Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down and up a few times last night, for a few minutes each time
I didn&rsquo;t get any load alerts from Linode and the REST and XMLUI logs don&rsquo;t show anything out of the ordinary
The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until 02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 &#43;0000 when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500
In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like &ldquo;Client closed the connection before file download was complete&rdquo;
And just before that I see this:
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].
Ah hah! So the pool was actually empty!
I need to increase that, let&rsquo;s try to bump it up from 50 to 75
After that one client got an HTTP 499 but then the rest were HTTP 200, so I don&rsquo;t know what the hell Uptime Robot saw
I notice this error quite a few times in dspace.log:

And there are many of these errors every day for the past month:

nginx: [emerg] could not build map_hash, you should increase map_hash_bucket_size: 64

<li>According to nginx docs the <a href="https://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html">bucket size should be a multiple of the CPU&rsquo;s cache alignment</a>, which is 64 for us:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code># cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cache_alignment | head -n1
cache_alignment : 64

<ul>
<li>On our servers that is 64, so I increased this parameter to 128 and deployed the changes to nginx</li>
<li>Almost immediately the PostgreSQL connections dropped back down to 40 or so, and UptimeRobot said the site was back up</li>
<li>So that&rsquo;s interesting that we&rsquo;re not out of PostgreSQL connections (current pool maxActive is 300!) but the system is &ldquo;down&rdquo; to UptimeRobot and very slow to use</li>

<li>Wow, I just figured out how to set the application name of each database pool in the JNDI config of Tomcat&rsquo;s <code>server.xml</code>:</li>
</ul>

<li>So theoretically I could name each connection &ldquo;xmlui&rdquo; or &ldquo;dspaceWeb&rdquo; or something meaningful and it would show up in PostgreSQL&rsquo;s <code>pg_stat_activity</code> table!</li>
<li>This would be super helpful for figuring out where load was coming from (now I wonder if I could figure out how to graph this)</li>
<li>Also, I realized that the <code>db.jndi</code> parameter in dspace.cfg needs to match the <code>name</code> value in your applicaiton&rsquo;s context—not the <code>global</code> one</li>
<li>Ah hah! Also, I can name the default DSpace connection pool in dspace.cfg as well, like:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspacetest?ApplicationName=dspaceDefault
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>With that it is super easy to see where PostgreSQL connections are coming from in <code>pg_stat_activity</code></li>

<li>I&rsquo;m looking at the <a href="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-ServletEngine(ApacheTomcat7orlater,Jetty,CauchoResinorequivalent)">DSpace 6.0 Install docs</a> and notice they tweak the number of threads in their Tomcat connector:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>&lt;!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --&gt;
&lt;Connector port=&quot;8080&quot;
maxThreads=&quot;150&quot;

<ul>
<li>In Tomcat 8.5 the <code>maxThreads</code> defaults to 200 which is probably fine, but tweaking <code>minSpareThreads</code> could be good</li>
<li>I don&rsquo;t see a setting for <code>maxSpareThreads</code> in the docs so that might be an error</li>
<li>Looks like in Tomcat 8.5 the default URIEncoding for Connectors is UTF-8, so we don&rsquo;t need to specify that manually anymore: <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html">https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/http.html</a></li>
<li>Ooh, I just saw the <code>acceptorThreadCount</code> setting (in Tomcat 7 and 8.5):</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>The number of threads to be used to accept connections. Increase this value on a multi CPU machine, although you would never really need more than 2. Also, with a lot of non keep alive connections, you might want to increase this value as well. Default value is 1.

<li>Interesting blog post benchmarking Tomcat JDBC vs Apache Commons DBCP2, with configuration snippets: <a href="http://www.tugay.biz/2016/07/tomcat-connection-pool-vs-apache.html">http://www.tugay.biz/2016/07/tomcat-connection-pool-vs-apache.html</a></li>
<li>The Tomcat vs Apache pool thing is confusing, but apparently we&rsquo;re using Apache Commons DBCP2 because we don&rsquo;t specify <code>factory=&quot;org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory&quot;</code> in our global resource</li>
<li>So at least I know that I&rsquo;m not looking for documentation or troubleshooting on the Tomcat JDBC pool!</li>
<li>I looked at <code>pg_stat_activity</code> during Tomcat&rsquo;s startup and I see that the pool created in server.xml is indeed connecting, just that nothing uses it</li>
<li>Also, the fallback connection parameters specified in local.cfg (not dspace.cfg) are used</li>

<li>The file encoding is Windows-1252</li>
<li>There were whitespace issues in the dc.identifier.citation field (spaces at the beginning and end, and multiple spaces in between some words)</li>
<li>Also, the authors listed in the citation need to be in normal format, separated by commas or colons (however you prefer), not with ||</li>
<li>There were spaces in the beginning and end of some cg.identifier.doi fields</li>
<li>Make sure that the cg.coverage.countries field is just countries: ie, no &ldquo;SOUTH ETHIOPIA&rdquo; or &ldquo;EAST AFRICA&rdquo; (the first should just be ETHIOPIA, the second should be in cg.coverage.region instead)</li>

<li>You have a syntax error in your cg.coverage.regions (extra ||)</li>

<li>Looking at the <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html">Tomcat connector docs</a> I think we really need to increase <code>maxThreads</code></li>
<li>The default is 200, which can easily be taken up by bots considering that Google and Bing each browse with fifty (50) connections each sometimes!</li>
<li>Before I increase this I want to see if I can measure and graph this, and then benchmark</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ll probably also increase <code>minSpareThreads</code> to 20 (its default is 10)</li>
<li>I still want to bump up <code>acceptorThreadCount</code> from 1 to 2 as well, as the documentation says this should be increased on multi-core systems</li>
<li>I spent quite a bit of time looking at <code>jvisualvm</code> and <code>jconsole</code> today</li>
<li>Run system updates on DSpace Test and reboot it</li>
<li>I see I can monitor the number of Tomcat threads and some detailed JVM memory stuff if I install <code>munin-plugins-java</code></li>
<li>I&rsquo;d still like to get arbitrary mbeans like activeSessions etc, though</li>
<li>I can&rsquo;t remember if I had to configure the jmx settings in <code>/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node</code> or not—I think all I did was re-run the <code>munin-node-configure</code> script and of course enable JMX in Tomcat&rsquo;s JVM options</li>

<li>Peter followed up about some of the points from the Skype meeting last week</li>
<li>Regarding the ORCID field issue, I see <a href="http://repo.mel.cgiar.org/handle/20.500.11766/7668?show=full">ICARDA&rsquo;s MELSpace is using <code>cg.creator.ID</code></a>: 0000-0001-9156-7691</li>
<li>I had floated the idea of using a controlled vocabulary with values formatted something like: Orth, Alan S. (0000-0002-1735-7458)</li>
<li>Update PostgreSQL JDBC driver version from 42.1.4 to 42.2.1 on DSpace Test, see: <a href="https://jdbc.postgresql.org/">https://jdbc.postgresql.org/</a></li>
<li>Reboot DSpace Test to get new Linode kernel (Linux 4.14.14-x86_64-linode94)</li>
<li>I am testing my old work on the <code>dc.rights</code> field, I had added a branch for it a few months ago</li>
<li>I added a list of Creative Commons and other licenses in <code>input-forms.xml</code></li>
<li>The problem is that Peter wanted to use two questions, one for CG centers and one for other, but using the same metadata value, which isn&rsquo;t possible (?)</li>
<li>So I used some creativity and made several fields display values, but not store any, ie:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>&lt;pair&gt;
&lt;displayed-value&gt;For products published by another party:&lt;/displayed-value&gt;
&lt;stored-value&gt;&lt;/stored-value&gt;
&lt;/pair&gt;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>I was worried that if a user selected this field for some reason that DSpace would store an empty value, but it simply doesn&rsquo;t register that as a valid option:</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="/cgspace-notes/2018/01/dc-rights-submission.png" alt="Rights" /></p>
<ul>
<li>I submitted a test item with ORCiDs and dc.rights from a controlled vocabulary on DSpace Test: <a href="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/97703">https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/97703</a></li>
<li>I will send it to Peter to check and give feedback (ie, about the ORCiD field name as well as allowing users to add ORCiDs manually or not)</li>

<li>Assist Udana from WLE again to proof his 25 records and upload them to DSpace Test</li>
<li>I am playing with the <code>startStopThreads=&quot;0&quot;</code> parameter in Tomcat <code>&lt;Engine&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;Host&gt;</code> configuration</li>
<li>It reduces the start up time of Catalina by using multiple threads to start web applications in parallel</li>

<li>So is this an error caused by this particular client (which happens to be <code>Yahoo! Slurp</code>)?</li>
<li>I see a few dozen HTTP 499 errors in the nginx access log for a few minutes before this happened, but HTTP 499 is just when nginx says that the client closed the request early</li>
<li>Perhaps this from the nginx error log is relevant?</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>2018/01/29 05:26:34 [warn] 26895#26895: *944759 an upstream response is buffered to a temporary file /var/cache/nginx/proxy_temp/6/16/0000026166 while reading upstream, client: 180.76.15.34, server: cgspace.cgiar.org, request: &quot;GET /bitstream/handle/10947/4658/FISH%20Leaflet.pdf?sequence=12 HTTP/1.1&quot;, upstream: &quot;http://127.0.0.1:8443/bitstream/handle/10947/4658/FISH%20Leaflet.pdf?sequence=12&quot;, host: &quot;cgspace.cgiar.org&quot;

<ul>
<li>I think that must be unrelated, probably the client closed the request to nginx because DSpace (Tomcat) was taking too long</li>
<li>An interesting <a href="https://gist.github.com/magnetikonline/11312172">snippet to get the maximum and average nginx responses</a>:</li>

<ul>
<li>I guess responses that don&rsquo;t fit in RAM get saved to disk (a default of 1024M), so this is definitely not the issue here, and that warning is totally unrelated</li>
<li>My best guess is that the Solr search error is related somehow but I can&rsquo;t figure it out</li>
<li>We definitely have enough database connections, as I haven&rsquo;t seen a pool error in weeks:</li>

<li>Adam Hunt from WLE complained that pages take &ldquo;1-2 minutes&rdquo; to load each, from France and Sri Lanka</li>
<li>I asked him which particular pages, as right now pages load in 2 or 3 seconds for me</li>
<li>UptimeRobot said CGSpace went down again, and I looked at PostgreSQL and saw 211 active database connections</li>
<li>If it&rsquo;s not memory and it&rsquo;s not database, it&rsquo;s gotta be Tomcat threads, seeing as the default <code>maxThreads</code> is 200 anyways, it actually makes sense</li>
<li>I decided to change the Tomcat thread settings on CGSpace:
<ul>
<li><code>maxThreads</code> from 200 (default) to 400</li>
<li><code>processorCache</code> from 200 (default) to 400, <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html">recommended to be the same as <code>maxThreads</code></a></li>
<li><code>minSpareThreads</code> from 10 (default) to 20</li>
<li><code>acceptorThreadCount</code> from 1 (default) to 2, <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html">recommended to be 2 on multi-CPU systems</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li>Looks like I only enabled the new thread stuff on the connector used internally by Solr, so I probably need to match that by increasing them on the other connector that nginx proxies to</li>
<li>Jesus Christ I need to fucking fix the Munin monitoring so that I can tell how many fucking threads I have running</li>
<li>Wow, so apparently you need to specify which connector to check if you want any of the Munin Tomcat plugins besides &ldquo;tomcat_jvm&rdquo; to work (the connector name can be seen in the Catalina logs)</li>
<li>I modified <em>/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/tomcat</em> to add the connector (with surrounding quotes!) and now the other plugins work (obviously the credentials are incorrect):</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>[tomcat_*]
env.host 127.0.0.1
env.port 8081
env.connector &quot;http-bio-127.0.0.1-8443&quot;
env.user munin
env.password munin
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>For example, I can see the threads:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code># munin-run tomcat_threads
busy.value 0
idle.value 20
max.value 400
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Apparently you can&rsquo;t monitor more than one connector, so I guess the most important to monitor would be the one that nginx is sending stuff to</li>
<li>So for now I think I&rsquo;ll just monitor these and skip trying to configure the jmx plugins</li>
<li>Although following the logic of _/usr/share/munin/plugins/jmx_tomcat<em>dbpools</em> could be useful for getting the active Tomcat sessions</li>
<li>From debugging the <code>jmx_tomcat_db_pools</code> script from the <code>munin-plugins-java</code> package, I see that this is how you call arbitrary mbeans:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code># port=5400 ip=&quot;127.0.0.1&quot; /usr/bin/java -cp /usr/share/munin/munin-jmx-plugins.jar org.munin.plugin.jmx.Beans Catalina:type=DataSource,class=javax.sql.DataSource,name=* maxActive

<pre><code># port=5400 ip=&quot;127.0.0.1&quot; /usr/bin/java -cp /usr/share/munin/munin-jmx-plugins.jar org.munin.plugin.jmx.Beans Catalina:type=Manager,context=/,host=localhost activeSessions
Catalina:type=Manager,context=/,host=localhost activeSessions 8
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>If you connect to Tomcat in <code>jvisualvm</code> it&rsquo;s pretty obvious when you hover over the elements</li>
</ul>
