CGSpace Notes

2020-04-02

• Maria asked me to update Charles Staver’s ORCID iD in the submission template and on CGSpace, as his name was lower case before, and now he has corrected it

2020-03-02

• Update dspace-statistics-api for DSpace 6+ UUIDs
  • Tag version 1.2.0 on GitHub
• Test migrating legacy Solr statistics to UUIDs with the as-of-yet unreleased SolrUpgradePre6xStatistics.java
  • You need to download this into the DSpace 6.x source and compile it

2020-02-02

• Continue working on porting CGSpace’s DSpace 5 code to DSpace 6.3 that I started yesterday
  • Sign up for an account with MaxMind so I can get the GeoLite2-City.mmdb database
  • I still need to wire up the API credentials and cron job into the Ansible infrastructure playbooks
  • Fix some minor issues in the config and XMLUI themes, like removing Atmire stuff
  • The code finally builds and runs with a fresh install

2020-01-06

• Open a ticket with Atmire to request a quote for the upgrade to DSpace 6
• Last week Altmetric responded about the item that had a lower score than than its DOI
  • The score is now linked to the DOI
  • Another item that had the same problem in 2019 has now also linked to the score for its DOI
  • Another item that had the same problem in 2019 has also been fixed

2020-01-07

• Peter Ballantyne highlighted one more WLE item that is missing the Altmetric score that its DOI has
  • The DOI has a score of 259, but the Handle has no score at all
  • I tweeted the CGSpace repository link

• Upgrade CGSpace (linode18) to Ubuntu 18.04:
  • Check any packages that have residual configs and purge them:
  • # dpkg -l | grep -E ‘^rc’ | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs dpkg -P
  • Make sure all packages are up to date and the package manager is up to date, then reboot:

# apt update && apt full-upgrade
# apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean
# dpkg -C
# reboot

2019-11-04

• Peter noticed that there were 5.2 million hits on CGSpace in 2019-10 according to the Atmire usage statistics
  • I looked in the nginx logs and see 4.6 million in the access logs, and 1.2 million in the API logs:

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/*access.log.*.gz | grep -cE "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
4671942
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/{rest,oai,statistics}.log.*.gz | grep -cE "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
1277694

• So 4.6 million from XMLUI and another 1.2 million from API requests
• Let’s see how many of the REST API requests were for bitstreams (because they are counted in Solr stats):

# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -c -E "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019"
1183456 
# zcat --force /var/log/nginx/rest.log.*.gz | grep -E "[0-9]{1,2}/Oct/2019" | grep -c -E "/rest/bitstreams"
106781

Possible changes to CGSpace metadata fields to align more with DC, QDC, and DCTERMS as well as CG Core v2.

With reference to CG Core v2 draft standard by Marie-Angélique as well as DCMI DCTERMS.

• Linode emailed to say that CGSpace (linode18) had a high rate of outbound traffic for several hours this morning
• Here are the top ten IPs in the nginx XMLUI and REST/OAI logs this morning:

• Look at Bioversity’s latest migration CSV and now I see that Francesco has cleaned up the extra columns and the newline at the end of the file, but many of the column headers have an extra space in the name…

2019-08-04

• Deploy ORCID identifier updates requested by Bioversity to CGSpace
• Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it
  • Before updating it I checked Solr and verified that all statistics cores were loaded properly…
  • After rebooting, all statistics cores were loaded… wow, that’s lucky.
• Run system updates on DSpace Test (linode19) and reboot it
