laravel-activity-mornitor

Activity Monitor Log is an activity logger for monitoring user activity and eloquent models events activity.

Note: This package use laravel 5.5+ it require php 7.0+

Setup

Add package dependency to your project

composer require uatthaphon/laravel-activity-monitor

As the package build for laravel 5.5+, I use Auto-Discovery so we don't need to add service provider in config\app.php anymore

Run publishing to get the database migration for table activity_monitors

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=migrations

After published, we can create table by running the migrations

php artisan migrate

Usage

Logger

This package have 2 aliases AMLog and AMView for us to easily use to save the log and view the logs.

We don't need to add those 2 aliases to config/app.php neither. It already added for us by Auto-Discovery.

Example, log the user updated their post.

use AMLog;

$post = Post::where('user_id', $id)->firstOrFail();
$post->body = 'update body content';
$post->save();

AMLog::logName('custom log name')               // Declare log name
    ->description('user updated post content')  // Log description
    ->happenTo($post)                           // Model of the event happen to
    ->actBy(\Auth::user())                      // Model that cause this event
    ->meta(['key'=>'value'])                    // Additional pieces of information
    ->save();                                   // Let's Save the log

AMlog also prepared some of the log name for us to easily use => debug, error, fatal, info, warning

use AMLog;
...
AMLog::debug('some debug description')->save();

AMLog::error('some error description')->save();

AMLog::fatal('some fatal description')->save();

AMLog::info('some info description')->save();

AMLog::warning('some warning description')->save();

That's it 🎶

Eloquent Models Events Log

For you to easy log your eloquent model activities when created, updated, deleted.

After you setting up the package then add ModelEventActivity Trait to your model.

namespace App\Models;

...
use Uatthaphon\ActivityMonitor\Traits\ModelEventActivity;

class ToBelog extends Model
{
    use ModelEventActivity;
    ...
}

This feature will record only changes in your application by setting protected static $loggable to tell the logger which attributes should be logs.

Note: It will not log attribute that use database default value... Except you add value to the attribute by your self

...
use Uatthaphon\ActivityMonitor\Traits\ModelEventActivity;

class ToBelog extends Model
{
    use ModelEventActivity;

    protected static $loggable = ['title', 'description']
}

If title record changed, It will only log title field in the table activity_monitors

{"title": "has some change"}

We can cutomize which eloquent event should be log by protected static $eventsToLog.

In the example below only created event for this model will be logged

...
use Uatthaphon\ActivityMonitor\Traits\ModelEventActivity;

class ToBelog extends Model
{
    use ModelEventActivity;

    protected static $eventsToLog = ['created']
}

We can add our meta data to each event by add this to yout model

...
use Uatthaphon\ActivityMonitor\Traits\ModelEventActivity;

class ToBelog extends Model
{
    use ModelEventActivity;

    protected static $createdEventMeta = ['create key' => 'create value'];

    protected static $updatedEventMeta = ['update key' => 'update value'];

    protected static $deletedEventMeta = ['deletd key' => 'delete value'];

    ...
}

View Logs

We can use AMView to get our logs it will return as ActivityMonitor

See this example below

use AMView;

...

// Get all
AMView::all();                                    // get all the logs
AMView::get();                                    // also act the same as all()

// With conditions
AMView::logName('your_log_name')                  // get by log name
    ->limit(5)                                    // limit resutls
    ->sortBy('desc')                              // sort By desc or asc
    ->get();

// Get from multiple log names
AMView::logName('info', 'updated')->get();
AMView::logName(['info', 'updated'])->get();


// Get all specific lastest post log From current user
$user = \Auth::user();
$post = $user->post()->last($user);
AMView::happenTo($post)->ActBy($user)->get();

// Or call from providings log name function
AMView::debug()->all();

AMView::error()->all();

AMView::fatal()->all();

AMView::info()->all();

AMView::warning()->all();

...

Try and see. It will return collection of ActivityMonitor model

use AMView;

...

$am = AMView::info()->all()->last();

$am->log_name;                          // Get log name
$am->description;                       // Get description
$am->agent;                             // Get user browser agent
$am->ip;                                // Get user ip address

$traces = $am->traces;                  // Get traces

foreach ($traces as $key => $value) {
    // do something
}

$meta = $am->meta;                      // Get you custom meta data

foreach ($meta as $key => $value) {
    // do something
}

...

View Log In Specific Model

We can add ActivityMonitor to our model

...
use Uatthaphon\ActivityMonitor\Traits\ActivityMonitorRelations;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
  use ActivityMonitorRelations;

  ...
}

Now we can use activity() polymorphic relations

// Get all activity records of the current user
\Auth::user()->activity()->get();

// Retrived with more specific
// By tell with model record user was interact with
$user = \Auth::user();
$user->activity()->happenTo($user->posts()-last())->get();

// Use the providing log name function
$user->activity()->info()->get();

// Use the providing log name with specific fom model togetter
$user->activity()
    ->info()
    ->happenTo($user->posts()-last())
    ->get();
