Peter said that CTA is having problems submitting an item to CGSpace
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 ‘idle in transaction’ and ‘waiting for lock’ state are increasing again
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)

<li>This is only about 2,500 hits total from the last ten years, and half of these bots no longer seem to exist, so I won’t bother submitting them to the COUNTER-Robots project</li>
<li>I noticed that our custom themes were incorrectly linking to the OpenSearch XML file
<ul>
<li>The bug <ahref="https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-2592">was fixed</a> for Mirage2 in 2015</li>
<li>Note that this did not prevent OpenSearch itself from working</li>
<li>I will patch this on our DSpace 5.x and 6.x branches</li>
<li>Atmire responded asking for more information about the Solr statistics processing bug in CUA so I sent them some full logs
<ul>
<li>Also I asked again about the Maven variable interpolation issue for <code>cua.version.number</code>, and if they would be willing to upgrade CUA to use Font Awesome 5 instead of 4.</li>
<li>The two main IPs making requests around then are 188.134.31.88 and 212.34.8.188
<ul>
<li>The first is in Russia and it is hitting mostly XMLUI Discover links using <em>dozens</em> of different user agents, a total of 20,000 requests this week</li>
<li>The second IP is CodeObia testing AReS, a total of 171,000 hits this month</li>
<li>I will purge both of those IPs from the Solr stats using my <code>check-spider-ip-hits.sh</code> script:</li>
<li>Bizu said she was having issues submitting to CGSpace last week
<ul>
<li>The issue sounds like the one Tezira and CTA were having in the last few weeks</li>
<li>I looked at the PostgreSQL graphs and see there are a lot of connections in “idle in transaction” and “waiting for lock” state:</li>
<li>I think I’ll downgrade the PostgreSQL JDBC driver from 42.2.12 to 42.2.10, which was the version we were using before these issues started happening</li>
<li>Atmire sent some feedback about my ongoing issues with their CUA module, but none of it was conclusive yet
<ul>
<li>Regarding Font Awesome 5 they will check how much work it will take and give me a quote</li>
</ul>

<li>Abenet said some users are questioning why the statistics dropped so much lately, so I made a <ahref="https://www.yammer.com/dspacedevelopers/#/Threads/show?threadId=674923030216704">post to Yammer</a> to explain about the robots</li>
<li>Last week Peter had asked me to add a new ILRI author’s ORCID iD
<ul>
<li>I added it to the controlled vocabulary and tagged the user’s existing ~11 items in CGSpace using this CSV file with my <code>add-orcid-identifiers-csv.py</code> script:</li>
