How to keep logs of your users in Laravel 4?

I have users table in my database lay out like this :

As of now, since I am an Admin user so I have Admin right, and I can Create, Update, and Delete. I want to allow all my users to have the same right as me later on. Before I release this feature, I want to keep track on who edit what - so things doesn't get lost, and it's good to keep the history of things.

What is best practice for this feature ? I know that I have do some programming logic in my update function in my Controller function. I know that I have to create a logs table on my database to store

For someone, that had any experiences with this feature, can you PLEASE give me some advice ? I really appreciate your concern. Thank You.

I think best approach to this problem is each action that a user takes that you want to log should also fire an event.

Event::fire('some.event', array(Auth::user()));

Then you can register listeners for each event and log appropriately.

Event::listen('some.event', function($user)
{
    // create new item in logs table here.
});
