Re: notify email recipient on error

when an error is encountered? Can you be more specific on what kind of error/where the error is supposed to be coming from? Im talking about an error that appears in the ZM log. Logcheck eventually sends me the entire log, 12 hours worth twice a day, but I was trying to get ZM (or something else ...

Re: Ubuntu 24.04 noble release

I had to turn off apparmor in Noble to get the PPA to work. Check your logs, see if apparmor is doing what it seems to do best, which is prevent things from happening.....even if you WANT them to happen.

Re: edit a monitor when ZM wont start?

Can you just put another drive in its place to get it started? I've had ZM start before when a drive was too full, can't say I've had an issue with a completely failed drive. Just wondering if that's the cause of ZM failing to start or if you have another issue... Yep, that was the problem. New ...

edit a monitor when ZM wont start?

I have had a drive fail. Several of my monitors were pointed at a storage path on that dead drive. Now of course, ZM wont start. How can I edit the monitors to point them to a working storage without ZM running?

Mysql help - DB corrupted?

But I cannot get mysql to start. I set [mysqld] innodb_force_recovery = 3 in /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d Here ...

Re: architecture request for advice

My current ZM has 12 monitors but I can only turn on about 8 before the current old server starts getting overloaded. Doing what? Just constant record, or? Mine are currently set to monitor and record on alert. The alerts come from PIRs outside of ZM. But just turning on all the monitors will drive ...
