I believe I've overshot BI's capabilities.

I believe I've overshot BI's capabilities.

What happens when you have all the hardware you need and yet, BI can't keep a proper count and list clips?
Shortly after adding my 50th camera it had issues.


Version: Release 5.6.7.3 x64 (1/4/2023)
Service: Yes [LocalSystem]

OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard
CPU,GPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6242 CPU @ 2.80GHz [23%,1%]
RAM: 10.1G/63.6G
Clips: 16359 items, 189.7G/5.66T
Storage: D: +682.4G, C: +243.4G

"new" files are 75K+ in folder, BI sees 16K+ in UI, that's after wiping out the NEW folder and restarting - again.

I think BI's database is faulty. rebuilt it a dozen times or more to no avail.

I don't know what I could've missed but open to suggestions.
 
After ver 5.6.6.x, the data base has had corruption issues, couple of threads detailing the problems.
Roll back to a version prior to 5.6.6.x, notify BI support.

Instead of just rebuilding that database, shutdown BI, delete the entire DB folder, startup BI and let it rebuild.

Best to only install BI ver that are marked as Stable. Turn off auto updates.
Best practice to not update "just because".
Only update if you hope it fixs an issue or adds something you want.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Down at the bottom of the BI console - how many clips does it show? It can get unstable after 200,000 clips. It can take a while if you have lots of tiny files.

And versions 5.6.6.x and newer has DB issues. Lots of threads on it.

I'll swing bqack to 5.6.6 and see -

I had a lot then deleted folder and strated fresh - only75K clips now. Had 340K before wipe out.

Hay @looney2ns, What version of BI are you currently using. I think I may need to rollback.
