<li>Working on the nginx redirects for CGIAR Library</li>

<li>We should start using 301 redirects and also allow for <code>/sitemap</code> to work on the library.cgiar.org domain so the CGIAR System Organization people can update their Google Search Console and allow Google to find their content in a structured way</li>

<li>So there were 2049 unique sessions during the hour of 2AM</li>

<li>I think I’ll need to enable access logging in nginx to figure out what’s going on</li>
|

<li>After enabling logging on requests to XMLUI on <code>/</code> I see some new bot I’ve never seen before:</li>

|
||
<li>CORE seems to be some bot that is “Aggregating the world’s open access research papers”</li>
|

<li>The contact address listed in their bot’s user agent is incorrect, correct page is simply: <a href="https://core.ac.uk/contact">https://core.ac.uk/contact</a></li>
|
||
<li>I will check the logs in a few days to see if they are harvesting us regularly, then add their bot’s user agent to the Tomcat Crawler Session Valve</li>
|
||
<li>After browsing the CORE site it seems that the CGIAR Library is somehow a member of CORE, so they have probably only been harvesting CGSpace since we did the migration, as library.cgiar.org directs to us now</li>
|
||
<li>For now I will just contact them to have them update their contact info in the bot’s user agent, but eventually I think I’ll tell them to swap out the CGIAR Library entry for CGSpace</li>

<li>From looking at the requests, it appears these are from CIAT and CCAFS</li>

<li>I wonder if I could somehow instruct them to use a user agent so that we could apply a crawler session manager valve to them</li>

<li>Actually, according to the Tomcat docs, we could use an IP with <code>crawlerIps</code>: <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Crawler_Session_Manager_Valve">https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html#Crawler_Session_Manager_Valve</a></li>

<li>I’ve emailed the CORE people to ask if they can update the repository information from CGIAR Library to CGSpace</li>

<li>I added <a href="https://goaccess.io/">GoAccess</a> to the list of package to install in the DSpace role of the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure scripts</a></li>

<li>According to Uptime Robot CGSpace went down and up a few times</li>

<li>I’m really starting to get annoyed with these guys, and thinking about blocking their IP address for a few days to see if CGSpace becomes more stable</li>

<li>Actually, come to think of it, they aren’t even obeying <code>robots.txt</code>, because we actually disallow <code>/discover</code> and <code>/search-filter</code> URLs but they are hitting those massively:</li>
