Rails - Oct 2009 - Plugin to track create, update, delete on certain tables?

Hi all

I''d like to start keeping track of who has created, updated or deleted
certain of our models - eg users, resources, lessons.  The
''who'' would
generally be simply the id that is in session[:id], ie the current user.
The table to keep track would most likely have fields for user_id,
record_type, record_id, transaction_type and created_at, or names to
that effect anyway.

This seems like the sort of thing for which a plugin would already
exist, but i''ve not managed to put the right terms into google to find
one.  Can anyone point me at one?

thanks
max

If you like that you might also want to take a look at vestal versions. 
This not only allows you to audit changes on models, but also be able to 
actually see what the model looked like in the past. I know in your case 
you''re mostly interested in an audit trail, but vestal versions is 
certainly worth a look if you''re not aware of it.
