What's the recommended plugin for logging events in HivePress?

What’s the recommended plugin for logging events in HivePress? I’d like to create logs for user registration, user login, announcement creation, announcement editing, etc.

Hi,

Could you please clarify which logs you are referring to? Do you want events to be recorded in a file? There are already email notifications for these events. If you want to log them, there isn’t a special tool for this, but you can use snippets to link logging to email hooks. For example, the hivepress/v1/emails/user_register/send hook can be used to log that the event occurred, and you can use tokens from the email if needed.

I’d like to have easy access to the most important user activities that result in changes to my website. I’m referring to logs like the ones displayed by the “Activity Log – Monitor & Record User Changes” plugin. Not all such plugins work well with HivePress, but this one works. Unfortunately, the plugin has likely been abandoned, so I’m looking for an alternative.

If you find a similar plugin, it will most likely work for HivePress since the framework relies on the WordPress database and user management system, so if it logs any events like registration, password reset, profile update, etc. it will work since HivePress makes the same changes but via the front-end user actions. Unfortunately there’s no such built-in functionality for action logs, possible solutions are using a third-party plugin (with possible customizations) or a completely custom solution (assigning functions to hooks and logging into a text file).

Hope this helps
