Example to start recording page views using middlware in web.php:

This middlware can be enabled/disabled in the configuration settings.

Trait Usage

Routes

Laravel Activity Dashbaord Routes

Custom package routes

If you wish to change the route paths, names or other options you can disable the default routes in your .env file by setting

If you are on an existing install, you will also need update your laravel-logger.php config file to add the config option:

You can then add the routes directly to your application's routes/web.php file, and customise as required.

Search

adding dynamic search fields (description , user, URL , method and ip address)

High Performance Paginator

When dealing with millions activity records, default behavior of not paginate records or Laravel's paginator (enabled LARAVEL_LOGGER_PAGINATION_ENABLED=true) may lead to huge performance penalties. For that use case you may set LARAVEL_LOGGER_CURSOR_PAGINATION_ENABLED=true to enable Laravel's Cursor Pagination feature. This will heavily improve Laravel Logger page loading time. If you choose to do so it's advisable to read Cursor vs. Offset Pagination section on Laravel's documentation to get acquainted with Cursor Pagination limitations.

.env file

add these configurations to your .env file to control the logging search

by default all search fields are enabled when you enable the search with this one line configuration
