We just released v5 of laravel-activitylog, our package for logging user activity and model events in Laravel.
In Flare, Mailcoach, and Oh Dear we use it to build audit logs, so we can track what users are doing: who changed a setting, who deleted a project, who invited a team member. If you need something similar in your app, this package makes it easy.
