16:06	kenstir	How do I query the 856 field via OSRF? In the Android app, I provide an "online access" button for electronic resources, and "place hold" for others. I want to reliably determine whether a record is an online resource and if so the URL. I have been using "open-ils.search.biblio.record.mods_slim.retrieve", but it is not working in some cases.
16:15	Dyrcona	mods won't include the 856, I don't think.
16:16	Dyrcona	You could retrieve the MARC of the record and parse that.
16:20	kenstir	and can you lend me a clue as to how to retrieve the MARC of the record given a record ID?
16:23	kenstir	I am grepping through Open-ILS/src/perlmods for all methods with "marc" in the name but so far this is not fruitful.
16:29	Dyrcona	You can retrieve the bre object via pcrud. The marc field will have the marcxml representation of the record.
16:32	kenstir	Thanks, that's a great lead!
16:33	Dyrcona	You can also try open-ils.supercat.record.marcxml.retrieve
16:34	Dyrcona	I'm having fun trying to get FreeBSD syslog to route messages through a script...
16:34	kenstir	That does sound like fun:)
16:35	kenstir	I have been using https://webby.evergreencatalog.com/opac/extras/docgen.xsl to explore the service APIs, but they are not always listed.
16:37	Dyrcona	Well, if I grep lines from the logs into my script, the script seems to work.
16:37	Dyrcona	When I configure the line in syslog.conf, nothing seems to happen.
16:39	Dyrcona	Well, if that docgen.xsl is using srsh's introspect command, it can choke on the services with lots of autogenerated methods like storage and cstore.
16:42	Dyrcona	Well, I got my script to work. At least, it created the db file. :)
16:42	Dyrcona	I'm trying to be pro-active about blocking sites that try to guess passwords over email ports.
16:43	kenstir	Cool, I didn't know you could syslog to a script.
16:43	kenstir	Do you know about fail2ban?
16:43	Dyrcona	You can on FreeBSD. I'm not sure it works with rsyslog on most Linux systems.
16:43	Dyrcona	Yes, I know about it, but this is simpler. :)
16:43	kenstir	At my shop we use syslog-ng everywhere
16:44	Dyrcona	yeah, I looked at syslog-ng's documentation and I'm not sure you can do this with syslog-ng, either. :)
16:44	Dyrcona	Anyway, I'm blocking sites that try non-existent accounts or accounts that do not receive email immediately.
16:45	Dyrcona	If you try a legit account, you get blocked after so many failures in a certain time period, hence the dbm file.
16:46	Dyrcona	I tested it by deliberately messing up my password.
16:46	Dyrcona	I've been getting attacked every couple of weeks from Romania, Belize, and Ukraine mostly.
16:53	kenstir	It's annoying, but as soon as you bring up a server on a public IP it gets probed.
16:56	Dyrcona	Yeah.
16:56	Dyrcona	And my script works, 'cause I managed to fail enough times to get blocked in my firewall. :)
16:58	Dyrcona	I guess my first attempt at configuring it didn't have the program name filter correct, and my second attempt had the wrong level.
16:59	Dyrcona	I wonder if it works if I move it to the bottom of the file?
17:00	pinesol_green	News from qatests: Test Success <http://testing.evergreen-ils.org/~live>
17:00	Dyrcona	Yes, apparently, so that wasn't my problem before.
17:00	Dyrcona	Anyway, enough about that.
22:07	dbs	@later tell kenstir https://example.org/opac/extras/supercat/retrieve/marcxml-full/record/907278 to get the MARCXML + holdings + URIs for record 907278, per https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=backend-devel:supercat:examples
22:07	pinesol_green	dbs: The operation succeeded.
