I've been getting oom-killer messages since I added a new camera. Rather than use a calculator to try to add up the total memory required, I figured I'd let MySQL do the work.

Somebody please check my math. Maybe others will benefit from the mysql script.

Code: Select all

mysql> select x.Id, x.Width, x.Height, x.ImageBufferCount, x.Colours, x.BufferSpace as BufferMB, 1.2*sum(x.BufferSpace) over (Order by Id) as RunningTotalMB_w_OH from (select Id, Width,Height,ImageBufferCount,Colours,(W
idth*Height*ImageBufferCount*Colours/1024/1024) as BufferSpace  from Monitors order by Id) x;

Very cool. I added to wiki.zoneminder.com/MySQL. Not sure if this addresses the difference between ZMA and ZMC though. In my case, Htop says ZMC -m36 below (Record only) has 6% of memory while ZMA -m7 has 5% of memory. The numbers below don't line up. (Not that I know what I'm talking about).

ZMC == record
ZMA == analysis/motion detection

You can verify a given process memory use via /proc/<pid>/status ofc.

Code: Select all
