[rt-users] RT transaction log / general history

[Gene LeDuc]

Hi Tomas,

If you're sure you want _every_ transaction, I'd suggest using the RT API 
and throwing together a simple perl script that pulls some info from every 
transaction made "yesterday" and then run it a few mintues after midnight 
as a cron job.  Load the collected info into an e-mail and send it to 
yourself.  If you are at all "perl-aware", you should find enough sample 
API snippets and programs on the wiki to be able to do this.  As for the 
logins, use the same perl script to grep the rt.log file for [info] 
messages that contain "Successful login " (check your rt.log file for the 
exact phrasing).  If you're not familiar with perl and don't want to learn 
it, what you want will be a challenge.

This should be a fun little project, but you're likely to get a lot of 
transaction entries.

Regards,
Gene
