Blew away my existing zmeventnotification.ini file and reran the install w/o issue. Edited to disable hooks. All works as I require now. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.

There's some version number I have to manually update? What document calls this out? (sorry if I missed; sometimes one's eyes start to bleed hoping around through reams of documentation)

I'd already updated to version 6.0 some time back and everything worked fine. Right around the time that 6.0.2(?) was released I stopped getting notifications. There's lots of warnings about having to upgrade to 6.0 because older versions are going to break, nothing seemed to indicate that 6.0.2 was...

That was the first thing I did (those steps). It populates fine. Nothing looks out of whack in the logs. It's really like my phone just won't receive the notifications, that it's got a setting that's blocking, but I don't have anything blocked that I can see: I have a few other apps that I allow; zm...

Yes, 6.0 (had installed and was running it for a while now). ZM is 1.34.20. Things were all working fine until I had that "encounter" with letsencrypt (the renewals messing up cert permissions), which you helped guide me toward a solution. Then I jumped into this subject's thread, in which you resol...

The monitor issue is cleared up (for sure) but now I am no longer getting event notifications. I've run through all the debug stuff per https://zmeventnotification.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/es_faq.html#troubleshooting-common-situations and everything looks as it should. According to my phone I...

SkippyDo, can you reliably replicate this every time? I've set up a test account with lorenjz on my android device and waiting for the situation to reproduce.

Yes.

Sent you my logs.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Will subscribe to this thread so I don't miss follow-ups!

Many thanks! That got me pointed in the right direction. More info on letsencrypt and cert renewals: https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#renewing-certificates Looks like I only need to create a simple script to change the owner on the newly created privkey file (to www-data) and locate the scrip...

I have this happen to me as well. I can repeat this via: Launch zmNinja with montage view -> All OK Background zmNinja (wipe off screen [or whatever that action is]) Launch zmNinja -> monitors all show "...." (and lots of flickering) If I clear API cache and exit and restart the monitors return. ALS...

Original installation makes note of permission issues with letsencrypt. I have found that permission issues pop back up every time that letsencrypt renewal occurs: zmeventnotification.pl exits with a permission denied error. Is there a way to resolve this w/o having to discover the issue and manuall...

Could you refresh my memory as to how to contact you directly?

I've never had to have the web user have super user permissions. ALL directories should be set to be owned by the web user and with group set to the main group of that user ID (install guides suggest to use "www-data" for both): the logger facility will automatically create the log files with the ne...

Correct, I did run wget on the ES (and ZM) server. Just seems, according to that error, that it's having issues resolving the hostname/IP. It's like the python scripts are calling some other library routines (than is wget). Well, that or the URL (and rest) is getting corrupted when handed off to som...

I think this is a server configuration issue and not an application configuration, application related to ZM/zmeventnotifcation. "getaddrinfo for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags):socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known" Per an answer given to/on https:...

Shouldn't the error show up with something different now that ZM_PORTAL is defined? Make sure file access permissions are correct for the web user you're running as. I was under the impression that using self-signed certs wasn't permissible (for, at least, getting notifications via FCM [maybe just p...
