What we needed it for.

At $work we had a need to add user activity logging to one of our internal APIs.

We already had some logging code written for Class::DBI, however the new app happily used DBIx::Class.

Alternatives

DBIx::Class::Journal https://metacpan.org/module/DBIx::Class::Journal

DBIx::Class::Shadow https://github.com/frioux/dbix-class-shadow-presentation

Not much else.

What do we log? When does it ocur?

• Enabled for all insert/update/delete actions wrapped in "txn_do" statements
• Transactions are saved as Changesets
• Each Changeset can have many Actions
• Actions can have many Changes. An Action can be of type insert/update/delete
• Changes show the data that was changed during an action
