Zoneminder keeps using all memory, physical and swap
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2024 6:15 am
Hi guys,
I installed a server with Zoneminder 1.36. The server runs Debian 12. The server has 48 cores, 256 GB RAM and 256 Swap area. The disks on the server are SSD. It is a EX-130R server from Hetzner. I installed 70 hikvision cameras. Everything works fine, it is just that Zoneminder keeps using all the memory available, including the swap area. This is a cyclic behaviour, it takes Zoneminder about 30 minutes to deplete the available memory, then the server goes unresponsive for about 2 minutes and then the cyclic begin again.
I have other two EX-130R servers with the same configuration, that are completely stable. I have seen this behaviour in another test server that we were using.
Have anybody seen this kind of behaviour?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
