[support] dlandon - Zoneminder 1.36


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Zoneminder is running in a docker container within Unraid.

System specs:
M/B: ASRock Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. Version P2.50. Dated: 02/26/2018
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
HVM: Enabled
IOMMU: Enabled
Cache: 256 KiB, 1 MB, 6 MB
Memory: 16 GiB DDR4 (max. installable capacity 32 GiB)

I've set up an external trigger within Home Assistant to trigger recording in Zoneminder.
Basically, it changes the state of my monitor from 'monitor' to 'record'.

After testing, it works flawlessly, however, even when I manually change the state of my monitor back from 'record' to 'monitor', the event still has no end time, meaning that Zoneminder still thinks it's recording.

This still persists even if I stop the docker and start it again. Events are ONLY closed if I completely reboot Unraid.

What am I doing wrong? And how can I fix this?

Edit: I'm getting desperate. Nobody can tell me what the issue is or how to fix it. I will pay REAL MONEY to anyone who helps me fix this problem. I'm deadly serious. No other project I've worked on has made me feel this defeated.

I'm no expert on external triggers, but given that restarting the ZM docker DOESN'T fix the issue, and restarting the whole server DOES, which presumably restarts whatever is creating/starting the trigger, I would look more in depth at how/what is starting the trigger, it may not be 'stopping' appropriately or otherwise causing a conflict.  My 2 cents, other opinions are available.

That would make sense if (as I said) it wasn't ALSO doing it when I manually switch the camera from 'monitor' to 'record' and then back to 'monitor' again, with no external triggers involved, or even running.

This means external triggers are not the issue.

Any other ideas?

I encountered new problems upgrading ZM from 1.34 to 1.36 : events wouldn't record because of buffers issues (see settings in Source > Buffers) or they would start but then fill up RAM in seconds.
Turned out to be from my IP cameras which have a setting "Smart Codec" that had to be turned off to let ZM record correctly (to get iframes). source : https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=30481#p120107
Maybe check on your camera

The only options my camera has is H265 and H265+.
It's currently set on H265, and the iframe interval is 15, which is equal to my frame rate.

Any other ideas?

Hello,

I keep having the same issue with the SQL database.

I have deleted everything and started over from scratch 3 times and each time after a week of so Zoneminder fails to load and I get these warnings.

Please help.

When that happens go here and scroll down to the bottom and follow the instructions when you have a container failure.

Let me know if you can get it going using this method.

Seems to say the same thing as the ZM warnings and I have no clue what to do next....?

That's probably an issue with Zoneminder, and you should use the Zoneminder forum to get help.

I've added a section in the first post that will help with troubleshooting issues with the docker container failing to start.  Read the section 'Troubleshooting when the container fails' and give that a try.  Additional help is available on the Zoneminder forums.

So this is wild...

 

I had been running this for awhile without issues and I've had a non docker instance running on a dedicated machine before this. Zoneminder was writing to cache but it looks like mover had issues moving the files from cache to array. I turned off ZM and allowed mover to move everything and then set use cache : no. Maybe this issue has been since then but not certain.

 

2x Xeon 2630L V3 (7C+14T pinned to ZM)

40GB DDR4

3x 4TB SAS drives + Parity

1TB NVME Cache

 

All cameras (7) are configured for record only and total 3.5MB/s.

 

After an hour or 2 I go from about 6GB baseline RAM usage to 100% and the system binds up so hard that I can't even access the server's BMC to kill it and have to smother via the power button. It doesn't seem to happen gradually though either. At startup it's fine but seems like I leave for a few minutes and it's locked up. ZM Logs don't seem very helpful either.

HTOP offers the biggest clue. The last time every core was 100% utilized.

At one point I was able to get into the web interface long enough to see the Unraid log. Looks like it just freaked out because there was no useable RAM.

 

Any Suggestions?

You shouldn't put Zoneminder files where the mover will move them.  Stop Zoneminder, set the share to cache prefer, run the mover and the files will be moved from the array disks to the cache.  Edit Zonemnder and confirm you have shared memory 'SHM' set to 50%, verify your 'data' path is set properly for a valid and not defaulting to memory.  Restart Zoneminder.

That's what I did to move the Zoneminder share from cache to array, it's been running from the array since so this issue is while writing to array.

 

SHM in the config was still set as default 5G, I assume it should have just stopped at that point? Even at 5G the base usage was pretty low since I don't have much in regards to buffers while running in simple "record" mode.

The data path is set correctly, it is still writing to the Zonemidner share, just on the array now. I originally wondered if zoneminder was outpacing my disks somehow but the data rate is quite low, and I haven't seen any other indication of intermittent disk write issues.

 

Thanks,

You have a database problem.  A fresh install doesn't fix that unless you remove the docker container and the appdata/Zoneminder folder and start over.

Hey I all of a sudden had some problems with Zoneminder.  And I'm not really sure what happened.  I initially was having what seemed like mysql errors, so I updated and some stuff (I can't remember all the commands I did).  But now I'm getting this error:

Oct 27 00:56:50 f1281e6e5843 zmpkg[15761]: ERR [Error reconnecting to db: errstr:Unknown database 'zm' error val:]

 

Now the other strange thing is I have an orphan image in my docker list that is this database. It has this data to it:

Image ID: 733b124cdfef
dlandon/zoneminder:latest

 

And that ID is different than my ZM container ID. I have an image but I'm struggling with being able to post it.

 

Is there a way to re-associate this image to the Zoneminder docker?

Remove both containers and reinstall Zoneminder and see if it clears up.

For the orphan image, it's deleting the image, should I also delete the image for zoneminder? Will I lose all of my settings?

Yes.  Delete both.  You won't lose any settings.  They are in the appdata/Zoneminder folder that doesn't get deleted.

Unfortunately I'm still getting an unknown database. It should be there, I just feel like it's not pointing in the right direction

Look at the first post about changing databases and be sure you have the default settings as shown on he first post.

You have a database problem.  A fresh install doesn't fix that unless you remove the docker container and the appdata/Zoneminder folder and start over.

This is quit anoying, two updates in a road to redo everything gain, there is nothing to do to fix it automatically, or at last to retain the most important settings like camera settings and other manual settings and the database to be reset automatically?

 

Or provide a script to reset only the database and let the manual settings untouched, most people don't want to have these issues, and mostly, more probably at every update 😔

 

Or at last to warning that the update can broke the database and everything will need to be setup again.
