Users Actions Logging

Hi all,

Is there any gem or plugin available for Users Actions Logging? User can create, view, chage, delete some Model and other users should be available to see the logs.

I'm ready to use some kind of observers on models, to write Events to database.

And second question: Should I store all Events in database? Or YAML files or something would be preferred?

You thoughs, guys

I've used acts_as_audited for this

changes are stored in the 'audits' table where an audit is a standard AR object that looks like this:

#<Audit id: 23555, auditable_id: 542, auditable_type: "Student", user_id: nil, user_type: nil, username: nil, action: "update", changes: {"times_logged_in"=>[8, 9], "last_logged_in"=>[Wed Nov 18 10:52:05 +0000 2009, Tue Apr 27 18:03:03 +0100 2010]}, version: 11, created_at: "2010-04-27 18:03:03">

Hi,

You should maintain audit for this. And “acts_as_audited” gem provides an active record extension using which you can track the update , create, destroy actions on a model

thanks,
