Filter problem

[john_l_b]

On a system with 3 cameras, one 4 port board, and a 120 G HD, it fill up in about 4 to 5 days.
I used to be able to go to filters, select an even by camera, date & time and view.
I could also check all int the list and delete old images. It was slow to actually remove them.
So then I selected the option of auto-removing when the disk got within 95% of full.
That never worked!

But after that selection, I can no longer see the list of events regardles of how I set up filters.

I can get a list for individual cameras, but that does not offer the ability to delete older events.

How do I get the origional filters setup back again?

cd .../zm/events/1
rm event#1/*
rm event#2/*
rm event#3/*
rm event#4/*
rm event#5/*
rm event#6/*
etc.

rmdir *


This works but take a lot of manipulation, is extreamly slow, and very frustrating.
Also, I have to do it every 2 to 3 days before it stops saving new events at 100% usage on the disk. I'm working on a script file using sed to create a script file from the event/N llisting, but I have about 15 minutes a day to work with it.

No, the process in ZM to purge when the disk gets full does NOT work.

if you cant view your events then the filters wont be able to delete them
Is your db corrupt?
