## 2018-10-01

- Phil Thornton got an ORCID identifier so we need to add it to the list on CGSpace and tag his existing items
- I created a GitHub issue to track this [#389](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/389), because I'm super busy in Nairobi right now

## 2018-10-03

- I see Moayad was busy collecting item views and downloads from CGSpace yesterday:

```
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Oct/2018" | awk '{print $1}
' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
    933 40.77.167.90
    971 95.108.181.88
   1043 41.204.190.40
   1454 157.55.39.54
   1538 207.46.13.69
   1719 66.249.64.61
   2048 50.116.102.77
   4639 66.249.64.59
   4736 35.237.175.180
 150362 34.218.226.147
```

- Of those, about 20% were HTTP 500 responses (!):

```
$ zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Oct/2018" | grep 34.218.226.147 | awk '{print $9}' | sort -n | uniq -c
 118927 200
  31435 500
```

- I added Phil Thornton and Sonal Henson's ORCID identifiers to the controlled vocabulary for `cg.creator.orcid` and then re-generated the names using my [resolve-orcids.py](https://gist.github.com/alanorth/57a88379126d844563c1410bd7b8d12b) script:

```
$ grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' ~/src/git/DSpace/dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml | sort | uniq > 2018-10-03-orcids.txt
$ ./resolve-orcids.py -i 2018-10-03-orcids.txt -o 2018-10-03-names.txt -d
```

- I found a new corner case error that I need to check, given *and* family names deactivated:

```
Looking up the names associated with ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7930-5752
Given Names Deactivated Family Name Deactivated: 0000-0001-7930-5752
```

- It appears to be Jim Lorenzen... I need to check that later!
- I merged the changes to the `5_x-prod` branch ([#390](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/390))
- Linode sent another alert about CPU usage on CGSpace (linode18) this evening
- It seems that Moayad is making quite a lot of requests today:

```
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "03/Oct/2018" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
   1594 157.55.39.160
   1627 157.55.39.173
   1774 136.243.6.84
   4228 35.237.175.180
   4497 70.32.83.92
   4856 66.249.64.59
   7120 50.116.102.77
  12518 138.201.49.199
  87646 34.218.226.147
 111729 213.139.53.62
```

- But in super positive news, he says they are using my new [dspace-statistics-api](https://github.com/alanorth/dspace-statistics-api) and it's MUCH faster than using Atmire CUA's internal "restlet" API
- I don't recognize the `138.201.49.199` IP, but it is in Germany (Hetzner) and appears to be paginating over some browse pages and downloading bitstreams:

```
# grep 138.201.49.199 /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -o -E 'GET /[a-z]+' | sort | uniq -c
   8324 GET /bitstream
   4193 GET /handle
```

- Suspiciously, it's only grabbing the CGIAR System Office community (handle prefix 10947):

```
# grep 138.201.49.199 /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -o -E 'GET /handle/[0-9]{5}' | sort | uniq -c
      7 GET /handle/10568
   4186 GET /handle/10947
```

- The user agent is suspicious too:

```
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2227.0 Safari/537.36
```

- It's clearly a bot and it's not re-using its Tomcat session, so I will add its IP to the nginx bad bot list
- I looked in Solr's statistics core and these hits were actually all counted as `isBot:false` (of course)... hmmm
- I tagged all of Sonal and Phil's items with their ORCID identifiers on CGSpace using my [add-orcid-identifiers.py](https://gist.github.com/alanorth/a49d85cd9c5dea89cddbe809813a7050) script:

```
$ ./add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py -i 2018-10-03-add-orcids.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu'
```

- Where `2018-10-03-add-orcids.csv` contained:

```
dc.contributor.author,cg.creator.id
"Henson, Sonal P.",Sonal Henson: 0000-0002-2002-5462

## 2018-10-04

- Salem raised an issue that the dspace-statistics-api reports downloads for some items that have no bitstreams (like many limited access items)
- Every item has at least a `LICENSE` bundle, and some have a `THUMBNAIL` bundle, but the indexing code is specifically checking for downloads from the `ORIGINAL` bundle
  - [10568/97460](https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/97460) (100550): has a thumbnail bitstream
  - [10568/96112](https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/96112) (96736): has only a LICENSE bitstream
- I see there are other bundles we might need to pay attention to: `TEXT`, `@_LOGO-COLLECTION_@`, `@_LOGO-COMMUNITY_@`, etc...
- On a hunch I dropped the statistics table and re-indexed and now those two items above have no downloads
- So it's fixed, but I'm not sure why!
- Peter wants to know the number of API requests per month, which was about 250,000 in September (exluding statlet requests):

```
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/{oai,rest}.log* | grep -E 'Sep/2018' | grep -c -v 'statlets'
251226
```

- I found a logic error in the dspace-statistics-api `indexer.py` script that was causing item views to be inserted into downloads
- I tagged version 0.4.2 of the tool and redeployed it on CGSpace

## 2018-10-05

- Meet with Peter, Abenet, and Sisay to discuss CGSpace meeting in Nairobi and Sisay's work plan
- We agreed that he would do monthly updates of the controlled vocabularies and generate a new one for the top 1,000 AGROVOC terms
- Add a link to [AReS explorer](https://cgspace.cgiar.org/explorer/) to the CGSpace homepage introduction text

## 2018-10-06

- Follow up with AgriKnowledge about including Handle links (`dc.identifier.uri`) on their item pages
- In July, 2018 they had said their programmers would include the field in the next update of their website software
- [CIMMYT's DSpace repository](https://repository.cimmyt.org/) is now running DSpace 5.x!
- It's running OAI, but not REST, so I need to talk to Richard about that!

## 2018-10-08

- AgriKnowledge says they're going to add the `dc.identifier.uri` to their item view in November when they update their website software

## 2018-10-10

- Peter noticed that some recently added PDFs don't have thumbnails
- When I tried to force them to be generated I got an error that I've never seen before:

```
$ dspace filter-media -v -f -i 10568/97613
org.im4java.core.InfoException: org.im4java.core.CommandException: org.im4java.core.CommandException: identify: not authorized `/tmp/impdfthumb5039464037201498062.pdf' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/412.
```

- I see there was an update to Ubuntu's ImageMagick on 2018-10-05, so maybe something changed or broke?
- I get the same error when forcing `filter-media` to run on DSpace Test too, so it's gotta be an ImageMagic bug
- The ImageMagick version is currently 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.13, and there is an [Ubuntu Security Notice from 2018-10-04](https://usn.ubuntu.com/3785-1/)
- Wow, someone on [Twitter posted about this breaking his web application](https://twitter.com/rosscampbell/status/1048268966819319808) (and it was retweeted by the ImageMagick acount!)
- I commented out the line that disables PDF thumbnails in `/etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml`:


```
  <!--<policy domain="coder" rights="none" pattern="PDF" />-->
```

- This works, but I'm not sure what ImageMagick's long-term plan is if they are going to disable ALL image formats...
- I suppose I need to enable a workaround for this in Ansible?
- Also I note that for a few days the item views on DSpace Test are broken... I think Sisay must have been doing something

## 2018-10-11

- I emailed DuraSpace to update [our entry in their DSpace registry](https://duraspace.org/registry/entry/4188/?gvid=178) (the data was still on DSpace 3, JSPUI, etc)
- Generate a list of the top 1500 values for `dc.subject` so Sisay can start making a controlled vocabulary for it:

```
dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value, count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_field_id = 57 AND resource_type_id = 2 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 1500) to /tmp/2018-10-11-top-1500-subject.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
COPY 1500
```
