If you want to customize the routes, you can publish the route file with this command:

Also, if you want to change the route file name, you can go to the config file and change the file_path:
/*
* Configurations.
*/
'config' => [
'routes' => [
'file_path' => 'routes/user-monitoring.php',
],
],You can config your user with the user-monitoring.php configuration file:
'user' => [
/*
* User model.
*/
'model' => 'App\Models\User',
/*
* Foreign Key column name.
*/
'foreign_key' => 'user_id',
/*
* Users table name.
*/
'table' => 'users',
/*
* The correct guard.
*/
'guard' => 'web',
/*
* If you are using uuid or ulid you can change it for the type of foreign_key.
*
* When you are using ulid or uuid, you need to add related traits into the models.
*/
'foreign_key_type' => 'id', // uuid, ulid, id
],model: If your user model exists in another place, you can change it to the correct namespace.foreign_key: You can set the user foreign_key name, likecustomer_id.table: You can write your users table name if is not `users.guard: The correct guard that using for the user.
If you are using uuid or ulid, you can change foreign_key_type to your correct foreign key type:
'user' => [
...
/*
* If you are using uuid or ulid you can change it for the type of foreign_key.
*
* When you are using ulid or uuid, you need to add related traits into the models.
*/
'foreign_key_type' => 'uuid', // uuid, ulid, id
],NOTE: You must write
uuidorulidorid.
When you want to monitor all views of your application, you must follow below:
-
Publish the Migrations
-
Use
VisitMonitoringMiddlewarein Kernel.php, you can go to theApp/Httpfolder and open theKernel.phpfile and addVisitMonitoringMiddlewareinto 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 the config folder and add pages into the visit_monitoring key:
'visit_monitoring' => [
/*
* You can specify pages not to be monitored.
*/
'except_pages' => [
'home',
'admin/dashboard',
],
],You may delete records by specific days, Laravel-User-Monitoring also supports this š¤©.
First, you need to go to the user-monitoring config file and highlight the days that you want to delete:
'visit_monitoring' => [
...
/*
* If you want to delete visit rows after some days, you can change this to 360,
* but if you don't like to delete rows you can change it to 0.
*
* For this feature you need Task-Scheduling => https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/scheduling
*/
'delete_days' => 10,
],After, you need to use Task Scheduling to fire-related command, so go to app/Console/Kernel.php and do like this:
<?php
namespace App\Console;
...
use Binafy\LaravelUserMonitoring\Commands\RemoveVisitMonitoringRecordsCommand;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule): void
{
$schedule->command(RemoveVisitMonitoringRecordsCommand::class)->hourly();
}
}You can change hourly to minute or second, for more information you can read Schedule Frequency Options.
Maybe you want to turn off visit monitoring for somedays or always, you can use configuration to turn it off:
'visit_monitoring' => [
...
/*
* If you want to disable visit monitoring, you can change it to false.
*/
'turn_on' => true,
...
]Laravel-User-Monitoring also has an amazing views that you can use it very easy, just need to go to /user-monitoring/visits-monitoring url, and enjoy:
Maybe you may disable record visits for Ajax requests, you can use config to disable it:
'visit_monitoring' => [
...
/*
* If you want to disable visit monitoring in Ajax mode, set it to false.
*/
'ajax_requests' => true,
...
],When set to false, Ajax requests will not be recorded.
If you want to monitor your models actions, you can use the Actionable trait in 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 is read, created, updated, or deleted, you can see which users doing that.
If you want to disable some actions like created, you can use the 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,
],Laravel-User-Monitoring also has amazing views that you can use very easily, just need to go to the /user-monitoring/actions-monitoring URL, and enjoy:
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 logging in or logout of your application, you need to migrate the migrations to the config file and change true for monitoring authentication.
