    Description

    We're an Ex-Libris-hosted site.  We see "find_code=WRD&request=test" searches from a 10.28.nn.nn IP address in our Aleph www_server logs every five minutes or so.  Why is this?  {They generate records in the z69 (OPAC event) table, which we use for OPAC statistics.}   

    Also, we see thousands of "Initialized from Address 10.29.nn.nn" messages in the sip2_server logs, oclc_server logs, and other server logs.  

     

    Resolution

    These monitoring transactions are produced by the Ex Libris hosting monitor/load balancer to confirm that the servers are up and functioning properly.  

    The www_server "request=test" transactions should be ignored -- and subtracted from any z69 OPAC statistics which you produce.

    v22 rep_change 2387/v23 rep_change 2091 allows for the possibility of preventing -- via an aleph_start IP_ADDRESS_NO_LOG parameter -- the "Initialized from Address 10.nn.nn.nn" messages from being written, but this these messages do no harm and such prevention is not normally necessary.
