Users online on Laravel 4.2?

Question

Laravel

Tell me, please, how to implement simple and high-quality control of users who are currently on the site, show online or not (registered users)? I would like to add here whether they are from a mobile device, and, perhaps, how many bots are currently on the site.
I searched a lot on the Internet, but did not find anything sensible.
I tried the package https://github.com/JN-Jones/visitor-log , but a lot of errors fell during installation. Do not want.
Thank you.

As well as not on laravel. Use the timestamp of the user's last action.
For example, online is equal to 3 minutes, users who have changed the time during the past 3 minutes are online, the rest are off.
Why write a package for 5 lines of code?

If you need strictly up-to-date information at the moment, try websockets. But it's overkill, I think. Better as the previous speaker suggested ...
