Re: Linked cameras sometimes not working

I no longer used linked monitors... they were too flakey. What I do now is I monitor the high res stream, but I tell Zoneminder it's low res. So, my camera is 1080P or more, in the Source settings I tell Zoneminder it's 640x360. Zoneminder automatically resizes and does detection on the low res ima...

Reolink Duo 2 PoE - Main Video

Howdy all! So I've been swapping the cameras at my dad's house away from the Q-SEE ones as they've started dying at an alarming rate. I purchased a couple Reolink RLC-520A cameras, firmware v3.1.0.801_22010701, and they work absolutely perfectly. Zero issues. I also purchased a Reolink Duo 2 PoE and...

zmNinja hangs on "loading" during normal refresh

Howdy all! I've been running a rock-solid ZM setup without any real issues (except one caused by HomeAssistant, which I've now disabled), until recently. Essentially, zmNinja runs fine for hours at a time, and then it will "hang" at a gray screen called that says "loading"... The...

Re: Linked cameras sometimes not working

That's correct. No links, no linked camera problems / easier to configure. Sounds simple, huh? There are two (3) reasons why not to use linked monitors: 1) Modect/nodect doesn't always detect events (main reason). 2) HDD space is not that expensive (use passthrough though) 3) Linked monitors can so...

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

I agree. Something tells me that we're the only ones keeping such metrics, and since it doesn't affect performance, people probably don't notice it.

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

Ha... I resorted to a cronjob that restarts the apache2 service everyday at 3am as well. Same effective result.

Re: Ever-increasing number of processes

Further digging points to the fact that it's DEFINITELY apache processes that continue to increase. I've tried limits.conf and also adding systemd variables to the apache2.service file. Neither results in either an indication that my values are being honored, or a fix to the problem. The process cou...

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

I just edited my post above... Looks like it might actually be working. It's related to the root user and the * domain. Going to monitor. Will report back. It only takes a few hours for the graph to trend noticeably upward.

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

Interesting... After a reboot, it seems as though my limits.conf file is being ignored... ulimit -a is showing the old values, not the new ones... Any pointers? EDIT: Might not actually be an issue... apparently when using * as the domain, the root user is unaffected, and currently, zoneminder runs ...

Re: many hanging zmu processes are not exiting, process leak

For my new settings, I've set nofile and nproc by times 10 and increased the memlock by about 1GB to the following values (for both soft and hard): new: - nofile 6553500 - memlock 5120000 - nproc 127680 Frank - This is very helpful. By any chance, do you know how to query what the values currently ...

Finally, after increasing the nofile and memlock values in my /etc/security/limits.conf the problems are not longer exists. After this change, everything works and even my load on the system is now way lower than before. Hey Frank. I'd like to investigate this for myself and see if it solves my pro...
