ZoneMinder Forums

Hi. I'm brand new to Zoneminder, I have done some searching but still am in need of help.

I am running Zoneminder in Docker with Dlandon 1.34.9 image. I have both a MySQL server and nfs share for events running on a remote PC on the same network. My four cameras are currently all running modect, and aside from a low framerate I'm trying to figure out, the setup seems to work fine and capture events without issue. My log file is giving no indication of any issues.

As the title says, in the console view, all events for day, hour, month, archived on all monitors just show "0B" in spite of having plenty events being captured regularly. Similarly, the zone column shows "0" for all monitors in spite of having zones setup on all cameras. When I go into the events or zone pages, all data populates fine, the issue only exists on the console page. I went into the mySQL database itself and from what I can tell, the data I am missing appears to be populating just fine.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can debug this?

Thanks everyone,

I have this issue with a fresh 12/5/2020 install of linux mint using latest software/os.

I tried this on another linux mint/zoneminder install 3 days ago, this issue was not in that install.

both installs initially hung when bringing up zoneminder web console, something about utf-8, found dpkg reconfigure fixed the hang problem for both systems, but this one has all zeros for event data and zone counts, but zones are working and events being recorded.

any ideas?

Try updating the DB.

Probably due to a malformed install. Easiest way is to install using the guides at

Mint is not necessarily Debian. It's best to stick to what works.

Review all logs for any hints or leads.

My ZM started having this issue after I upgraded from 1.34.9 to 1.34.21. My console events were all showing 0b, and my filters stopped working. My install is through FreeNAS, so I went back to the NAS UI and did a manual upgrade on the Zoneminder jail, then ran zmupdate.pl. After restart, my event sizes came back. I'll put a second vote in for bad install.

I believe I've found a solution to this. Click each event category and watch an event. When you go back to Console, that zone will now register accurate drive space. There's gotta be a config database on the backend that isn't being updated. Did that fix it?
