&rsquo;m actually not sure where the issue is
<ul>
<li>I tried to do URL encoding of the +, double escaping, etc&hellip; but nothing worked</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m going to ignore regular expressions that have pluses for now</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I think I might also have to ignore patterns that have percent signs, like <code>^\%?default\%?$</code></li>
<li>After I added the ignores and did some more testing I finally ran the <code>check-spider-hits.sh</code> on all CGSpace Solr statistics cores and these are the number of hits purged from each core:
<ul>
<li>statistics-2010: 113</li>
<li>statistics-2011: 7235</li>
<li>statistics-2012: 0</li>
<li>statistics-2013: 0</li>
<li>statistics-2014: 316</li>
<li>statistics-2015: 16809</li>
<li>statistics-2016: 41732</li>
<li>statistics-2017: 39207</li>
<li>statistics-2018: 295546</li>
<li>statistics: 1043373</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>That&rsquo;s 1.4 million hits in addition to the 2 million I purged earlier this week&hellip;</li>
<li>For posterity, the major contributors to the hits on the statistics core were:
<ul>
<li>Purging 812429 hits from curl/ in statistics</li>
<li>Purging 48206 hits from facebookexternalhit/ in statistics</li>
<li>Purging 72004 hits from PHP/ in statistics</li>
<li>Purging 76072 hits from Yeti/[0-9] in statistics</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Most of the curl hits were from CIAT in mid-2019, where they were using <a href="https://guzzle3.readthedocs.io/http-client/client.html">GuzzleHttp</a> from PHP, which uses something like this for its user agent:</li>
