Today we walk through a feature that has been around for a little while but neglected to get our attention when it first came out. Additional fields is a nice feature that allows admin to create new fields in certain areas instead of relying on note fields alone or repurposing other unused fields. We will look at what this feature can and cannot do at this time, and what we hope to see improved down the road. https://youtu.be/Mf9Gv_VbM_c Respectfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin

Diagnosing sudden increase in CPU usage (no images)
by Justin Dowswell 30 Apr '26

30 Apr '26

Hey everyone, Was hoping for some guidance on where to start diagnosing an increase of CPU, disk and network usage on our Koha instance. The culprit is seemingly plack (/etc/koha/plack.psgi) & the Koha perl API (usr/share/koha/api/v1/ app.pl). No changes were made, updates nor configuration, and according to our monitoring started on the 23/03. Have gone from sitting at around 0% CPU idle, to ~20% on the 23rd and now averaging around 70%. Any ideas on where to start? Thanks in advance, Justin Dowswell (he/him) Technology Coordinator Tenants' Union of NSW 02 8117 3721 tenants.org.au

Dost thou possess a trove of unruly patron data, wild and ungoverned? At times, the Batch Patron Modification tool may serve to tame such chaos. Yet oft, it proveth insufficient to the task, and something more is required. In such hours, the art of exporting and importing patron records, that they may be wrought upon by external means, doth offer welcome aid. This week, good George shall guide us, step by step, through the humble craft of exporting, shaping, and restoring patron information to its proper form. https://youtu.be/4tDRi-jy5jk Respectfully, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
