How To Monitor the Network Log Migration With BetterShield?

2 min read

Follow the automatic move of site records into shared multisite tables without deleting the original data.

In BetterShield, the Moving the log to the shared tables card is on Network Admin › BetterShield › Network.

What it does

The migration copies each site’s activity log, findings, agent activity, and passkeys into tables the network screens can query. States are Not started, In progress, Waiting to retry, and Finished, with Sites carried over progress.

It runs automatically in small hourly batches and removes nothing from the original site tables.

Step 1: Monitor the Network Log Migration

No switch is required after network activation. Keep WordPress scheduled tasks working and monitor the card.

The card reports automatic progress without offering a destructive move control.

Allow the migration to finish before relying on a complete cross-site Activity or Incidents view. Investigate a repeated retry state through scheduled-task and database checks.

What it can break and how to undo

The copy is designed to preserve source data. A stalled migration can leave network views incomplete while site views remain available. Restore scheduled work or database access and let the next batch retry.

Final Outcome

The carried-over count should rise between hourly runs and eventually reach the total site count with Finished.
