Hello,

I have ZM 1.2.4.11 running since 1 year without problems. Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop
Since few days it always "crashes" when I watch some records.
How can I check what is wrong?

Here the content of the logs:

I'm hitting the same problem. I haven't narrowed down how to reproduce it, but when it happens I can't login to the index.php page at all. If I restart apache it starts working again for a while.

I'm seeing the error 11's in the zmdc.log and seeing socket_sendto errors in the apache error logs.

I have the same problem as well, I am going to take a guess here and I think it has to do with the config times of the checks filter reload, filter exe and max restart as they are default 300 each and I notice that the audit check is 900 so every 3rd time around all the checks are happening at the same time. I notice the system becomes unavailable from around 30-40 mins before I can login again. I would like to schedule the times to run all at 3am. The only other thing I can think of is maybe the shared memory address may need to be changed. I am going to play with the numbers a bit more today and I will repost if I have success. If I am way out in left field on this one please let me know. I would like ZM to be available all hours of the day.
