Hello to all,

Is there a way to purge all events?
Thanks a lot!

Hi there!
No way to delete all events?
I would like to not use 'rm' or MySQL manually.
The scripts / filters are not working (or not as expected...)

Thanks, Simon

One way is to create a filter to delete events older than one day.
Archive Status equal to Unarchived only and Start Date less than or equal to -1 day limit to first 1000 results only Delete all matches.

Did not try but -1 hour should work, too.

Still this will take time. Would not go over 1000 results as the filter should reload every 6 minutes.

Once you have pared events down you can delete the rest from console.

Hello,

Thanks for answer, but what do you mean "Once you have pared events down you can delete the rest from console." ?
Does the Filter delete only the Database and not loca files ?

Thanks!

No, the filter removes files and database records. By console I mean the Zoneminder console, view events, check the box and click delete.

Oh, thanks, so stupid, I was executing, but not selecting it and pressing delete.
I was thinking that the "Delete" was implicit in he execute.

Thanks for the support.
