Is anyone else seeing flakiness with Alerts since upgrading to 6.x, especially very recently?
Over the last ~week or so I've noticed a dramatic reduction in the number of alerts that I see in the UI3 Timeline view on all 3 of my upgraded installations.
Camera groups that typically have dozens of alerts overnight from wildlife, etc., have 1 or 2 alerts, or sometimes none at all. Other cameras have their typical alert count.
So this morning my UI3 was unresponsive, so I RDPed in to see that Win11 had done an update and rebooted itself
, and was waiting for me to acknowledge some requests to sell me new services
.
I clicked through as normal, and UI3 came up with its small handful of alerts, so I went back to my RDP session to do "Database: Repair/Regenerate." It finished instantly, which was ominous. And now my UI3 Timeline view has no alerts at all
. The Database section of the console shows indexing took 0 ms:
The C:\
BlueIris\db\ folder has files:
but Compact, Run Maintenance, and Repair/Regenerate finish instantly/do nothing:
and none of these operations restores any old Alerts in my UI3 timeline, which should have literally hundreds of alerts overnight:
I do see this warning in the Log that, "Legacy DB files may now be deleted or archived". Could that be the culprit? Do I have to manually update the database format/file/location/????, or is BI6 supposed to do that automatically?
I do appear to be getting new alerts since the reboot, so this is not a catastrophe, but it's still an annoyance, especially since my db folder looks like it contains a bunch of stuff, including files that are very current.
