Solved

http://random.blows.net/fps-working-graph.png I scrapped my previous method in perl and decided to make a few assumptions about the logs always being in the same order. So here's what I did to get this running on Xymon. Placed a shell script in ~xymon/client/ext/ called fps.sh #!/bin/bash $BB $BBDI...

That's how I would have traditionally done this. But I'm afraid that if I do it that way I risk getting repeating values. Or missing a value. A constant tail should do the trick. Here's what I've come up with since I wrote the question: Install Perl-POE (from rpm or from cpan). Grab this perl code f...

RRDtool / Xymon / Hobbit script(s)

I'm attempting to watch and understand performance on my systems through graphing. Obviously load goes up when I'm capturing more frames (or other things). But my goal is to create a history and graph it. I can then match this history against CPU load, memory consumption, disk growth, etc. Does anyo...

Make sure to use latest version of cambozola, from here: http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/ You just replace the file with the file in your zm html folder. You sir are my hero. I thought I read about people having problems with updated cambozola.jar jars so I stayed away from them. But per...

When replaying events, an option (dropdown menu) will apear, (single event, all events, gapless events) the file is located in zoneminder folder, skins/classic/views and the file is event.php, the original array is like... $replayModes = array( 'single' => $SLANG['ReplaySingle'], 'all' => $SLANG['R...

I just have this nagging thought that the alarm function and recording to SD card on the camera might be one variable too many so have just turned that off to make sure (no idea whether this could interfere in some way) Gary It shouldn't impact the triggers (motion detection?) because that is simpl...

Repeating images might be another issue other than IE or Cambozola... this occurs when having one chip 2 or more channels on it... check the forums there's plenty of info on how to fix it... Are you referring to CCTV capture cards? In the most recent builds (that I'm making for other people now), i...

cambozola limitations (zoom, montage, & resize) [SOLVED]

I'm trying to make this easy for others to use. And as we all know the "others" tend to use IE as a browser and are scared of change. Obviously, cambozola is the key to streaming on IE. But when I use cambozola I come across 3 limitations. First. In Montage view, I get the same image repea...

Deep storage won't help, he is not suffering from 32000 subfolders limitation. He ran out of inodes. There isn't much you can do about it, default inode size nowdays is 256 bytes, and thats the minimum for ext4 (minimum for ext3 is 128 but not recommended). Reducing FPS and deleting old events freq...

Alternately backup your content on that filesystem and start over. But create your filesystem with less bytes per inode (giving you more inodes). For example, mkfs.ext3 -i 2048 /dev/sda2 I think the default is 8096 or higher. You can go down to as little as 512 byte inodes. And, I sort of recall, th...

i have the same problem. in don't know why. I've add cron job with apache restart but is not verry good solution. Though it's against my browser-religion, I find that using IE with the cambozola.jar gets around the lockups better than anything else. The only downside to cambozola.jar for me is that...

Re: Control problems on zoneminder not on LAN

Has anyone managed to make controls work through a remote camera? Or does anyone have any suggestions how to make this work from remote? As it frequently happens, if you leave me in a room alone with Zoneminder long enough I can fix/find the prob. So. I reinstalled. Not because of this but because ...

Re: ZM starts now

zm starts without error and I get a streaming video on the 1st camera. The other 7 cameras are either only flickering, black screen or even nothing. Because there is no response from anybody it seems I have to go the hard way myself to figure out how this is working. There are a lot of things that ...
