Thank you to everyone who replied, I appreciate you taking the time. I understand that this is not a Koha specific problem, I understand the solution is a sys admin responsibility and I understand that there is probably not a 'one size fits all' solution given the many different system configu

Hi, I don't think this can/must be fixed on Koha side. It's a sysadmin duty to take care of that. I would take a look at fail2ban to parse the web server access logs. But make sure not to block your X librarians using the same ip ;) On Wed, 26 Oct 2016 at 12:28 Pedro Amorim wrote: > I have teste

I have tested this and the stress caused on the server is very severe. It seems that for every request, a new zebra process is created and the server will only respond when the last one is finished. This ofc will result in time outs and eventually a crash in the server. This is a major critical is
