12:33 Bmagic I'm troubleshooting a database issue. explain analyze on an insert into biblio.record_entry results in 6+ seconds. The analyze shows me that it spends the majority of the time in reporter.simple_rec_trigger(). Which is odd, because if it's an INSERT, it should just skip down to RETURN. Weird right?
12:33 Dyrcona Bmagic: No. It still builds the rmsr entry.
12:34 Dyrcona Wait until you update an authority with hundreds of bibs "attached." :)
12:35 Bmagic this is EG 3.11.1 with queued ingest. I updated the global flag to turn off queued ingest, and tested it. and visa versa. it's 13 seconds for an insert with it turned off, and 6 seconds with it turned on. But still, 6 seconds seems insane for an insert on biblio.record_entry, especially if we're deferring all of the metabib stuff for the ingester process to come later
12:35 Dyrcona Updating/inserting bibs and auths can be slow because of all the triggers.
12:36 Bmagic I got here because it's breaking the course reserves interface. Taking too long
12:37 * Dyrcona colour me unsurprised.
16:38 Bmagic Maybe I can change PG configuration to eliminate the secondary DB to prove it has something to do with that (or not)
16:38 Dyrcona Nope. None of them checked in.
16:40 Dyrcona Bmagic: Could be. I often have queries fail on the secondary DB, 'cause changed rows from replication are needed. I know that's not your issue, but you shouldn't be inserting into a replicated db, so I'm not sure what you're checking.
16:40 Bmagic This is my test query: explain analyze select * from reporter.old_super_simple_record where id=671579
16:41 Bmagic 6+ seconds on db1. and less than one second on db2
16:42 Dyrcona OK. Das stimmt.
16:43 Dyrcona Hm... I need to find the circulations. The copies are all Lost status.... They're also deleted, and I thought using the copy_id would resolve the latter.

10:03 Dyrcona This could be a case where joins are slower than subqueries for .... reasons.
10:04 Dyrcona It could also be completely different on a newer Pg release.
10:04 Stompro I started using NYTProf now, it is much heavier weight, but the output much more detailed.  https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::NYTProf
10:08 Stompro Devel::Profile is much faster for quickly seeing results.  NYTProf generates a 2G output file in my testing that then has to be processed into an HTML report.
10:08 Dyrcona I think I'll go for fiaster/lighter weight. I'll read the docs.
10:09 Dyrcona My code to log subroutine names with timestamps as they're called produces a largeish output and is likely less accurate since it spends time generating timestamps and printing them.
10:10 Stompro All I had to do was run marc_export with "perl -d:Profile ./marc_export_testing" and it generates the profile log prof.out
10:10 Dyrcona I'll make a patch and throw it on the LP.
10:11 Dyrcona I mean a patch for my logging code.
10:11 Dyrcona So, you think we should just switch from insert_grouped_field to insert_field?
10:13 Stompro I put a diff of the changes I was testing with at https://gitlab.com/LARL/everg​reen-larl/-/snippets/3615366
10:14 Stompro Put all the 852s in an array, then once they are all added, call insert_grouped_field for the first one to get the same ordering, and use insert_fields_after for the rest with one call.
10:18 Dyrcona Stompro: There's a simpler way to do the insert: push the fields to an array, then do the first one with shift and the rest of the array after that.
10:19 Stompro I figured, my perl array skills need work. :-)
10:20 Dyrcona I wonder if the first one even needs to be grouped?
10:20 Dyrcona I'm going to look at MARC::Record again.
10:21 Dyrcona Stompro++ # For the notes in the snippets.
10:21 Stompro In my test data, the 901 tag would be placed before the 852 without using the insert_grouped_field for the first.
10:23 Stompro I don't think MARC::Record re-orders the fields.
10:24 Stompro If I'm understanding where you are going with that.
10:33 Dyrcona OK. LoC says the records are supposed to be grouped by hundreds, they don't have to be in order.
10:41 briank joined #evergreen
10:44 Dyrcona Oh! That patch I threw on Lp is missing a local change to format the microsecond timestamps to %06d.....
10:53 Dyrcona Heh. This branch is a mess....
10:54 Dyrcona So, I was testing with a dump of 1 library's records. It took about 1 hour 4 minutes to run. I'll make a change based on Stompro's bug description and see what happens.
11:06 Dyrcona OK. Here goes....
11:11 Stompro Dyrcona, does this library have some of the bibs with large numbers of copies?
11:20 Dyrcona I don't know. I doubt it. It doesn't seem to have made much difference so far. I'll try a larger library or the whole consortium next.
11:20 Dyrcona It's one we do a weekly export for, so that's why I chose it to test.
11:28 Dyrcona It does use slightly less (~3%) CPU
11:30 Stompro In my testing, with our production data it had only a slight improvement.  But it really improved the run that was stacked with bibs with lots of copies.
11:36 Stompro acps_for_bre needs to be reworked to improve the --items performance in general.  Maybe the first call just pulls in all call numbers and copies and caches them in a hash...
11:37 Stompro Or go with the rust version that is already better :-)
11:43 Dyrcona When I ran the queries through EXPLAIN ANALYZE, none of them were particularly slow. The slowest was the acp_for_bres query. On one particular record, it spent 40ms on a seq scan of copy.cp_cn_idx. I'm not sure how to improve a seq scan on an index, unless it can be coerced to a heap scan somehow.

13:02 Dyrcona I am testing this now: time marc_export --all -e UTF-8 --items > all.mrc 2>all.err
13:14 Dyrcona The Rust marc export does batching of the queries by adding limit and offset. I wonder if we should do the same? I've noticed that the CPU usage goes up over time, which implies that something is struggling through the records. The memory use stays mostly constant once all of the records are retrieved from the database.
13:20 Stompro Dyrcona, if you use gnu time, it gets you max memory usage also.  /usr/bin/time -v... so you don't have to check that separately.
13:25 Stompro Dyrcona, I'm surprised the execution time increased for you... hmm.
14:00 csharp_ berick: after installing the default concerto set, notes work - everything is speedy under redis - no errors yet
14:07 sleary joined #evergreen
14:16 berick csharp_: woohoo
14:35 Dyrcona I've been testing Redis with production data, but not much lately. I need to write an email to ask the relevant staff here if they'd like me to update the dev/training server to use Redis on the backend.
14:37 Dyrcona Current calculation puts it at only 20% faster, i.e. -1 day.
14:38 Dyrcona I'm going to add a --batch-size option. If it is specified the main query will retrieve that number of records per request. I don't know if I'll get that implemented today.
14:51 Dyrcona Looks like adding tags isn't my bottleneck My current estimate is minimal difference in performance. I'm going to let this run over the weekend to see if I'm wrong. On Monday, I'll add a batching/paging option to the main query and see if that helps.

09:27 Dyrcona berick: I'm going to do some more research on Rust and look into adding a debug option to the Rust marc-esport.rs. I'd like to log the queries it runs, because it looks like the main query ran for 5 secs each time it was called on my produciton db the other day. I want to get the whole thing to run through explain analyze. It gets truncated in the postgres logs.
09:37 Dyrcona Rogan left. I wanted to ask him about some queries he wrote, i.e. why he used subqueries instead of join in some places. Is it because the subqueries were faster or was that just how it came to him? I have seen subqueries be faster than joins in some cases, but not always.
09:38 Dyrcona I suppose I could test it on my data and adjust if appropriate. It often depends on indexes and number of rows.

09:08 Dyrcona berick: I did `cargo build --release --package evergreen` then copied eg-marc-export to /openils/bin/. I missed the password on of the two lines for eg-marc-export in my script, so I don't know if it is faster, but the binary is certainly smaller without the debugging symbols, etc.

11:02 Dyrcona csharp_: Thanks. I felt like I'm going crazy because others have said it's not that slow. It was taking 5 days to the same export as I mentioned above.

11:21 Dyrcona kmlussier: Yeah, I think Rust is more efficient than Perl, at least in my situation. I'm doing a test in produciton this evening.

15:40 JBoyer Sometimes a forest fire is responsible forest management! :p
15:43 jeff okay, about to bug this unless it rings a bell for someone and they point out it's already got a bug: Angular MARC editor stashes field data in current_tag_table_marc21_biblio in a format that's just different enough to break context menus for the AngularJS MARC editor (which you may encounter in at least the Z39.50 Edit then Import interface).
15:44 jeff for the Angular MARC editor, the way it creates the local data structure results in an array with element 100 being tag 100, etc. The older AngularJS MARC editor created an object with key 100, not array index 100, etc.
15:45 jeff and of course, it's technically the tagtable service (old and new) that are doing this, not the "MARC editor"...
15:47 jeff looks like it affects 3.10 and 3.11 at least, haven't tested main or looked too closely to see if the Z39.50 Edit then Import has moved to Angular yet.
15:52 jeff steps to reproduce: clear (at least) current_tag_table_marc21_biblio from localStorage, then open the Angular MARC editor followed by Edit then Create from a Z39.50 search (which uses the older AngularJS MARC editor), and try to open the context menu on a tag value (other than the leader).
15:52 jeff If you do the reverse, it works okay (the newer editor can tolerate the data in both formats, possibly by design, possibly by happenstance).
15:53 jeff (or happy accident?) :shrug: :-)
16:16 sleary Z39.50 in Angular and a revised MARC editor that relies less on context menus are both under construction now
16:19 jeff the latter is bug 2006969, I think.

11:00 Dyrcona berick: I don't know what the size of the file was at 143,000 records. The final file is 15GB with 2,251,864 bib records and 7,775,264 items. It took 18.3 hours to complete on my test system.
11:00 Dyrcona berick++
11:04 Dyrcona Hmm. I guess that export running on production explains the "processor load too high on utility server emails." It keeps 1 CPU busy all the time, and there are only 8 cpus. Load was 11.5 when I just checked.
11:04 Dyrcona Bmagic: I'm installing Rust on the CW MARS utility server today.
14:53 Dyrcona Currently, it's actually returning acn.record, bre.marc, and the count on acp.id.
14:56 Dyrcona Dude..... I just noticed the file ends with two semicolons.....I'll bet that's it.

15:11 Dyrcona Now, I'm cooking with gas. I got the "large" bibs file (85 records with 87,296 items) dumped to XML in under a minute. That took almost 2 hours with the Perl program the other day.
15:18 Dyrcona Using  query-file to feed the eg-marc-export, it is using a lot more RAM than before, about the same as the Perl export was using. It still uses less CPU. We'll see if that changes over time.

15:58 Dyrcona Stompro: I don't remember, but there is something that does.
15:59 Stompro I'm so used to only our utility server sending out email...
16:01 Dyrcona Stompro: I think that's bug worthy if that's the case.
16:02 Stompro I think I've been under the incorrect impression that action_trigger_runner had to be called to send email....
16:07 Dyrcona I could be wrong, but I swear I remember there being something that required the app servers to send email. Test emails and SMS go through action trigger.
16:08 berick Stompro: open-ils.actor.event.test_notification ?  looks like that fires the A/T event in real time from whatever server the API is called at.
16:08 berick it doesn't wait for a_t_runner

16:14 Stompro There probably is no reason it couldn't be on the app servers also.
16:16 Dyrcona Stompro: I think a setting could be added to make the test notification API NOT fire the event, just leave it pending, then the pending a/t runner could pick it up, or it could be given the same granularity and the password reset emails.
16:16 Dyrcona It would require development, of course.
16:16 Stompro I was just stumped when I looked at the event def 155 entries and saw that they were processed 1 second after they were created.

10:41 mmorgan YW!
10:43 Stompro Dyrcona, I was conversing with Brian about his marc_export issues.  And I did a test export or our DB.  200K bibs took 5 minutes, used 1.2GB of RAM, and created a 1GB uncompressed xml file, which compressed to 115MB.
10:43 Dyrcona user_ingest_name_keywords_tgr BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON actor.usr FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE actor.user_ingest_name_keywords() <- I think that should maybe be an AFTER, but I'll play with it.
10:45 Stompro That was without items... I should try it again with items.
10:45 Dyrcona Stompro: I still have to do this in production, but it has always taken longer than that. Are you feeding IDs to marc_export, and what marc_export options are you using?
10:48 briank joined #evergreen
10:49 Dyrcona Also, I realize my comment about the user_ingest_name_keywords_tgr needing to be AFTER is bogus. I pulled an extra couple of fields in my query and discovered why I was seeing what I thought was anomalous.
10:50 kworstell_isl joined #evergreen
10:51 Dyrcona Some test accounts have weird names. :)
10:52 Dyrcona The problem could be the extra query to grab item data combined with the massive amount of data.
10:54 Stompro Dyrcona, --items didn't change the memory usage, still 1.2G for 194432 bibs.. run time seems longer.. I'll report back when done.
10:56 Dyrcona I think running that select for items in a loop is the real issue. I should refactor this to grab the items at the time the query runs. That complicates the main loop though.
11:13 Dyrcona I estimate it will export about 1.78 million records.
11:14 Stompro Dyrcona, Nevermind about the cpu usage, that was me seeing the 9% memory used by mistake.
11:15 Stompro Using your method I see 67%cpu
11:16 Dyrcona I'm going to try smaller batches in production starting this afternoon to see if it helps. I may or may not stop the one running on a test vm. Maybe it is time to refactor export to speed things up?

14:54 Dyrcona Doing batches does not appear to have improved performance. If anything, it seems worse, but maybe my dev database is faster than production.
15:11 berick ./eg-marc-export --items --to-xml --out-file /tmp/recs.xml # --help also works / other options to limit the data set
15:12 Dyrcona berick++ I'll give it a look.
15:12 berick Dyrcona++
15:21 jeffdavis Interesting performance problem on our test servers - the Items Out tab is very slow to load. Looks like the call to open-ils.pcrud.search.circ is consistently taking 6.5 seconds per item for some reason.
15:21 berick oof
15:22 jeff do the items in question have extremely high circulation counts?
15:23 jeff we have a test item that gets checked in and out multiple times a day via SIP2 for a Nagios/Zabbix style check.
15:23 jeff I once made the mistake of using that same item to test something unrelated, and it took consistently 6 seconds or more to retrieve in item status.
15:24 jeffdavis No, these are just randomly selected items - the one I checked has 8 total circs.
15:24 jeff (It may not apply in this case. I don't think the pcrud search is going to be trying to get a total circ count for the items.)
15:24 jeff ah, drat.
15:25 jeffdavis Our production environment is not affected, but a test server running the same version of Evergreen (3.9) is, as is a different test server running 3.11.
15:25 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
15:28 Stompro jeffdavis, are they all on the same Postgres version?
15:29 jeffdavis Yes, all PG14. The test servers all share the same Postgres server, my guess is that's where the issue lies but not sure what the mechanism would be.
15:30 Dyrcona jeffdavis: You have all of the latest patches for Pg installed?
15:30 Dyrcona Meaning Evergreen patches.
15:32 jeffdavis The affected servers are either 3.9.1-ish or 3.11.1-ish with some additional backports -- not fully up to date but pretty close. Are there specific recent patches you're thinking of?
15:51 berick IOW, evergreen-universe-rs does a variety of stuff, but when it talks to EG, it assumes Redis is the communication layer
15:51 berick ah, no, redis required for those actions

15:56 Dyrcona If I'm going to start messing with Rust, I guess I should dust off the VM where I tested the RedisRF branches.
15:56 berick muahaha i have successfully distracted you :)
15:57 Dyrcona :)
16:01 Dyrcona If the Rust export is faster, then I won't consider it a distraction. :)

11:05 Dyrcona It might need more patches than just that one.... I'll leave it for now.
11:14 kmlussier joined #evergreen
11:18 Dyrcona So, going back to yesterday's conversation about MARC export, I wonder if that commit really was the problem. I reverted that one and two others, then started a new export. It has been running for almost 21 hours and only exported about 340,000 records. I estimate it should export about 1.7 million.
11:20 Dyrcona At that rate, it will still take roughly 5 days to export them all. This is one a test system, but it's an old production database server and it's "configured." The hardware is no slouch. I guess I will have to dump queries and run them through EXPLAIN.
11:28 Dyrcona Y'know what. I think I'll stop this export, back out the entire feature and go again.
11:29 jeff if it's similar behavior as yesterday and most of the resource usage appears to be marc_export using CPU, I'd suspect inefficiency in the MARC record manipulation or in dealing with the relatively large amount of data in memory from the use of fetchall_ on such a large dataset.
11:29 jeff even if it's not swapping, dealing with that large a data structure might be giving Perl / DBI a challenge.
11:30 jeff (both of those are just guesses, though. I don't have time this week to experiment to test the theories.) :-)
11:30 Dyrcona jeff: That might be it. Maybe it's actually the other patch that I pushed yesterday to manipulate the 852?
11:30 jeff I like your idea of next step, though. Especially if you've exported a set this large before without issue.
11:31 Dyrcona Well, "without issue" is up for debate....

12:07 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:08 Dyrcona We're on 3.7, and I think it stores fleshed JSON objects. The Angular client looks like it only stores stat cat ids.
12:08 jeff I may resort to empirical testing. Copy affected JSON to a 3.10 system and re-test there. :-)
12:08 Dyrcona I didn't make a not of the line numbers. I didn't think I'd want to look at it again.
12:09 Dyrcona On 3.7, it looks like it includes everything in the template including alerts. I seem to recall in master, it ONLY looks at stat cats an only puts in the ID. This may come up again on Friday, so I think I'll have another look.
12:14 Dyrcona I should have made notes.
12:40 jihpringle the new alert messages have also caused some funky template issues - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2022349

13:34 jeff I tested one of the "statcats":{"24":-1} templates on a 3.10 system and while it did set the stat cat in question to "unset" (likely the original template's intent/origin), it did so in a way that was successful, and allowed the item to be saved. On 3.7, the behavior was that the stat cat was invalid and failed to save.
13:36 jeff eby: saw that ("pg_bm25: Elastic-Quality Full Text Search Inside Postgres"). Also saw some comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37809126 from a few days ago that I bookmarked for later.

10:17 jeff That's what, 3.2 records per second? That seems exceptionally slow. Any ideas/suspects, or are you just noticing and looking into it?
10:22 jeff 5.9 kb average record size seems reasonable, especially with holdings data added. Our non-deleted bibs (excluding a bunch of deleted stubby ILL bibs) are about 4.5 kb on average.
10:23 jeff anyway, if you had something looping or some kind of unintentionally additive loop/array, i'd expect you'd have a lot more than 7.7 GB of output.
10:26 Dyrcona jeff: I'm not really looking into it. I'm testing some patches on a test system, and also doing a test run for a big Aspen export. I thought I'd just run marc_export like this and time it: /usr/bin/perl /openils/bin/marc_export --all --items --exclude-hidden --852b circ_lib --format XML
10:27 Dyrcona `ps -o etime 24586` said 4-19:00:01 just a few seconds ago.
10:28 Dyrcona I'm running it with time, but was curious how long it has been going so far.
10:29 Dyrcona Adding --items seems to really slow it down on this setup.
10:50 Dyrcona I'd like to run it through explain. It's probably the queries to grab item information to add to the MARC, so I'll have to dump an example of that, too.
10:52 Dyrcona Guess I will be looking into it later.... *sigh*
10:52 jeff or tweak log_min_duration_statement just long enough to capture some sample queries. depends on how otherwise loaded your db server is, if this is prod.
10:56 Dyrcona This is a test system that hosts multiple databases, but this is the only instance currently doing anything.
10:56 jeff ah, that makes many things easier.
10:56 Dyrcona I wonder if the number of page faults in marc_export matters....
10:57 jeff if you're trying to hold that whole resultset in memory... I haven't looked at how marc_export does paging, if at all.
11:03 Dyrcona It's using 98.2% CPU, which nothing because the VM is configured with 16. The hardware has 32 with HTT enabled.
11:03 Dyrcona It's not running on the same server as the DB either.
11:06 Dyrcona I'll have to do some investigation to see where the problem lies. Maybe I can get some improvements for everyone out of this.
11:20 Dyrcona jeff++ # I may just crank the logging up for a test run later. I suspect this one will finish sometime later today, but I also thought that it would have done by yesterday to start with.
11:24 Dyrcona FWIW, I'm dumping XML because it's "easier" to work with than binary MARC, but when a file is about 8GB in size, the format doesn't really matter any longer, does it? :)

15:19 sandbergja Ooh, This came up in the newdevs group!  Especially from sleary, so please jump in if I get something wrong :-)
15:19 Bmagic mmorgan++ # thanks for doing the stats! it's nice to see them like that
15:20 sandbergja the idea was to reduce some of the maintenance burden of the nightwatch tests by making it clear when a particular UI has some nightwatch tests that exercise it
15:20 sandbergja And one easy way to do that is to just house them in the same directories
15:20 sandbergja like we already do with the unit tests
15:20 sleary ah yes! I am 100% on board with doing more Nightwatch tests, but (as I am also rearranging our markup on a daily basis) I want to make sure it's easy to find the test that corresponds to the file you're looking at

15:22 berick just as an example
15:22 sleary sandbergja: it's relatively easy to change the command to run all the tests from a directory to a filename pattern, right?
15:22 terranm It will also be easier to see if there are things that should have Nightwatch tests that do not
15:22 Bmagic I'm all about file folder organization, and it makes sense to me to have related things together.
15:23 shulabear +1 to having tests in the same directory as the code being tested

09:52 Dyrcona s/like/prefer/
09:53 Dyrcona But that if is more complicated with an "and" or "or" as well...

09:13 Dyrcona Huh... It took about 8 hours to get through 27,500 autorenew events in my test last night. The test environment is configured like production, except I bumped the parallel settings for events up to 6 from 3.
09:14 Bmagic autorenew is slow
09:14 Dyrcona Some events got stuck.
09:14 Dyrcona Yeah, I know. I think it could be faster if it wasn't done via action trigger. There'd be less overhead.

09:32 Dyrcona Today's test is going better than yesterday's. It is still chugging away at the events, and I apparently have not run out of drones.
09:34 Dyrcona I'm using our production server's configuration for this test.
09:35 Dyrcona Modulo the database connection parameters, etc., of course.
09:36 Stompro Morning all, I'm looking into cleaning up our /openils/var/web/reporter data this morning.  Every report generated since we migrated in 2015 exists in there.  Is there an existing evergreen method for purging those?
09:47 Stompro Bug 1835317 talks about adding a retention interval to report output.
12:12 Dyrcona Is the editor always_xact?
12:12 Dyrcona Oh, never mind. It is.
12:12 Dyrcona :P
12:13 Dyrcona I'm having one of those days. I have to rerun a test of marc_export because I overwrote one of the output files with the data that I wanted to compare it to.
12:15 berick Bmagic: but also... working code wins, so don't let me mood derail everything ;)  feeling ranty this a.m.
12:16 berick also, apparently, talking like a pirate
12:17 Bmagic berick: I think I agree that the API shouldn't crash
12:31 berick Bmagic: that means those try/catch'es do nothing.  that crash is happening in a whole different OS process
12:32 berick (the api should also be fixed, of course, but on the topic of try/catching...)
12:32 Bmagic we'll dig
13:01 Dyrcona My other test turns out to have a bad template...
13:07 Dyrcona Ah, found it. Though the error message didn't really help.... It complained about an unexpected token (END) when it looks like the problem was an extra %] higher up.

14:29 Stompro Great... testing EDI is fun.  Just sent in an order because "edi_pusher.pl --debug-only=1" is not the correct format for that flag, so it just runs like normal.
14:30 jeffdavis :(
14:35 Stompro I guess I'll get to see what happens when PO and line item id numbers get reused does to the B&T system and to our system if they send us a response message.
14:37 Stompro The test seems to be showing that EDI generates the same message on 3.11.1, with Ruby 3.1 and the Ruby EDI translator on Debian 12 as it did on our old system.

09:15 Dyrcona So, the action_trigger_runner blew up processing the modified autorenew events in my test last night. There were 55,706 of them.
09:17 Dyrcona Most of the events last night (i.e. all of the events that run) are collected or collecting. Only a few event completed. There was nothing else going on in the database, only this one vm running this test, so it's easy to overwhelm action trigger.
09:19 Dyrcona Time for some spelunking in the logs.
09:21 Bmagic why is authority_control_fields.pl so expensive?
09:21 Dyrcona The open-ils.trgger stderr log has a new one on me: Caught error from 'run' method: Unable to update event state at /usr/local/share/perl/5.34.0/Open​ILS/Application/Trigger/Event.pm line 247. That might have something to do with a not connected to the network message a few errors higher up. Too bad the stderr log lacks timestamps.
09:51 Dyrcona Yeah, but I've got 4 total certs for the chain file.
09:56 Dyrcona I suppose I can figure it out by inspecting the certs. Our cert goes first, then I think they go in order from the one that sigend our cert down to the root.
09:57 Dyrcona And, I can omit the self-signed root authority assuming that the recipient has it anyway.
10:01 Dyrcona Right. Easy-peasy... Now to test it.
10:06 jeff for intermediate certs, apache (starting with 2.4.8) is leaf-to-root, nginx needs the leaf to be first but may tolerate a different order on the others (but why complicate things -- leaf-to-root works here too). pound uses leaf to root followed by the private key in the same PEM file. in most cases (with the possible exclusion of some weird cross-signing), the self-signed actual root cert found in the
10:06 jeff browser's trust store doesn't need to be included in the file or sent.
10:07 jeff exim and dovecot and friends i usually look in the docs, or follow whatever my deployment scripts or existing files contain. :-)
10:07 Dyrcona exim and dovecot work with whatever certbot does. I can say that. Oh, so does Apache 2.4.
10:08 jeff happily, with intermediates being more or less a fact of life now, you rarely have to go digging in the source or rely on empirical test-and-hope techniques... since they're so common, they're much more well-documented now. :-)
10:08 Dyrcona This one is just nginx an apache, and I'm getting a gateway timeout.
10:08 jeff I am happy to keep certbot far, far away from as many systems as possible.
10:08 Dyrcona Well, the RFC also specifies the order, and most software follows the RFC.

10:55 Dyrcona Y'know. I'm starting to suspect that the 500 Ineternal Sever Error was caused by the backlog. It wasn't just open-ils.trigger that was overloaded.
10:56 Dyrcona Yeah. It's fine now that I've restarted services.
10:57 Dyrcona So, my test failed successfully. I now know that I need to increase resources before trying this again. :)

14:53 Stompro Does the vendor (B&T) know what attributes they want if I ask them?
14:55 jihpringle Stompro: maybe email the acq list?  based on the last time we talked about EDI Attributes in the acq interest group very few libraries/consortia have made the switch
14:56 Dyrcona We've switched but I don't know the details about the attributes. That would be someone else here who doesn't hang out in IRC.
14:57 Stompro Thanks, I think I have the Ruby translator installed on Debian 12, but I don't know how to test it out.  So I was looking at the new generator also.
14:58 Dyrcona We haven't used the Ruby code in a couple of years.
14:59 mantis1 We had a problem with the loader before
14:59 mantis1 turned out it was because we didn't upgrade Ruby
15:03 Stompro I guess if I don't run the order pusher, and just the A/T I can see if the EDI message gets generated.

15:10 Dyrcona We've had fun with that and new versions of Ruby in the past. I'll be glad to see it go.
16:11 Dyrcona I'm going to start another test run of action triggers on a vm with 32GB of RAM and 16 cores. (It has double the number of cores over production.) Should I double the parallel values for action trigger from 3 to 6 for collectors and reactors?
16:15 Dyrcona All right, I will double the values. We'll see how this goes tomorrow.

10:03 Dyrcona I think I found it! Looks like it is from Wednesday afternoon.
10:05 Dyrcona There are also 2 others: 1 from 2016 and 1 from 2017.... Guess they've worked those out somehow....
10:06 Dyrcona Oh! The one from 2016 looks like a test. At least it uses our 'CWTEST' pattern in the name.
10:13 Dyrcona Incidentally, the one from 2017 is for the same agency as the one from Wednesday.
10:19 Dyrcona I wonder if we could move the san to an org_unit setting rather than being a field on the address, and failing that, could we modify the drop down to not allow ous that have a null mailing address?

I tried replacing our 2-day courtesy notices with a combined template for autorenewals on the "bad" vm last night, and it choked on 62,321 notices.I'll have to dig into the logs, but the a/t runner isn't running and its stuck with 52000+ "collected" events.

14:19 * jeff reviews the comments to see where the "why not use locations for that?" discussion went
14:20 * Dyrcona doesn't want to get into it. That horse has been talked to death.
14:26 Dyrcona All of that being said, I like the idea of the flag on the status to show up on holds. It eliminates the "magic" status of some statuses and makes it obvious.
14:27 Dyrcona Very often good ideas get shot down or delayed because the discussion gets bogged down in unnecessary detail.....
14:27 * Dyrcona trips off the soapbox he didn't intend to stand on.
14:39 Dyrcona mantis2: If you're going to test that, it would be helpful if you could assign the bug to yourself in Launchpad.
14:41 jeffdavis Upshot of the status vs location discussion seems to be "use status for items that should revert to Available on checkin, otherwise use locations"?
14:52 mmorgan At the risk of tripping over Dyrcona's soapbox, it's the fluidity of the status that's appealing vs. the rigidity of the location. My observation, anyway.
14:55 Dyrcona So, I figured out why one of my cron jobs was failing. It was trying to talk a database server that doesn't exist. Turns out I was also clever enough to implement the cron job so that if I set PGHOST and PGDATABASE in the crontab it should be fixed.
