ZoneMinder Forums

I was just wondering where unarchived events and archived events are stored on the hard drive. The reason I'd like to know is because I've been having trouble saving event filters in the ZoneMinder console so I'd just like to create a cron job that deletes unarchived events and keeps archived events at a certain time every month, if I can. Unless, somebody can help me figure out why filters aren't saving, that would be appreciated. Also, if you see a problem with creating a cron job instead, could you please tell me the reason it may not work?

Also, here's the link to the other topic about filtered events not saving.

Thanks!

Your location may vary, but I'm running ubuntu server and for me it's stored under /var/cache/zoneminder/events

another option is to use "locate events" in terminal to search for it.

Good luck!

Thanks, but are archived events stored in a different location?

No -- it's a database flag, no data is actually moved to "archive" the event.
