 - Re-deploy CGSpace from latest `5_x-prod` (adds ISI Journal to search filters and adds Discovery index for CGIAR Library `systemsubject`)
 - Deploy nginx redirect fixes to catch CGIAR Library browse links (redirect to their community and translate subject→systemsubject)
 - Run migration of CGSpace server (linode18) for Linode security alert, which took 42 minutes of downtime

+## 2017-10-26

+- In the last 24 hours we've gotten a few alerts from Linode that there was high CPU and outgoing traffic on CGSpace
+- Uptime Robot even noticed CGSpace go "down" for a few minutes
+- In other news, I was trying to look at a question about stats raised by Magdalena and then CGSpace went down due to SQL connection pool
+- Looking at the PostgreSQL activity I see there are 93 connections, but after a minute or two they went down and CGSpace came back up
+- Annnd I reloaded the Atmire Usage Stats module and the connections shot back up and CGSpace went down again
+- Still not sure where the load is coming from right now, but it's clear why there were so many alerts yesterday on the 25th!

+- I finally investigated Magdalena's issue with the item download stats and now I can't reproduce it: I get the same number of downloads reported in the stats widget on the item page, the "Most Popular Items" page, and in Usage Stats
+- I think it might have been an issue with the statistics not being fresh
