Event Logging outage last week due to huge volume spike caused data loss. We're backfilling now.
Event Logging won't consume your data into mysql until you have 100 events, so low throughput schemas won't show up for a while. A new patch (being tested now) will fix to consume at least every 5 minutes
People can't test Event Logging in the beta cluster because /var keeps filling up on deployment-eventlogging02.eqiad.wmflabs. Yuvi enabled the /srv mount but we can't run puppet due to T96921. Need some ops help but Andrew is on vacation. In the meantime I dumped the log db, deleted the /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 file and reloaded the log db backup.
