Laravel 5.2 - event handling - log a user login via remember me - events

Question

I am using the default laravel 5.2 authorization library.
I am using the remember me functionality with a 24 hour time out.
I need to log user_id with IP address in an audit table after each user visit to the webste.
I have done this using the EventServiceProvider, listening for the login event
and then using the request object to identify the IP and persisting to the database.
protected $listen = [
'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [
'App\Listeners\LogSuccessfulLogin',
],
This works for all logins where the login screen is used with username and password supplied by the user.
However if the user accesses the website via the session cookie (ie- login within 24 hours of the previous login) the login is not recorded. So it must follow a different path within the authorization library.
In the API documentation (https://laravel.com/api/5.2/Illuminate/Auth/Events.html) there is no event like for example 'LogInViaCookie'.
I have tried adding a method to AuthController-
/**
* Add audit.
*
* #param $request
* #param $user
*/
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
try
{
$audit = Audit::create(['internet_protocol' => $request->ip,
'uid' => $user->id,
'general' => 'viaCookie']);
$audit->save();
}catch(\Exception $e){
Log::error($e->getMessage());
}
}
This authenticated method, as I understand it, should be fired from the AuthenticatesUsers trait (line 115)-
if (method_exists($this, 'authenticated')) {
return $this->authenticated($request, Auth::guard($this->getGuard())->user());
}
However, it appears this method is not fired when logging in via cookie.
How can I listen for and capture this type of 'LogInViaCookie' event to update my audit table?

Rifki- That sounds like a good solution. I've tried implementing but I can't get it to work.
This is my viaCookie.php-
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class viaCookie
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if(Auth::viaRemember()) {
dd('logged in via cookie');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
And my Kernel.php update-
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\viaCookie::class,
],
Am I missing something? dd isn't being fired.
