Purge When Full not Working

Post by krownos »

Purge When Full not working. I have it set to 95% and the disk fills to 100%. I see events being purged in the log files but it never deletes the files on the hard drive.

Is ZMAUDIT working and running, I think that the "Purge When Full" only removes the database entry, it's up to ZMAUDIT to notice that there are redundant files on the disk.

[Options/System/RUN_AUDIT - ticked?]

Also, what options have you got for "delay deleting until later" under config, there's an option that defers the actual deleting for later.

[Options/System/OPT_FAST_DELETE - unticked?] - delete only event db records for speed

Otherwise, not sure!

This did not correct my problem. I am getting no errors in any log system or zoneminder.

Is there any way to run that process by the command line.

I'm guessing that the "run in background" box didn't get ticked when you saved the filter. Check it out. Otherwise repair the database per wiki instructions
