Well, a bit of a snafu on my part. I wasn't actually executing the filter, I was just submitting. BUT, the Execute button is not enabled. This may very well be at the heart of the problem. I'm logging in a Guest and perhaps I don't have permissions set that allow me to execute? But, this doesn't ans...

Bump... This issues is driving me nuts. I am able to trigger an event. Logs show going in and out of alarm mode. No traces of zmfilter running at all. If I run the filter manually I can see the event I just triggered; but, there is NO attempt to invoke email. System shows that the zmfilter.pl proces...

da7, welcome to the club of the befuddled! What do you have for a ZM filter? Can you execute it directly and is it coming up with matches? (and I'm assuming that "Email details of all matches" is checked/enabled) I enabled debugging on zmfilter and I'm still not seeing anything that points...

Under the Troubleshooting tips ( http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/userguide/filterevents.html ): In the event that you see your new filter is working great when you try it out from the Web Console (using the Submit or Execute button) but does not seem to work when its running in background...

I have two filters: 1) My DetectionEmail; and, 2) The standard PurgeWhenFull* filter. My DetectionEmail filter is not set to run in the background (PurgeWhenFull" IS set to run in the background).

More investigation... The ONLY way that I can see for the filter to not be called is if the event's Emailed bit is being set to True/1 by default. Again, looking at the code segment that I posted above: if ( $Config{ZM_OPT_EMAIL} && $filter->{AutoEmail} ) Both of those should readily evaluat...

One interesting thing I see in the log output is that when notifications last worked the filter that was active at that time -"'_TempFilter1510941598"- is shown to be called, whereas now when an event is triggered there is no mention of the name of the filter that I currently am using (aft...

I probably should have excluded the error. That output contained all records returned from filtering for fmfilter from the logs; I didn't omit it because it shows that mail was being called at one point in time (17th). The file permissions on the config files are fine: 0644; ssmtp executable is set ...

montagdude, thanks for the pointer. I'll keep it in mind if I cannot resolve the standard stuff (which, since I'd had working, I figure SHOULD be resolvable). I've turned on all sorts of logging and absolutely no call is even being attempted. Looking at zmfilter.pl I see the following code segment a...

Thank you for the tip/advice to filter logs to zmfilter events! So... here's what I see (and just after forcing an alarm): 2017-11-22 11:08:14.201110 zmfilter 29852 INF Scanning for events zmfilter.pl 2017-11-21 12:35:14.424170 zmfilter 13712 INF Scanning for events zmfilter.pl 2017-11-20 11:45:32.0...

ZM: 1.30.4 OS: Debian 9 Network: WiFi interface directly on the WAN (IP dynamically assigned from ISP- DMZ of router/modem); using dns mapping via NoIP.com (all is good, though I sometimes have to update the IP when my ISP mucks with their gear); camera feeds are on a separate, local switch (all har...
