<li>Then run all system updates and reboot the server</li>
<li>After the server came back up I cloned the <code>openrxv-items-final</code> index to <code>openrxv-items-temp</code> and started the plugins
<ul>
<li>This will hopefully be faster than a full re-harvest&hellip;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I opened a few GitHub issues for OpenRXV bugs:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/103">Hide &ldquo;metadata structure&rdquo; section in repository setup</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/104">Improve &ldquo;start plugins&rdquo; and &ldquo;commit indexing&rdquo; buttons</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/105">Allow running plugins individually</a></li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/106">Hide the &ldquo;DSpace add missing items&rdquo;</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Rebuild DSpace Test (linode26) from a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 image on Linode</li>
<li>The start plugins on AReS had seventy-five errors from the <code>dspace_add_missing_items</code> plugin for some reason so I had to start a fresh indexing</li>
<li>I noticed that the WorldFish data has dozens of incorrect countries so I should talk to Salem about that because they manage it
<ul>
<li>Also I noticed that we weren&rsquo;t using the Country formatter in OpenRXV for the WorldFish country field, so some values don&rsquo;t get mapped properly</li>
<li>I added some value mappings to fix some issues with WorldFish data and added a few more fields to the repository harvesting config and started a fresh re-indexing</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>The AReS harvesting last night succeeded and I started the plugins</li>
<li>Margarita from CCAFS asked if we can create a new field for AICCRA publications

<li>I asked her to clarify what they want</li>
<li>AICCRA is an initiative so it might be better to create new field for that, for example <code>cg.contributor.initiative</code></li>

<li>His changes reminded me that we can perhaps switch back to using this pooling instead of Tomcat 7&rsquo;s JDBC pooling via JNDI</li>

<li>I ran all updates on the server (linode18) and restarted it, then DSpace came back up</li>
<li>I sent a message to Atmire, as I never heard from them last week when we blocked access to the REST API for two days for them to investigate the server issues</li>
<li>Clone the <code>openrxv-items-temp</code> index on AReS and re-run all the plugins, but most of the &ldquo;dspace_add_missing_items&rdquo; tasks failed so I will just run a full re-harvest</li>
<li>The load on CGSpace is 45.00&hellip; the nginx access.log is going so fast I can&rsquo;t even read it
<ul>
<li>I see lots of IPs from AS206485 that are changing their user agents (Linux, Windows, macOS&hellip;)</li>
<li>This is finegroupservers.com aka &ldquo;UGB - UGB Hosting OU&rdquo;</li>
<li>I will get a list of their IP blocks from <a href="https://asn.ipinfo.app/AS206485">ipinfo.app</a> and block them in nginx</li>
<li>There is another group of IPs that are owned by an ISP called &ldquo;TrafficTransitSolution LLC&rdquo; that does not have its own ASN unfortunately</li>
<li>&ldquo;TrafficTransitSolution LLC&rdquo; seems to be affiliated with AS206485 (UGB Hosting OU) anyways, but they sometimes use AS49453 Global Layer B.V.G also</li>
<li>I found a tool that lets you grep a file by CIDR, so I can use that to purge hits from Solr eventually:</li>
