&lt;li&gt;Peter said that CTA is having problems submitting an item to CGSpace
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looking at the PostgreSQL stats it seems to be the same issue that Tezira was having last week, as I see the number of connections in &amp;lsquo;idle in transaction&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;waiting for lock&amp;rsquo; state are increasing again&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I see that CGSpace (linode18) is still using PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.11, and there were some bugs related to transactions fixed in 42.2.12 (which I had updated in the Ansible playbooks, but not deployed yet)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maria asked me to update Charles Staver&amp;rsquo;s ORCID iD in the submission template and on CGSpace, as his name was lower case before, and now he has corrected it
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I updated the fifty-eight existing items on CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looking into the items Udana had asked about last week that were missing Altmetric donuts:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103225&#34;&gt;The first&lt;/a&gt; is still missing its DOI, so I added it and &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1245632619661766657&#34;&gt;tweeted its handle&lt;/a&gt; (after a few hours there was a donut with score 222)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106899&#34;&gt;The second item&lt;/a&gt; now has a donut with score 2 since I &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158045540134913&#34;&gt;tweeted its handle&lt;/a&gt; last week&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107258&#34;&gt;The third item&lt;/a&gt; now has a donut with score 1 since I &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158786392625153&#34;&gt;tweeted it&lt;/a&gt; last week&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the same note, the &lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106573&#34;&gt;one item&lt;/a&gt; Abenet pointed out last week now has a donut with score of 104 after I &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243163710241345536&#34;&gt;tweeted it&lt;/a&gt; last week&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2020-03-02&#34;&gt;2020-03-02&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Update &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api&#34;&gt;dspace-statistics-api&lt;/a&gt; for DSpace 6+ UUIDs
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tag version 1.2.0 on GitHub&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test migrating legacy Solr statistics to UUIDs with the as-of-yet unreleased &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/184f2b2153479045fba6239342c63e7f8564b8b6#diff-0350ce2e13b28d5d61252b7a8f50a059&#34;&gt;SolrUpgradePre6xStatistics.java&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You need to download this into the DSpace 6.x source and compile it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Continue working on porting CGSpace&amp;rsquo;s DSpace 5 code to DSpace 6.3 that I started yesterday
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sign up for an account with MaxMind so I can get the GeoLite2-City.mmdb database&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I still need to wire up the API credentials and cron job into the Ansible infrastructure playbooks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fix some minor issues in the config and XMLUI themes, like removing Atmire stuff&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The code finally builds and runs with a fresh install&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2020-01-06&#34;&gt;2020-01-06&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;a href=&#34;https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=706&#34;&gt;a ticket&lt;/a&gt; with Atmire to request a quote for the upgrade to DSpace 6&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Last week Altmetric responded about the &lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97087&#34;&gt;item&lt;/a&gt; that had a lower score than than its DOI
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The score is now linked to the DOI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Another &lt;a href=&#34;https://handle.hdl.net/10568/91278&#34;&gt;item&lt;/a&gt; that had the same problem in 2019 has now also linked to the score for its DOI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Another &lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81236&#34;&gt;item&lt;/a&gt; that had the same problem in 2019 has also been fixed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;2020-01-07&#34;&gt;2020-01-07&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Peter Ballantyne highlighted one more WLE &lt;a href=&#34;https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101286&#34;&gt;item&lt;/a&gt; that is missing the Altmetric score that its DOI has
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The DOI has a score of 259, but the Handle has no score at all&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1214471427157626881&#34;&gt;tweeted&lt;/a&gt; the CGSpace repository link&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Upgrade CGSpace (linode18) to Ubuntu 18.04:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check any packages that have residual configs and purge them:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;!-- raw HTML omitted --&gt;# dpkg -l | grep -E &amp;lsquo;^rc&amp;rsquo; | awk &amp;lsquo;{print $2}&amp;rsquo; | xargs dpkg -P&lt;!-- raw HTML omitted --&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure all packages are up to date and the package manager is up to date, then reboot:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# apt update &amp;amp;&amp;amp; apt full-upgrade
# apt-get autoremove &amp;amp;&amp;amp; apt-get autoclean
# dpkg -C
# reboot
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;2019-11-04&#34;&gt;2019-11-04&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Peter noticed that there were 5.2 million hits on CGSpace in 2019-10 according to the Atmire usage statistics
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I looked in the nginx logs and see 4.6 million in the access logs, and 1.2 million in the API logs:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*access.log.*.gz | grep -cE &amp;quot;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&amp;quot;
4671942
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/{rest,oai,statistics}.log.*.gz | grep -cE &amp;quot;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&amp;quot;
1277694
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So 4.6 million from XMLUI and another 1.2 million from API requests&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s see how many of the REST API requests were for bitstreams (because they are counted in Solr stats):&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -c -E &amp;quot;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&amp;quot;
1183456 
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -E &amp;quot;[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019&amp;quot; | grep -c -E &amp;quot;/rest/bitstreams&amp;quot;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Possible changes to CGSpace metadata fields to align more with DC, QDC, and DCTERMS as well as CG Core v2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With reference to &lt;a href=&#34;https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html&#34;&gt;CG Core v2 draft standard&lt;/a&gt; by Marie-Angélique as well as &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/&#34;&gt;DCMI DCTERMS&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>2019-10-01  Udana from IWMI asked me for a CSV export of their community on CGSpace  I exported it, but a quick run through the csv-metadata-quality tool shows that there are some low-hanging fruits we can fix before I send him the data I will limit the scope to the titles, regions, subregions, and river basins for now to manually fix some non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) there that would otherwise be removed by the csv-metadata-quality script&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;unneccesary Unicode&amp;rdquo; fix:    $ csvcut -c &#39;id,dc.</description>

&lt;li&gt;Look at Bioversity&amp;rsquo;s latest migration CSV and now I see that Francesco has cleaned up the extra columns and the newline at the end of the file, but many of the column headers have an extra space in the name&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;2019-08-04&#34;&gt;2019-08-04&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deploy ORCID identifier updates requested by Bioversity to CGSpace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Before updating it I checked Solr and verified that all statistics cores were loaded properly&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After rebooting, all statistics cores were loaded&amp;hellip; wow, that&amp;rsquo;s lucky.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run system updates on DSpace Test (linode19) and reboot it&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create an &amp;ldquo;AfricaRice books and book chapters&amp;rdquo; collection on CGSpace for AfricaRice&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Last month Sisay asked why the following &amp;ldquo;most popular&amp;rdquo; statistics link for a range of months in 2018 works for the CIAT community on DSpace Test, but not on CGSpace:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/35697/most-popular/item#simplefilter=custom&amp;amp;time_filter_end_date=01%2F12%2F2018&#34;&gt;DSpace Test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/35697/most-popular/item#simplefilter=custom&amp;amp;time_filter_end_date=01%2F12%2F2018&#34;&gt;CGSpace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Abenet had another similar issue a few days ago when trying to find the stats for 2018 in the RTB community&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&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;The item seems to be in a pre-submitted state, so I tried to delete it from there:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dspace=# DELETE FROM workspaceitem WHERE item_id=74648;
DELETE 1
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&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;/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;There have been 4,400 more downloads of the CTA Spore publication from those strange Amazon IP addresses today
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I suspected that some might not be successful, because the stats show less, but today they were all HTTP 200!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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 $9}&#39; | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 5
   4432 200
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the last two weeks there have been 47,000 downloads of this &lt;em&gt;same exact PDF&lt;/em&gt; by these three IP addresses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply country and region corrections and deletions on DSpace Test and CGSpace:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ ./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

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

&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There were just over 3 million accesses in the nginx logs last month:&lt;/li&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;I don&amp;rsquo;t see anything interesting in the web server logs around that time though:&lt;/li&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;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;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;DSpace Test had crashed at some point yesterday morning and I see the following in &lt;code&gt;dmesg&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Judging from the time of the crash it was probably related to the Discovery indexing that starts at midnight&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&amp;rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&amp;hellip;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I ran all system updates on DSpace Test and rebooted it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I want to upgrade DSpace Test to DSpace 5.8 so I took a backup of its current database just in case:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Test the &lt;a href=&#34;https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=560&#34;&gt;DSpace 5.8 module upgrades from Atmire&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/378&#34;&gt;#378&lt;/a&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;I proofed and tested the ILRI author corrections that Peter sent back to me this week:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:&lt;/li&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;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Ccommit/%3E&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;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;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;And just before that I see this:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ah hah! So the pool was actually empty!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I need to increase that, let&amp;rsquo;s try to bump it up from 50 to 75&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I notice this error quite a few times in dspace.log:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;li&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;/li&gt;

      <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>2017-05-01  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;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;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;10568/51999&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;An item was mapped twice erroneously again, so I had to remove one of the mappings manually:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Looks like we&amp;rsquo;ll be using &lt;code&gt;cg.identifier.ccafsprojectpii&lt;/code&gt; as the field name&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;li&gt;CGSpace was down for five hours in the morning while I was sleeping&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;While looking in the logs for errors, I see tons of warnings about Atmire MQM:&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&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;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve raised a ticket with Atmire to ask&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Another worrying error from dspace.log is:&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;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;/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;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;Start working on DSpace 5.1 → 5.5 port:&lt;/li&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;I think this query should find and replace all authors that have &amp;ldquo;,&amp;rdquo; at the end of their names:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In this case the select query was showing 95 results before the update&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&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;After reading the &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html&#34;&gt;OAI documentation&lt;/a&gt; and testing with an &lt;a href=&#34;http://validator.oaipmh.com/&#34;&gt;OAI validator&lt;/a&gt; I found out how to get their publications&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;li&gt;I have blocked access to the API now&lt;/li&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;
&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;</description>

&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;

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