- Looking at log file use on CGSpace and notice that we need to work on our cron setup a bit
- We are backing up all logs in the log folder, including useless stuff like solr, cocoon, handle-plugin, etc
- After running DSpace for over five years I’ve never needed to look in any other log file than dspace.log, leave alone one from last year!
- This will save us a few gigs of backup space we’re paying for on S3
- Also, I noticed the
checker log has some errors we should pay attention to:

- So this would be the
tomcat7 Unix user, who seems to have a default limit of 1024 files in its shell
- For what it’s worth, we have been setting the actual Tomcat 7 process’ limit to 16384 for a few years (in
/etc/default/tomcat7)
- Looks like cron will read limits from
/etc/security/limits.* so we can do something for the tomcat7 user there
- Submit pull request for Tomcat 7 limits in Ansible dspace role (#30)

- Reduce Amazon S3 storage used for logs from 46 GB to 6GB by deleting a bunch of logs we don’t need!
# s3cmd ls s3://cgspace.cgiar.org/log/ > /tmp/s3-logs.txt
# grep checker.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del
# grep cocoon.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del
# grep handle-plugin.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del
# grep solr.log /tmp/s3-logs.txt | awk '{print $4}' | xargs s3cmd del
- Also, adjust the cron jobs for backups so they only backup
dspace.log and some stats files (.dat)
- Try to do some metadata field migrations using the Atmire batch UI (
dc.Species → cg.species) but it took several hours and even missed a few records
2016-04-06
- A better way to move metadata on this scale is via SQL, for example
dc.type.output → dc.type (their IDs in the metadatafieldregistry are 66 and 109, respectively):
dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set metadata_field_id=109 where metadata_field_id=66;
UPDATE 40852
- After that an
index-discovery -bf is required
- Start working on metadata migrations, add 25 or so new metadata fields to CGSpace
2016-04-07
$ ./migrate-fields.sh
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=109 WHERE metadata_field_id=66
UPDATE 40883
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=202 WHERE metadata_field_id=72
UPDATE 21420
UPDATE metadatavalue SET metadata_field_id=203 WHERE metadata_field_id=76
