<li>I cleared the Solr statistics core on DSpace Test by issuing two commands directly to the Solr admin interface:
<ul>
<li>http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E</li>
<li>http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/update?stream.body=%3Ccommit/%3E</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Then I reduced the JVM heap size from 6144 back to 5120m</li>
<li>Also, I switched it to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java, as well as re-worked the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure scripts</a> to support hosts choosing which distribution they want to use</li>

<li>Uptime Robot noticed that CGSpace went down and up a few times last night, for a few minutes each time</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until <code>02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 +0000</code> when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500</li>
<li>In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like &ldquo;Client closed the connection before file download was complete&rdquo;</li>
