Gem to track User Activity [closed]

Question

Is there a good gem to track/log user activities on the site? Like when they sign in, sign out, or perform an action that changes something on the site (non GET requests in general).

Answer 1

Yes there are. Here is one, paper trail. https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail

Its main prupose is to versioning models but I think its also good for your use case since it registers who made each version.

For more gems search at ruby toolbox. Here are the categoties that you should check in this case

Maybe Userstamp is actually better for your use case.

Answer 2

This is a follow up. I've been using a gem called public_activity. https://github.com/pokonski/public_activity. It's pretty simple to install and setup.
