Zoneminder lots of errors and CPU usage

jjpeet · April 26, 2017, 8:15pm

Hi I’m getting lots of log errors based around zoneminder (I think). I’m displaying 4 cameras (with seems to work fine) but am also getting lots of CPU use.

Here’s the log errors. Any advice on how I might fix this?

I get most of those too. Everything seems to be working though. After last 2 updates I am also getting:

17-04-25 20:50:03 WARNING (Thread-11) [homeassistant.components.camera.zoneminder] Alarm status API call failed for monitor 2
17-04-25 20:50:03 ERROR (Thread-7) [homeassistant.components.zoneminder] Unable to get API response from ZoneMinder
NoneType

I don’t even have any alarms set up through ZoneMinder.

jjpeet · April 26, 2017, 10:29pm

Yeah - I’ve found the Zoneminder integration to be excellent. Allows me to better manage my cameras, including setting alarms etc, but have all this exposed within HA.

Just seem to get plenty of logging (good & bad) and I’m wondering whether I’m pushing HA too much, or whether there’s just a bug in there…

not sure. I do use alarms for notification automations and they work well.

What version are you running? I am currently running 1.29 with success and have tried 1.30 with problems. I see there is 1.30.2 now and was curious if it runs well before I attempt an upgrade (Really don’t want to screw it up).

uiguy · May 3, 2017, 1:09pm

I have just updated to ZM v1.30.3 and it has broken the integration with HA…

jjpeet · May 3, 2017, 8:07pm

I’m running 1.30. Do you know if its possible to downgrade to 1.29?
Thx
JP

I think it is, however I am not an expert. there is a PPA for older versions which is maintained which can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive/ubuntu/zoneminder/+packages

I moved over to ubuntu server 17.04 now and reinstalled zoneminder v1.30.3 and everything is working again Also actually seems quicker and more stable than before as well… bonus

Corey_Johnson · May 6, 2017, 4:05pm

Did you upgrade Ubuntu (if even possible) or do a fresh install. I honestly don’t remember half the things I did to get my multiple Lan connections and such running so I am not ready to do a fresh install.

uiguy · May 6, 2017, 8:33pm

i did fresh install after backing up the database then reinstalled the database backup…
