If you are talking about logging changes in the database, I would probably just create table triggers in the database.
Here is a post about creating those.

Logging User Activity in the Database
There are obviously a number of ways to store user activity in the database.
While researching, I came up on a number of options such as: using user-made packages, creating events and listeners, making custom services, and even just manually creating rows on the logs table.
My question is: at least in the Laravel community, what is the most common or accepted way of logging user activity in the database? Thanks in advance!

@Tray2 Thank you for the reply! I am aware of this option, by I'm looking for a method where I have a logs table (for example, user_logs) and I can log any activity in the system by the user, not just database changes (like logging-in).

@amitsolanki24_ This looks like a great package. But I'm still in the lookout for a solution using only vanilla Laravel.

@maelfjord What you’re describing is auditing. There’s many packages out there that will provide this if you search for “laravel auditing package” in Google or similar.
