Laravel Auditing Not Logging old_values and new_values When Using saveQuietly in Observer

[kishan-pinetco]

I'm using the this package, and it's working fine for logging model events like created, updated, and deleted directly on models.

However, I'm running into an issue when using Laravel Observers. For example, I have a Product model with an observer that listens to the created and updated events. Inside the observer, I use $model->saveQuietly() to make some silent updates.

The audit logs are being created for created and updated events, but the old_values and new_values are missing — they’re either empty or not logged at all.

Has anyone faced this issue?
Is there a proper way to make Laravel Auditing capture old_values and new_values when using observers and saveQuietly()?

Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you trying to escape a particular event being triggered? I don't know if either the particular event could be disabled for this situation or if you have to manually dispatch the audit event to ensure the change isn't as silent as it is currently

No I want to triggered every events like create, update, delete etc. The problem is that it's logging in DB but with empty array.

When working with Laravel models, there are times when you want to save changes to the database without triggering any events. This is where the saveQuietly() method comes into play.

In my opinion no event should be executed, there should be no record in logs
