Visit Monitoring

When you want to monitor all views of your application, you must follow below:

1. Publish the Migrations

2. Use VisitMonitoringMiddleware in Kernel.php, you can go to App/Http folder and open the Kernel.php file and add VisitMonitoringMiddleware into your middleware for example:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
        \Binafy\LaravelUserMonitoring\Middlewares\VisitMonitoringMiddleware::class,
    ],

    'api' => [
        // \Laravel\Sanctum\Http\Middleware\EnsureFrontendRequestsAreStateful::class,
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class.':api',
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
    ],
];

After, you can see all pages monitoring :)

If you want to disable monitoring for specific pages you can go to user-monitoring.php that exists in config folder and add pages into visit_monitoring key:

'visit_monitoring' => [
    /*
     * You can specify pages not to be monitored.
     */
    'expect_pages' => [
        'home',
        'admin/dashboard',
    ],
],

Action Monitoring

If you want to monitor your models actions, you can use Actionable trait into your model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Binafy\LaravelUserMonitoring\Traits\Actionable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Product extends Model
{
    use Actionable;
}

Now when a product readed, created, updated or deleted, you can see which users doing that.

If you want to disable some action like created, you can use config file:

'action_monitoring' => [
    ...
    
    /*
     * Monitor actions.
     *
     * You can set true/false for monitor actions like (store, update, and ...).
     */
    'on_store'      => false,
    'on_update'     => true,
    'on_destroy'    => true,
    'on_read'       => true,
    'on_restore'    => false,
    'on_replicate'  => false,
],

Authentication Monitoring

Have you ever thought about monitoring the entry and exit of users of your application? Now you can :)
If you want to monitor users when login or logout in your application, you need migrate the migrations and go to config file and change true for monitoring authentication.

'authentication_monitoring' => [
    ...

    /*
     * You can set true/false for monitor login or logout. 
     */
    'on_login' => true,
    'on_logout' => true,
],
