ZoneMinder Forums

CONTEXT:
I have some problems with corrupt JEPG images (comming from foscam cammeras). As far as I read, there are some tweaks we can do compiling zoneminder with turbo-jpeg libs (and eliminating the lines who creadte this warning)..

ISSUE:
Until I can find a solution on compiling ZM with turbo-jpeg, in the meantime, I need to clean/delete a HUGE entry log generated by this message: "Corrupt JPEG data: 1 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9"

QUESTION:
Does anybody know how to clean the ZM log?
(which is HUGE now, at least until I get the permanent fix on the turbo-jpeg lib)

thx.

I'd also like to know how to clear the logs. Thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than start a new one with the same question.

If you want to empty the entire zoneminder log file (THE WHOLE THING AND IT WILL BE GONE AND YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK) quickly:

mysql -uroot -ppassword zm
truncate table Logs;
quit

It gets rid of the WHOLE LOG. Do it only if you are sure. But it's real quick.

Periodic database optimization will clean up the space it contained later. Or should.

Note: This is the DATABASE copy of the log. the syslog or other filesystem copies would be handled in the file system.

Thanks. Take care.
