What I have noticed (not sure if this is new to the version) is that the only background filter that is running is the "UpdateDiskSpace" filter.
I have a background filter that is supposed to purge older events "PurgeOlderThan1Days" that should run but does not seem to.
If I "List matches" from the filter screen it lists the matches correctly.
If I "Execute" from the filter screen it deletes matches correctly.
If I run if from command line using "zmfilter.pl --filter=PurgeOlderThan1Days it works perfectly, deleting events as required.
However, even after "saving" and checking "Run filter in background" and the filter showing the asterisk to indicate it's a background filter, it just doesn't seem to run.
Looking at /var/log/zm
it seems that this filter hasn't run since it was created... in fact only the "UpdateDiskSpace" - filter_id=2 seems to run:
Code: Select all
root@zoneminder:/var/log/zm# ls -alt | grep -i filter
