CGSpace Notes

2019-01-02

• Linode alerted that CGSpace (linode18) had a higher outbound traffic rate than normal early this morning
• I don’t see anything interesting in the web server logs around that time though:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Jan/2019:0(1|2|3)" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
     92 40.77.167.4
     99 210.7.29.100
    120 38.126.157.45
    177 35.237.175.180
    177 40.77.167.32
    216 66.249.75.219
    225 18.203.76.93
    261 46.101.86.248
    357 207.46.13.1
    903 54.70.40.11

• Analyzing the types of requests made by the top few IPs during that time:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Jan/2019:0(1|2|3)" | grep 54.70.40.11 | grep -o -E "(bitstream|discover|handle)" | sort | uniq -c
     30 bitstream
    534 discover
    352 handle
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Jan/2019:0(1|2|3)" | grep 207.46.13.1 | grep -o -E "(bitstream|discover|handle)" | sort | uniq -c
    194 bitstream
    345 handle
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "02/Jan/2019:0(1|2|3)" | grep 46.101.86.248 | grep -o -E "(bitstream|discover|handle)" | sort | uniq -c
    261 handle

• It’s not clear to me what was causing the outbound traffic spike
• Oh nice! The once-per-year cron job for rotating the Solr statistics actually worked now (for the first time ever!):

Moving: 81742 into core statistics-2010
Moving: 1837285 into core statistics-2011
Moving: 3764612 into core statistics-2012
Moving: 4557946 into core statistics-2013
Moving: 5483684 into core statistics-2014
Moving: 2941736 into core statistics-2015
Moving: 5926070 into core statistics-2016
Moving: 10562554 into core statistics-2017
Moving: 18497180 into core statistics-2018

• This could by why the outbound traffic rate was high, due to the S3 backup that run at 3:30AM…
• Run all system updates on DSpace Test (linode19) and reboot the server

2019-01-03

• Update local Docker image for DSpace PostgreSQL, re-using the existing data volume:

$ sudo docker pull postgres:9.6-alpine
$ sudo docker rm dspacedb
$ sudo docker run --name dspacedb -v /home/aorth/.local/lib/containers/volumes/dspacedb_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:9.6-alpine

• Testing DSpace 5.9 with Tomcat 8.5.37 on my local machine and I see that Atmire’s Listings and Reports still doesn’t work
  • After logging in via XMLUI and clicking the Listings and Reports link from the sidebar it redirects me to a JSPUI login page
  • If I log in again there the Listings and Reports work… hmm.
• The JSPUI application—which Listings and Reports depends upon—also does not load, though the error is perhaps unrelated:

• I notice that I get different JSESSIONID cookies for / (XMLUI) and /jspui (JSPUI) on Tomcat 8.5.37, I wonder if it’s the same on Tomcat 7.0.92… yes I do.
• Hmm, on Tomcat 7.0.92 I see that I get a dspace.current.user.id session cookie after logging into XMLUI, and then when I browse to JSPUI I am still logged in…
  • I didn’t see that cookie being set on Tomcat 8.5.37
• I sent a message to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask

• Linode sent a message last night that CGSpace (linode18) had high CPU usage, but I don’t see anything around that time in the web server logs:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "03/Jan/2019:1(7|8|9)" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10

• I’m thinking about trying to validate our dc.subject terms against AGROVOC webservices
• There seem to be a few APIs and the documentation is kinda confusing, but I found this REST endpoint that does work well, for example searching for SOIL:

$ http http://agrovoc.uniroma2.it/agrovoc/rest/v1/search?query=SOIL&lang=en
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 493
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:44:27 GMT
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Server: Apache
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains
Vary: Accept
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM http://aims.fao.org

{
    "@context": {
        "@language": "en",
        "altLabel": "skos:altLabel",
        "hiddenLabel": "skos:hiddenLabel",
        "isothes": "http://purl.org/iso25964/skos-thes#",
        "onki": "http://schema.onki.fi/onki#",
        "prefLabel": "skos:prefLabel",
        "results": {
            "@container": "@list",
            "@id": "onki:results"
        },
        "skos": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#",
        "type": "@type",
        "uri": "@id"
    },
    "results": [
        {
            "lang": "en",
            "prefLabel": "soil",
            "type": [
                "skos:Concept"
            ],
            "uri": "http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_7156",
            "vocab": "agrovoc"
        }
    ],
    "uri": ""
}

• The API does not appear to be case sensitive (searches for SOIL and soil return the same thing)
• I’m a bit confused that there’s no obvious return code or status when a term is not found, for example SOILS:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Connection: Keep-Alive

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains
Vary: Accept
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM http://aims.fao.org

{
    "@context": {
        "@language": "en",
        "altLabel": "skos:altLabel",
        "hiddenLabel": "skos:hiddenLabel",
        "isothes": "http://purl.org/iso25964/skos-thes#",
        "onki": "http://schema.onki.fi/onki#",
        "prefLabel": "skos:prefLabel",
        "results": {
            "@container": "@list",
            "@id": "onki:results"
        },
        "skos": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#",
        "type": "@type",
        "uri": "@id"
    },
    "results": [],
    "uri": ""
}

• I guess the results object will just be empty…
• Another way would be to try with SPARQL, perhaps using the Python 2.7 sparql-client:

$ python2.7 -m virtualenv /tmp/sparql
$ . /tmp/sparql/bin/activate
$ pip install sparql-client ipython
$ ipython
In [10]: import sparql
In [11]: s = sparql.Service("http://agrovoc.uniroma2.it:3030/agrovoc/sparql", "utf-8", "GET")
In [12]: statement=('PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#> '
    ...: 'SELECT '
    ...: '?label '
    ...: 'WHERE { '
    ...: '{  ?concept  skos:altLabel ?label . } UNION {  ?concept  skos:prefLabel ?label . } '
    ...: 'FILTER regex(str(?label), "^fish", "i") . '
    ...: '} LIMIT 10')
In [13]: result = s.query(statement)
In [14]: for row in result.fetchone():
   ...:     print(row)
   ...:
(<Literal "fish catching"@en>,)
(<Literal "fish harvesting"@en>,)
(<Literal "fish meat"@en>,)
(<Literal "fish roe"@en>,)
(<Literal "fish conversion"@en>,)
(<Literal "fisheries catches (composition)"@en>,)
(<Literal "fishtail palm"@en>,)
(<Literal "fishflies"@en>,)
(<Literal "fishery biology"@en>,)
(<Literal "fish production"@en>,)

• The SPARQL query comes from my notes in 2017-08

• I built a clean DSpace 5.8 installation from the upstream dspace-5.8 tag and the issue with the XMLUI/JSPUI login is still there with Tomcat 8.5.37
  • If I log into XMLUI and then nagivate to JSPUI I need to log in again
  • XMLUI does not set the dspace.current.user.id session cookie in Tomcat 8.5.37 for some reason
  • I sent an update to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask for more help troubleshooting

2019-01-07

• I built a clean DSpace 6.3 installation from the upstream dspace-6.3 tag and the issue with the XMLUI/JSPUI login is still there with Tomcat 8.5.37
  • If I log into XMLUI and then nagivate to JSPUI I need to log in again
  • XMLUI does not set the dspace.current.user.id session cookie in Tomcat 8.5.37 for some reason
  • I sent an update to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask for more help troubleshooting

2019-01-08

• Tim Donohue responded to my thread about the cookies on the dspace-tech mailing list
  • He suspects it’s a change of behavior in Tomcat 8.5, and indeed I see a mention of new cookie processing in the Tomcat 8.5 migration guide
  • I tried to switch my XMLUI and JSPUI contexts to use the LegacyCookieProcessor, but it didn’t seem to help
  • I filed DS-4140 on the DSpace issue tracker

2019-01-11

• Tezira wrote to say she has stopped receiving the DSpace Submission Approved and Archived emails from CGSpace as of January 2nd
  • I told her that I haven’t done anything to disable it lately, but that I would check
  • Bizu also says she hasn’t received them lately

2019-01-14

• Day one of CGSpace AReS meeting in Amman

2019-01-15

• Day two of CGSpace AReS meeting in Amman
  • Discuss possibly extending the dspace-statistics-api to make community and collection statistics available
  • Discuss new “final” CG Core document and some changes that we’ll need to do on CGSpace and other repositories
  • We agreed to try to stick to pure Dublin Core where possible, then use fields that exist in standard DSpace, and use “cg” namespace for everything else
  • Major changes are to move dc.contributor.author to dc.creator (which MELSpace and WorldFish are already using in their DSpace repositories)
• I am testing the speed of the WorldFish DSpace repository’s REST API and it’s five to ten times faster than CGSpace as I tested in 2018-10:

$ time http --print h 'https://digitalarchive.worldfishcenter.org/rest/items?expand=metadata,bitstreams,parentCommunityList&limit=100&offset=0'

0.16s user 0.03s system 3% cpu 5.185 total
0.17s user 0.02s system 2% cpu 7.123 total
0.18s user 0.02s system 6% cpu 3.047 total

• In other news, Linode sent a mail last night that the CPU load on CGSpace (linode18) was high, here are the top IPs in the logs around those few hours:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "14/Jan/2019:(17|18|19|20)" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10

• Day three of CGSpace AReS meeting in Amman
  • We discussed CG Core 2.0 metadata and decided some action points
  • We discussed branding of AReS tool
• Notes from our CG Core 2.0 metadata discussion:
  • Not Dublin Core:
  • dc.subtype
  • dc.peer-reviewed
  • Dublin Core, possible action for CGSpace:
  • dc.description:
    • We use dc.description.abstract, dc.description (Notes), dc.description.version (Peer review status), dc.description.sponsorship (Funder)
    • Maybe move abstract to dc.description
    • Maybe notes moves to cg.description.notes???
    • Maybe move dc.description.version to cg.peer-reviewed or cg.peer-review-status???
    • Move dc.description.sponsorship to cg.contributor.donor???
  • dc.subject:
    • Wait for guidance, evaluate technical implications (Google indexing, OAI, etc)
  • Move dc.contributor.author to dc.creator
  • dc.contributor Project
    • Recommend against creating new fields for all projects
    • We use collections projects/themes/etc
  • dc.contributor Project Lead Center
    • MELSpace uses cg.contributor.project-lead-institute (institute is more generic than center)
    • Maybe we use?
  • dc.contributor Partner
    • Wait for guidance
    • MELSpace uses cg.contibutor.center (?)
  • dc.contributor Donor
    • Use cg.contributor.donor
  • dc.date
    • Wait for guidance, maybe move dc.date.issued?
    • dc.date.accessioned and dc.date.available are automatic in DSpace
  • dc.language
    • Move dc.language.iso to dc.language
  • dc.identifier
    • Move cg.identifier.url to dc.identifier
  • dc.identifier bibliographicCitation
    • dc.identifier.citation should move to dc.bibliographicCitation
  • dc.description.notes
    • Wait for guidance, maybe move to cg.description.notes ???
  • dc.relation
    • Maybe move cg.link.reference
    • Perhaps consolodate cg.link.audio etc there…?
  • dc.relation.isPartOf
    • Move dc.relation.ispartofseries to dc.relation.isPartOf
  • dc.audience
    • Move cg.targetaudience to dc.audience
• Something happened to the Solr usage statistics on CGSpace
  • I looked on the server and the Solr cores are there (56GB!), and I don’t see any obvious errors in dmesg or anything
  • I see that the server hasn’t been rebooted in 26 days so I rebooted it
• After reboot the Solr stats are still messed up in the Atmire Usage Stats module, it only shows 2019-01!

• In the Solr admin UI I see the following error:

statistics-2018: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error opening new searcher

• Looking in the Solr log I see this:

2019-01-16 13:37:55,395 ERROR org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer @ Error creating core [statistics-2018]: Error opening new searcher

• Send reminder to Atmire about purchasing the MQM module
• Trying to decide the solid action points for CGSpace on the CG Core 2.0 metadata…
• It’s difficult to decide some of these because the current CG Core 2.0 document does not provide guidance or rationale (yet)!
• Also, there is not a good Dublin Core reference (or maybe I just don’t understand?)
• Several authoritative documents on Dublin Core appear to be:
  • Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, Version 1.1: Reference Description
  • DCMI Metadata Terms
• And what is the relationship between DC and DCTERMS?
• DSpace uses DCTERMS in the metadata it embeds in XMLUI item views!
• We really need to look at this more carefully and see the impacts that might be made from switching core fields like languages, abstract, authors, etc
• We can check WorldFish and MELSpace repositories to see what effects these changes have had on theirs because they have already adopted some of these changes…
• I think I understand the difference between DC and DCTERMS finally: DC is the original set of fifteen elements and DCTERMS is the newer version that was supposed to address much of the drawbacks of the original with regards to digital content
• We might be able to use some proper fields for citation, abstract, etc that are part of DCTERMS
• To make matters more confusing, there is also “qualified Dublin Core” that uses the original fifteen elements of legacy DC and qualifies them, like dc.date.accessioned
  • According to Wikipedia Qualified Dublin Core was superseded by DCTERMS in 2008!
• So we should be trying to use DCTERMS where possible, unless it is some internal thing that might mess up DSpace (like dates)
• “Elements 1.1” means legacy DC
• Possible action list for CGSpace:
  • dc.description.abstract → dcterms.abstract
  • dc.description.version → cg.peer-reviewed (or cg.peer-review-status?)
  • dc.description.sponsorship → cg.contributor.donor
  • dc.contributor.author → dc.creator
  • dc.language.iso → dcterms.language
  • cg.identifier.url → dcterms.identifier
  • dc.identifier.citation → dcterms.bibliographicCitation
  • dc.relation.ispartofseries → dcterms.isPartOf
  • cg.targetaudience → dcterms.audience

• There’s no official set of Dublin Core qualifiers so I can’t tell if things like dc.contributor.author that are used by DSpace are official
• I found a great presentation from 2015 by the Digital Repository of Ireland that discusses using MARC Relator Terms with Dublin Core elements
• It seems that dc.contributor.author would be a supported term according to this Library of Congress list linked from the Dublin Core website
• The Library of Congress document specifically says:

These terms conform with the DCMI Abstract Model and may be used in DCMI application profiles. DCMI endorses their use with Dublin Core elements as indicated.

• That’s weird, I logged into DSpace Test (linode19) and it says it has been up for 213 days:

# w
 04:46:14 up 213 days,  7:25,  4 users,  load average: 1.94, 1.50, 1.35

• I’ve definitely rebooted it several times in the past few months… according to journalctl -b it was a few weeks ago on 2019-01-02
• I re-ran the Ansible DSpace tag, ran all system updates, and rebooted the host
• After rebooting I notice that the Linode kernel went down from 4.19.8 to 4.18.16…
• Atmire sent a quote on our ticket about purchasing the Metadata Quality Module (MQM) for DSpace 5.8
• Abenet asked me for an OpenSearch query that could generate and RSS feed for items in the Livestock CRP
• According to my notes, sort_by=3 is accession date (as configured in `dspace.cfg)
• The query currently shows 3023 items, but a Discovery search for Livestock CRP only returns 858 items
• That query seems to return items tagged with Livestock and Fish CRP as well… hmm.

• Investigating running Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 18.04 with the tarball and a custom systemd package instead of waiting for our DSpace to get compatible with Ubuntu 18.04’s Tomcat 8.5
• I could either run with a simple tomcat7.service like this:

• Or try to use adapt a real systemd service like Arch Linux’s:

• I see that jsvc and libcommons-daemon-java are both available on Ubuntu so that should be easy to port
• We probably don’t need Eclipse Java Bytecode Compiler (ecj)
• I tested Tomcat 7.0.92 on Arch Linux using the tomcat7.service with jsvc and it works… nice!
• I think I might manage this the same way I do the restic releases in the Ansible infrastructure scripts, where I download a specific version and symlink to some generic location without the version number
• I verified that there is indeed an issue with sharded Solr statistics cores on DSpace, which will cause inaccurate results in the dspace-statistics-api:

$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/select?indent=on&rows=0&q=type:2+id:11576&fq=isBot:false&fq=statistics_type:view' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="33" start="0">
$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics-2018/select?indent=on&rows=0&q=type:2+id:11576&fq=isBot:false&fq=statistics_type:view' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="241" start="0">

• I opened an issue on the GitHub issue tracker (#10)
• I don’t think the SolrClient library we are currently using supports these type of queries so we might have to just do raw queries with requests
• The pysolr library says it supports multicore indexes, but I am not sure it does (or at least not with our setup):

import pysolr
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics')
results = solr.search('type:2', **{'fq': 'isBot:false AND statistics_type:view', 'facet': 'true', 'facet.field': 'id', 'facet.mincount': 1, 'facet.limit': 10, 'facet.offset': 0, 'rows': 0})
print(results.facets['facet_fields'])
{'id': ['77572', 646, '93185', 380, '92932', 375, '102499', 372, '101430', 337, '77632', 331, '102449', 289, '102485', 276, '100849', 270, '47080', 260]}

• If I double check one item from above, for example 77572, it appears this is only working on the current statistics core and not the shards:

import pysolr
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics')
results = solr.search('type:2 id:77572', **{'fq': 'isBot:false AND statistics_type:view'})
print(results.hits)
646
solr = pysolr.Solr('http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics-2018/')
results = solr.search('type:2 id:77572', **{'fq': 'isBot:false AND statistics_type:view'})
print(results.hits)
595

• So I guess I need to figure out how to use join queries and maybe even switch to using raw Python requests with JSON
• This enumerates the list of Solr cores and returns JSON format:

http://localhost:3000/solr/admin/cores?action=STATUS&wt=json

• I think I figured out how to search across shards, I needed to give the whole URL to each other core
• Now I get more results when I start adding the other statistics cores:

$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/select?&indent=on&rows=0&q=*:*' | grep numFound<result name="response" numFound="2061320" start="0">
$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/select?&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2018&indent=on&rows=0&q=*:*' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="16280292" start="0" maxScore="1.0">
$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/select?&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2018,localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2017&indent=on&rows=0&q=*:*' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="25606142" start="0" maxScore="1.0">
$ http 'http://localhost:3000/solr/statistics/select?&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2018,localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2017,localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2016&indent=on&rows=0&q=*:*' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="31532212" start="0" maxScore="1.0">

• I should be able to modify the dspace-statistics-api to check the shards via the Solr core status, then add the shards parameter to each query to make the search distributed among the cores
• I implemented a proof of concept to query the Solr STATUS for active cores and to add them with a shards query string
• A few things I noticed:
  • Solr doesn’t mind if you use an empty shards parameter
  • Solr doesn’t mind if you have an extra comma at the end of the shards parameter
  • If you are searching multiple cores, you need to include the base core in the shards parameter as well
  • For example, compare the following two queries, first including the base core and the shard in the shards parameter, and then only including the shard:

$ http 'http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?indent=on&rows=0&q=type:2+id:11576&fq=isBot:false&fq=statistics_type:view&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics,localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2018' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="275" start="0" maxScore="12.205825">
$ http 'http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/select?indent=on&rows=0&q=type:2+id:11576&fq=isBot:false&fq=statistics_type:view&shards=localhost:8081/solr/statistics-2018' | grep numFound
<result name="response" numFound="241" start="0" maxScore="12.205825">

• Release version 0.9.0 of the dspace-statistics-api to address the issue of querying multiple Solr statistics shards
• I deployed it on DSpace Test (linode19) and restarted the indexer and now it shows all the stats from 2018 as well (756 pages of views, intead of 6)
• I deployed it on CGSpace (linode18) and restarted the indexer as well
• Linode sent an alert that CGSpace (linode18) was using high CPU this afternoon, the top ten IPs during that time were:

#ILRI research: Towards unlocking the potential of the hides and skins value chain in Somaliland https://t.co/EZH7ALW4dp

— ILRI Communications (@ILRI) January 18, 2019

• The shortened link is goo.gl/fb/VRj9Gq and it shows a “Dynamic Link not found” error from Firebase:

• Apparently Google announced last year that they plan to discontinue the shortner and transition to Firebase Dynamic Links in March, 2019, so maybe this is related…

• Very interesting discussion of methods for running Tomcat under systemd

• We can set the ulimit options that used to be in /etc/default/tomcat7 with systemd’s LimitNOFILE and LimitAS (see the systemd.exec man page)

  • Note that we need to use infinity instead of unlimited for the address space

• Create accounts for Bosun from IITA and Valerio from ICARDA / CGMEL on DSpace Test

• Maria Garruccio asked me for a list of author affiliations from all of their submitted items so she can clean them up

• I got a list of their collections from the CGSpace XMLUI and then used an SQL query to dump the unique values to CSV:

   4637 70.32.83.92
   9265 45.5.186.2

• I think it’s the usual IPs:

  • 45.5.186.2 is CIAT
  • 70.32.83.92 is CCAFS
  • 205.186.128.185 is CCAFS or perhaps another Macaroni Bros harvester (new ILRI website?)

• Following up on the thumbnail issue that we had in 2018-12

• It looks like the two items with problematic PDFs both have thumbnails now:

  • ¹⁰⁵⁶⁸⁄₉₈₃₉₀
  • ¹⁰⁵⁶⁸⁄₉₈₃₉₁

• Just to make sure these were not uploaded by the user or something, I manually forced the regeneration of these with DSpace’s filter-media:

$ schedtool -D -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 /home/cgspace.cgiar.org/bin/dspace filter-media -v -f -i 10568/98390
$ schedtool -D -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 /home/cgspace.cgiar.org/bin/dspace filter-media -v -f -i 10568/98391

• Both of these were successful, so there must have been an update to ImageMagick or Ghostscript in Ubuntu since early 2018-12
• Looking at the apt history logs I see that on 2018-12-07 a security update for Ghostscript was installed (version 9.26~dfsg+0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3)
• I think this Launchpad discussion is relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/+bug/1806517
• As well as the original Ghostscript bug report: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699815

2019-01-24

• I noticed Ubuntu’s Ghostscript 9.26 works on some troublesome PDFs where Arch’s Ghostscript 9.26 doesn’t, so the fix for the first/last page crash is not the patch I found yesterday
• Ubuntu’s Ghostscript uses another patch from Ghostscript git (upstream bug report)
• I re-compiled Arch’s ghostscript with the patch and then I was able to generate a thumbnail from one of the troublesome PDFs
• Before and after:

$ identify Food\ safety\ Kenya\ fruits.pdf\[0\]
zsh: abort (core dumped)  identify Food\ safety\ Kenya\ fruits.pdf\[0\]

• I reported it to the Arch Linux bug tracker (61513)
• I told Atmire to go ahead with the Metadata Quality Module addition based on our 5_x-dev branch (657)
• Linode sent alerts last night to say that CGSpace (linode18) was using high CPU last night, here are the top ten IPs from the nginx logs around that time:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "23/Jan/2019:(18|19|20)" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
    305 3.81.136.184
    306 3.83.14.11
    306 52.54.252.47
    325 54.221.57.180
    378 66.249.64.157
    424 54.70.40.11
    497 47.29.247.74
    783 35.237.175.180
   1108 66.249.64.155
   2378 45.5.186.2

• 45.5.186.2 is CIAT and 66.249.64.155 is Google… hmmm.
• Linode sent another alert this morning, here are the top ten IPs active during that time:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "24/Jan/2019:0(4|5|6)" | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 10
    360 3.89.134.93
    362 34.230.15.139
    366 100.24.48.177
    369 18.212.208.240
    377 3.81.136.184
    404 54.221.57.180
    506 66.249.64.155
   4642 70.32.83.92
   4643 205.186.128.185
   8593 45.5.186.2

• Just double checking what CIAT is doing, they are mainly hitting the REST API:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*.log /var/log/nginx/*.log.1 | grep -E "24/Jan/2019:" | grep 45.5.186.2 | grep -Eo "GET /(handle|bitstream|rest|oai)/" | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

• CIAT’s community currently has 12,000 items in it so this is normal
• The issue with goo.gl links that we saw yesterday appears to be resolved, as links are working again…
• For example: https://goo.gl/fb/VRj9Gq
