Accepted Answer

Use Composer to require the package, then run the migration to create audit tables. Check the official documentation for detailed setup steps and configuration options.

Question 2

Laravel Auditing vs Spatie Laravel Activity Log: which is better?

Laravel Auditing is specialized for Eloquent model change tracking with anomaly detection, while Spatie's package is more general for logging various activities. Choose based on whether you need focused model auditing or broader event logging.

Question 3

How to display audit logs in a Laravel admin panel?

Accepted Answer

Retrieve audit data using methods like getAudits() on models and format it in your views. You must build the UI yourself, as the package doesn't provide pre-built interfaces.

Yes, it can audit soft deletes if enabled in the model configuration. Refer to the documentation for setting up auditing on specific events like deleting or restoring.

Question 5

How to customize which fields are audited in Laravel Auditing?

Accepted Answer

Define an auditable array in your model to include or exclude specific fields, giving you control over what changes are logged without modifying the package core.

Question 6

Does Laravel Auditing support queueing for better performance?

Accepted Answer

The package allows integrating with Laravel's queue system to defer audit log writes, but you need to configure it manually, as it's not enabled by default to reduce immediate database load.
