File change detection

    File Change Detection was enabled prior to WP 4.3.1, and we upgraded to WP 4.3.1 after that.

    We have been receiving WordPress File Change email everyday informing us of the same file changes: Files Added: 10021. When we checked the log in the WP Admin, there is no File Change detected for the day. The Files Added were the file changes when we performed the upgrade.

    How do we confirm that the file change is legitimate so that File Change email can show us the actual file change for the day, for us to identify properly which file has changed.

    This seems to be a similar (database) issue as reported in this topic.

    To confirm for 100% it is the same issue check your web server error_log file. You might find errors in that log file that look very similar to these:

    WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = ‘a:10021:{…}’ WHERE option_name = ‘itsec_local_file_list’;

    WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query INSERT INTO wp_itsec_log (log_type, log_priority, log_function, log_date, log_date_gmt, log_host, log_username, log_user, log_url, log_referrer, log_data) VALUES (‘file_change’, ‘8’, ‘File Changes Detected’, ‘2015-06-06 14:01:38’, ‘2015-06-06 12:01:38’, ”, ”, ‘0’, ”, ”, ‘a:4:{s:5:\”added\”;a:10021:{…}s:7:\”removed\”;a:0:{}s:7:\”changed\”;a:0:{}s:6:\”memory\”;s:4:\”2.13\”;}’);

    Please note the provided solution in the other topic was never confirmed.
    So you may need to do additional database tweaking.

    We set the max_allowed_packets to a bigger size, and after some days, we managed to get a normal file change email.

    The provided solution in the other topic seems to work well for us.

    Thanks!~
