Sitecore 8.1 : sitecore_fxm_web_index - Root item could not be found

We are using Sitecore 8.1 powered by Lucene index and xDB disabled.

We noticed that the CMS CA is quiet slow. While looking at logs noticed a number of error logged below:

ManagedPoolThread #4 2015:12:18 10:17:05 ERROR [Index=sitecore_fxm_web_index, Crawler=SitecoreItemCrawler, Database=web] Root item could not be found: /sitecore/system/Marketing Control Panel/fxm/.

Could someone please suggest why sitecore is looking for Web forms for marketing index which we don't need it?

Thanks

Sitecore looks for sitecore_fxm_web_index index. It's not a WFFM index - it's Federated Experience Manager Index. This is an integral part of Sitecore 8.1.

Here you can read more about Federated Experience Manager.

Looks like you're missing root item of this index, which is /sitecore/system/Marketing Control Panel/fxm/. I guess you're migration process from Sitecore 7 (which you mentioned in other question) to Sitecore 8.1 was not 100% successful.
