grizzled-rails-logger
Grizzled Rails Logger is a Ruby gem that provides an add-on for the stock Rails 3 logger.
The Grizzled::Rails::Logger
module augments the Rails 3
ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger
class, providing some additional
capabilities, including:
- Configurable colorized logging (colorized by severity).
- Simple timestamp configuration.
- The ability to include the PID in each message.
- The ability to flatten the log output, removing spurious newlines, so that each message occupies only one line.
- An
exception
message that dumps an exception backtrace to the log
Installation for Rails 3
Add the following to your Gemfile
, and run bundle install
:
gem 'grizzled-rails-logger'
If you want the development version of the gem, use:
gem 'grizzled-rails-logger', :git => 'git://github.com/bmc/grizzled-rails-logger.git'
Caveats
This gem currently only works with Ruby 1.9. If there's a big enough hue and cry, I'll patch it to work with Ruby 1.8.7, but I'd rather not.
