Java class:org.dspace.health.Report
Configuration file:config/modules/healthcheck.cfg
Argument short and long formDescription

Send report to email (arg) address. Can be a property

resolvable by ConfigurationManager.getProperty(String),

 config file. Used to set a starting date for certain checks.

The value is relative to `now`. The default in config file is

for past 7 days. You may wish to set this value if running

the cronjobs on different than weekly basis.

Currently configured checks:

This section list checks and reports that are currently configured out of the box. See org.dspace.health.*Check for the respective classes. The list with brief description follows

  • General Information
    • Reports basic configuration info and sizes of various dir (assetstore, logs...)
  • Checksum
    • Verifies checksums of the bitstreams
  • Embargo items
    • Lists embargoed items and the lift dates (Note: This check is for Pre-3.0 type of embargo. If you aren't using the old embargo, you will get an error message about unknown SCHEMA you can safely ignore.)
  • Item summary
    • Information about Collections, Communities and items - sizes of collections, number of published/withdrawn/(in other stage) items
  • User summary
    • summary of epeople and groups
  • Log Analyser Check
    • goes through the logs and summarizes number of Exceptions/Warnings and other info 

       

Configuring the checks:

The PluginManager is used to load the classes that are configured in `config/modules/healthcheck.cfg` adding/removing a check means modifying that file. To create your own checks you need to extend the abstract class org.dspace.health.Check and provide an implementation of its run(org.dspace.health.ReportInfo) method.
