Devise: Registering log in attempts

Question

I have a Rails 3.0 project using devise and I've been requested to register in DB every succesful login and every failed attempt.

From the devise documentation I think I'd have to extend FailureApp but the examples are just redirecting users and not using the model at all. In stackoverflow I've just found this question but it remained unanswered, which is not encouraging

Can anyone tell me if I'm correct in this approach or it can't be done this way, or if there is some easier alternative I'm missing?

(I know there is no code yet, I'm just looking for a small guidance before diving in)

Thanks.

Answer 1

Modifying Devise::SessionsController to do your dirty work will do the trick.

Simply copy that file into your app/controllers/devise/sessions_controller.rb

Once you've done that, just add some code to where the user successfully logs in and where he fails to log in that will do what you want.

You'll probably want to create a new model for tracking login records.
