Website File Changes Monitor SQL table structure

This document explains how the file integrity monitor plugin for WordPress stores file changes events in the WordPress database.

You can safely access file changes events from the WordPress dashboard. However, in exceptional circumstances, you might need to access events from the database itself. This may be the case, for example, if you cannot log in to the administration console and want to look at logs as part of your troubleshooting process.

Developers can also use this information to integrate a system or read the data directly from the database.
