Track a user who has updated data in Ruby on Rails

Question

I am new to Ruby on Rails. The rails application that I have developed has several models including one for user that stores user name, passwords and other user related information.

Now the problem is that a few columns of a table corresponding to a model has modified erratically. Now I want to know if Ralis has any feature so that I can know the user who has done this or this is because of some other reasons.

Answer 1

https://github.com/collectiveidea/audited might provide the auditing you require.

Answer 2

Using devise

It adds other columns(yours) in migrate, before generate views

Answer 3

You can try installing Userstamp and maybe Paper Trail to track changes to records. If you've implemented the User model yourself (as opposed to a framework like devise), you'll need to read the docs carefully to see what properties are expected of your User models to get the full benefit.
