How to keep log of user actions in a Rails 3 app?

Question

I want to keep automatically track of user's actions in my rails 3 app.
I mean, when a user buy a stuff or delete a record, I want to have something like this:

| User | Action | Model | IP | DateTime |
|User 1 | delete | Product | xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | 01-10-10 |
|User 2 | create | Product | xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | 01-10-10 |
...

Is there a gem that do this automagically?

Thanks in advance
