It seems that daily, my System Status page is giving me the following error:

Missing Log Tables
You don't have logging enabled on some tables. This may cause errors on performing insert/update operation on them.

I then create the log tables, error goes away - next day - repeat.

Two activities I did in past couple weeks might have triggered this

  1. Upgraded PHP version from 7 to 7.1 - while I believe I selected all the proper modules/extensions - there may have been something I missed.
  2. Updated from 5.3.1 to 5.6

  • Has also happened to me on a Drupal site, with PHP 7.1.22, with Civi at 5.6 – Andy Clark Oct 23 '18 at 17:17

Most people who have this issue are on CiviCRM 5.3-5.6, and is caused by the "missing logging tables" check assuming that temp tables should have a logging table. There is a fix available on Github, and it's part of CiviCRM 5.7+.

Here is summary of our situation after ours reappeared.

This was actually a wrong message shown on the status page. The logging is disabled on /civicrm/admin/setting/misc?reset=1.

The flow which can lead to this error is -

  • Logging is enabled on the site which generates a list of log tables in the database.

  • User now disables the logging functionality on the site which now stops generating any more log tables.

  • User create a custom set on the site which creates a new table in the database.

  • The system status page notices a missing log table for the above and displays a warning.

The last step should also check if the logging is enabled on the site even if it is able to find some core log tables already present in the db.

Will submit a PR for this tomorrow.

Cleared Litespeed Cache (a Wordpress cache) and error persisted. Cleared CiviCRM Cache - error disappeared - but returned the next day. Same result as clicking rebuild tables. So the issue persists.

  • if you 'accept' your own answer (when you can) it kind of closes this off – petednz - fuzion♦ Oct 23 '18 at 19:10
  • Turns out I was premature. – themak Oct 24 '18 at 2:19
