• IWMI notified me that AReS was down with an HTTP 502 error
  • Looking at UptimeRobot I see it has been down for 33 hours, but I never got a notification
  • I don't see anything in the Elasticsearch container logs, or the systemd journal on the host, but I notice that the angular_nginx container isn't running
  • I simply started it and AReS was running again:

$ docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml start angular_nginx

• Margarita from CCAFS emailed me to say that workflow alerts haven't been working lately
  • I guess this is related to the SMTP issues last week
  • I had fixed the config, but didn't restart Tomcat so DSpace didn't load the new variables
  • I ran all system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and DSpace Test (linode26) and rebooted the servers

• Meeting with AMCOW and IWMI to discuss AMCOW getting IWMI's content into the new AMCOW Knowledge Hub
  • At first we spent some time talking about DSpace communities/collections and the REST API, but then they said they actually prefer to send queries to sites on the fly and cache them in Redis for some time
  • That's when I thought they could perhaps use the OpenSearch, but I can't remember if it's possible to limit by community, or only collection...
  • Looking now, I see there is a "scope" parameter that can be used for community or collection, for example:

https://cgspace.cgiar.org/open-search/discover?query=subject:water%20scarcity&scope=10568/16814&order=DESC&rpp=100&sort_by=2&start=1

• That will sort by date issued (see: webui.itemlist.sort-option.2 in dspace.cfg), give 100 results per page, and start on item 1
• Otherwise, another alternative would be to use the IWMI CSV that we are already exporting every week
• Fill out the CGIAR-AGROVOC Task Group: Survey on the current CGIAR use of AGROVOC survey on behalf of CGSpace
