- Meeting with AgroKnow to discuss CGSpace, ILRI data, AReS, GARDIAN, etc
- They asked if we had plans to enable RDF support in CGSpace
- There have been 4,400 more downloads of the CTA Spore publication from those strange Amazon IP addresses today
- I suspected that some might not be successful, because the stats show less, but today they were all HTTP 200!

- In the last two weeks there have been 47,000 downloads of this same exact PDF by these three IP addresses
- Apply country and region corrections and deletions on DSpace Test and CGSpace:
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i /tmp/2019-02-21-fix-9-countries.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f cg.coverage.country -m 228 -t ACTION -d

- CTA says the Amazon IPs are AWS gateways for real user traffic
- I was trying to add Felix Shaw’s account back to the Administrators group on DSpace Test, but I couldn’t find his name in the user search of the groups page
- If I searched for “Felix” or “Shaw” I saw other matches, included one for his personal email address!
- I ended up finding him via searching for his email address

- Maria from Bioversity emailed me a list of new ORCID identifiers for their researchers so I will add them to our controlled vocabulary
- First I need to extract the ones that are unique from their list compared to our existing one:
$ cat dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml /tmp/bioversity.txt | grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort -u > /tmp/2019-04-03-orcid-ids.txt
- We currently have 1177 unique ORCID identifiers, and this brings our total to 1237!
- Next I will resolve all their names using my
resolve-orcids.py
script:
$ ./resolve-orcids.py -i /tmp/2019-04-03-orcid-ids.txt -o 2019-04-03-orcid-ids.txt -d
- After that I added the XML formatting, formatted the file with tidy, and sorted the names in vim
- One user’s name has changed so I will update those using my
fix-metadata-values.py
script:
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i 2019-04-03-update-orcids.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f cg.creator.id -m 240 -t correct -d
- I created a pull request and merged the changes to the 5_x-prod branch (#417)
- A few days ago I noticed some weird update process for the statistics-2018 Solr core and I see it’s still going:
2019-04-03 16:34:02,262 INFO org.dspace.statistics.SolrLogger @ Updating : 1754500/21701 docs in http://localhost:8081/solr//statistics-2018
- Interestingly, there are 5666 occurences, and they are mostly for the 2018 core:
$ grep 'org.dspace.statistics.SolrLogger @ Updating' /home/cgspace.cgiar.org/log/dspace.log.2019-04-03 | awk '{print $11}' | sort | uniq -c
1
3 http://localhost:8081/solr//statistics-2017
5662 http://localhost:8081/solr//statistics-2018
- I will have to keep an eye on it because nothing should be updating 2018 stats in 2019…

- Uptime Robot reported that CGSpace (linode18) went down tonight
- I see there are lots of PostgreSQL connections:
$ psql -c 'select * from pg_stat_activity' | grep -o -E '(dspaceWeb|dspaceApi|dspaceCli)' | sort | uniq -c
5 dspaceApi
10 dspaceCli
250 dspaceWeb
- I still see those weird messages about updating the statistics-2018 Solr core:
2019-04-05 21:06:53,770 INFO org.dspace.statistics.SolrLogger @ Updating : 2444600/21697 docs in http://localhost:8081/solr//statistics-2018
- Looking at
iostat 1 10
I also see some CPU steal has come back, and I can confirm it by looking at the Munin graphs:
- The other thing visible there is that the past few days the load has spiked to 500% and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Solr updating thing is happening…
- I ran all system updates and rebooted the server
- The load was lower on the server after reboot, but Solr didn’t come back up properly according to the Solr Admin UI:
statistics-2017: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error opening new searcher
- I restarted it again and all the Solr cores came up properly…

- Udana asked why item 10568⁄91278 didn’t have an Altmetric badge on CGSpace, but on the WLE website it does
- I looked and saw that the WLE website is using the Altmetric score associated with the DOI, and that the Handle has no score at all
- I tweeted the item and I assume this will link the Handle with the DOI in the system
- Twenty minutes later I see the same Altmetric score (9) on CGSpace
- Linode sent an alert that there was high CPU usage this morning on CGSpace (linode18) and these were the top IPs in the webserver access logs around the time:

is in Colombia so it’s probably CIAT, and I see they are indeed trying to get crawl the Discover pages on CIAT’s datasets collection:
GET /handle/10568/72970/discover?filtertype_0=type&filtertype_1=author&filter_relational_operator_1=contains&filter_relational_operator_0=equals&filter_1=&filter_0=Dataset&filtertype=dateIssued&filter_relational_operator=equals&filter=2014
- Their user agent is the one I added to the badbots list in nginx last week: “GuzzleHttp/6.3.3 curl/7.47.0 PHP/7.0.30-0ubuntu0.16.04.1”
- They made 22,000 requests to Discover on this collection today alone (and it’s only 11AM):
# cat /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/access.log.1 | grep "06/Apr/2019" | grep 45.5.184.72 | grep -oE '/handle/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/discover' | sort | uniq -c
22077 /handle/10568/72970/discover
- Yesterday they made 43,000 requests and we actually blocked most of them:
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/access.log /var/log/nginx/access.log.1 /var/log/nginx/access.log.2.gz | grep "05/Apr/2019" | grep 45.5.184.72 | grep -oE '/handle/[0-9]+/[0-9]+/discover' | sort | uniq -c

- I need to find a contact at CIAT to tell them to use the REST API rather than crawling Discover
- Maria from Bioversity recommended that we use the phrase “AGROVOC subject” instead of “Subject” in Listings and Reports
- I made a pull request to update this and merged it to the
5_x-prod
branch (#418)
