Hey so my ZM 1.36.12 runs great in all regards (fresh ubuntu server install, out of the box, no customizations.) But sometimes I want to "rewind" events of the last few minutes. I notice the Montage Preview for last hour is always approx 5+ minutes behind. What strategies do you folks use ...

thanks all fixed now, I think my machine was still stubbornly stuck in UTC which is a little in the future for me

Evening chaps... to avoid the errors in the log and to cover all bases: 1. I set the timezone of my computer using "timedatectl set-timezone " 2. I set the timezone in Options/System Timezone. 2. I set the timezone in /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini 3. I set the timezone in /etc/php/7.2/apache2/p...

Hey folks, deployed ZM to a new machine (36.11 with bionic, 16gb, SSD + 8tb HD) following the bog-standard process per the documentation...

If I go to Montage Review / 1 or 8 hours I get "no data found in range " message.

Any thoughts?

Hey thanks for that. I can now Pan Left about 11 days, which is very helpful! 8) Side note: I wonder if I am using the tool wrong still because if I try and use the date range picker (say 10 or 11 days earlier; through to present day) I get the 500 error. Ditto if I try Zoom out or All Events. Does ...

any suggestions, anyone?

any thoughts appreciated regarding memory settings (?), i really cannot go back more than a few days using "PAN" without 500 error. DItto for Zoom out

Everything is out-of-the-box ubuntu server and 36.11 (fresh install, not upgrade) SHould I go to .12?

hey I tried a variety of GB RAM values (rebooting as I went) but I still get the blank page/500 error after a few pans left or zooming out. What values do you use in your ini file? Also is there a way I can verify if ZM is struggling with memory? (I have 16gb) "All events" still always thr...

thanks... in the ini today I have this: ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (128MB) ; http://php.net/memory-limit memory_limit = -1 Not sure what -1 means (no limit?) but I will try fiddling with some different values. Not sure if this is an applicable question but what is a reasonable v...

Hey Folks, I have an entirely "out of the box" Ubuntu Bionic with 36.11 with no customizations or anything... all runs GREAT for weeks but if I try and pan left or zoom out past three days in Montage Review I get a blank white screen in my browser. I've 9 cameras (3-6fps) doing a mix of mo...

awesome thanks guys

thanks. And assuming a max of 2 weeks events for 10 cameras, 5fps (640 thru to 1080) running a mix of record and modect/mocord ... would a 128gb primary drive for ubuntu and database do the trick you think?

Hey folks - would ZM benefit running off an SSD? I currently offload the camera storage to separate internal HDDs today.

If I used a spare 128GB SSD would that be beneficial for Ubuntu server and the main ZM stuff, including the database etc?

Appreciate any thoughts!

thx Doug .... I no longer have that error in the log (I did # chown www-data /newhdd)

Hey Doug - it's a fresh install, just one camera for now. I wanted to verify that my new disk was working first. If it fails to work on my new location, would that mean it will revert back to "Default" storage? root@z:/#ls -l /newhdd total 16 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Dec 2 10:55 lost+f...
