Thank you for the response. Not being a competent Linux user I was not sure of how to work out if zmaudit.pl was running, I used HTOP and 'service --status-al' but saw no listing of zmaudit. (Retrospectively I suspect I would have been better using 'top' command). I executed the 'zmaudit.pl -f' comm...

I have noticed that following error being logged. Please can anyone advise what the problem is and what I should do to fix it. Thanks

zmaudit.pl appears to already be running at pid 1144. If not, please delete /run/zm/zmaudit.pid or use the --force command line option.

Please can anyone help and advise why my ZoneMinder installation increases its use of swap memory over time making the server and the application slow. I have summarised my installation details below. version 1.36.13 Installed memory 4GB 3 cameras 5 Monitors in total 3 monitors at 640 x 480 1 zone 1...

Thank you for the prompt reply and the answer to my question. Yes, I can see that the multiple directories are links to a single directory.

Please can anyone advise why my monitors appearing to be saving the same data in multiple directories? It looks like that each time I renamed the monitor a new directory was created with the new monitor name but then event data has been saved to the old and new directories. I have attached a screen ...

Thanks. I have inhibited the storage of JPEGs and the server has run for several days now without incident.

I have configured the monitors from scratch and haven't done anything with the camera settings. How do I check if I am storing JPEGs or doing unnecessary decoding?

Due to a disk failure I had to rebuild my ZoneMinder server. Since the rebuild the server fails everyday or so and displays several messages along the lines of: [xxxxxx.yyyyyy] Out of memory: Killed process zzzzz (zmc) total-vm:aaaaaaakB, anon-rss:bbbbbbbkB, file-rss:cccckB, shem-rss:dddddkB, UID:33...

Thank you for your reply. Please could you advise how I take a copy of the ZMdb and the Monitors table. Is it a case of copying files or is there a command or utility I need to use?

Can anyone advise if it is possible to take a backup of ZoneMinder from a server that is preventing ZoneMinder from working but Linux itself appears to be working OK. My server failed to restart after a power outage. Although I eventually got the server and Linux working OK it is still displaying er...

Sorry for not keeping up with the posts above and thanks for the comments. I have successfully got zmNinja working over the internet. The problem was with the port forwarding setup and not anything to do with ZM. I am using a Linksys Velop mesh and I hadn't quite got the Velop settings correct for t...

Thank you for the reply. As it appears to be working I also feel the the comment about not applying to 1.32 also meant and subsequent versions. I guess I will see if I run into any problems as I expand my usage of ZoneMinder. So far I've been impressed with its level of functionality and relative ea...

Please could I have some help with setting up zmNinja for access from the internet. I am new to ZoneMinder and zmNinja so please forgive me if I am making newbie mistakes. I have installed ZoneMinder on my Ubuntu server and have added a single camera which all appears to be working OK. The zmNinja d...

HI, Please could someone help and advise on an error I had during the installation process. I'm new to ZoneMinder and have installed it following the instructions described under the heading "Easy Way:Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)" (https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installationguide/ubu...
