Tracking user activity logs using Loggastic
summary
Library that logs user and system activity to Elasticsearch from Symfony apps, integrated with API Platform and using Doctrine listeners + Symfony Messenger to make logging asynchronous. It creates two indexes per entity (current data tracker and activity_log), uses serialization groups and a Loggable attribute to choose tracked fields, supports custom actions, LoggableChildInterface and LogIdentifierExtractor for readable identifiers, and provides API and Twig readers. Commands include composer require locastic/loggastic and bin/console locastic:activity-logs:create-loggable-indexes. On one project it handles 1.5 million activity logs with API responses under 200 ms.
