[Rails] Users Actions Logging

[Vladimir Rybas]

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
http://github.com/collectiveidea/acts_as_audited

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:

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,

Sunanda
