CGSpace Notes

Documenting day-to-day work on the CGSpace repository.

June, 2024

2024-06-03

  • Working on IFPRI datasets
  • I used this GREL in OpenRefine to create a new column based on URLs using the DOI (uppercasing the DOI for Dataverse):
"https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/datasets/export?exporter=dataverse_json&persistentId=doi:" + value.split('https://doi.org/')[-1].toUppercase()
  • Then I was able to extract the license text from the JSON response using:
value.parseJson()['datasetVersion']['termsOfUse']
  • Similar for the Handle…

2024-06-04

  • Some Dataverse entries have the license in ['datasetVersion']['license'] instead…
  • I finalized cleaning the 722 IFPRI datasets and uploaded them to CGSpace

2024-06-14

  • Minor cleanups on IFPRI’s 2016–2019 batch migration file
    • I will start with duplicates on unique identifiers like DOIs

2026-06-18

  • Merge and upload metadata for duplicates in IFPRI’s 2016–2019 set:
    • 144 exact match on CGSpace via DOI, type, and date
    • 32 with CGSpace handles
    • I also spent some time converting the ilri/post_bitstreams.py script to use the DSpace 7 REST API via dspace-rest-client
    • There are 28 PDFs specified for these 176 duplicates, and a handful of them do not already exist on CGSpace so I will upload them

2024-06-19

  • Spent some time checking the remaining 3312 IFPRI 2016–2019 migration set for duplicates on CGSpace
    • There seem to be about 50 exact matches of title, type, and issue date

2024-06-20

  • Finalize merging and uploading metadata for 48 duplicates from the IFPRI 2016–2019 migration set
  • Heavy load on both CGSpace and DSpace 7 Test this afternoon
    • Took me a while to figure out it was due to someone / something hammering /search for a bunch of facets
    • The pm2 logs command was more useful than the nginx logs to see the requests at least, for example:
0|dspace-ui  | GET /search?f.sdg=SDG%2013%20-%20Climate%20action,equals&spc.page=1&f.accessRights=Open%20Access,equals&f.dateIssued.min=2023&f.dateIssued.max=2024&f.country=Colombia,equals&f.subject=climate%20change,equals&f.region=Latin%20America%20and%20the%20Caribbean,equals&f.publisher=CGIAR%20FOCUS%20Climate%20Security,equals - - ms - -
1|dspace-ui  | GET /search?f.accessRights=Open%20Access,equals&spc.page=1&f.sponsorship=CGIAR%20Trust%20Fund,equals&f.impactArea=Climate%20adaptation%20and%20mitigation,equals&f.region=Eastern%20Africa,equals&f.publisher=International%20Institute%20of%20Tropical%20Agriculture,equals - - ms - -
3|dspace-ui  | GET /search?f.sdg=SDG%2013%20-%20Climate%20action,equals&f.sdg=SDG%2012%20-%20Responsible%20consumption%20and%20production,equals&spc.page=1&f.affiliation=CGIAR%20Research%20Program%20on%20Climate%20Change,%20Agriculture%20and%20Food%20Security,equals&f.affiliation=Alliance%20of%20Bioversity%20International%20and%20CIAT,equals&f.dateIssued.min=2020&f.dateIssued.max=2021&f.impactArea=Environmental%20health%20and%20biodiversity,equals - - ms - -
  • Still difficult to find the client, because the logs are all coming from Angular’s user agent and IP
    • I changed the nginx logging to use the X-Forwarded-For header, as the default combined log format uses $remote_addr by default, which is only accurate if the request doesn’t come from Angular (ie directly to the API)
    • From what I can see now the IPs are all coming from Huawei Cloud and Tencent
    • The ASNs are AS136907 (Huawei) and AS132203 (Tencent)
    • For now I will just add those to the list of bot networks

2024-06-21

  • Update the nginx logging to use nginx’s real_ip module to log the correct client IP
    • I think this means we will start sending ‘bot’ to the Angular / Express frontend because bot IPs will be properly classified now…
    • I will have to re-work or at least re-think that nginx configuration for requests going to the frontend because the proposed fix in https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2902 is to pass on the client’s user-agent
  • Then I updated the list of bot networks:
