Overview

A logger that rotates log files based on the current date. Log files are named after the date on which they were created. If the date changes a new log file is used.

In order to use this logger you'll have to specify a base directory for all log files. This directory will not be created for you so make sure it exists. Loading the class can be done as following:

logger = Ramaze::Logger::RotatingInformer.new('./log')

This creates a new instance that uses the directory ./log for all it's log files.

The default log format is %Y-%m-%d.log. If you want to change this you can specify an alternative format (including the extension) as the secondary parameter of the .new() method:

logger = Ramaze::Logger::RotatingInformer.new('./log', '%d-%m-%Y.log')

In this case the instance will use the date format dd-mm-yyyy along with the .log extension.

Besides the date format you can also customize the timestamp format as well as the format of each logged messages. Both these are set in a trait. The timestamp format is located in the trait :timestamp while the message format is stored in the :format trait. These can be set as following:

logger = Ramaze::Logger::RotatingInformer.new('./log')

logger.trait[:timestamp] = '...'
logger.trait[:format]    = '...'

When setting the :format trait you can use 3 tags that will be replaced by their corresponding values. These are the following tags:

  • %time: will be replaced by the current time.
  • %prefix: the log level such as "ERROR" or "INFO".
  • %text: the actual log message.

Constructor Details

#initialize(base_dir, time_format = '%Y-%m-%d.log', log_levels = [:debug, :error, :info, :warn]) ⇒ RotatingInformer

Create a new instance of RotatingInformer.

base_dir is the directory where all log files will be stored

time_format is the time format used to name the log files. Possible formats are identical to those accepted by Time.strftime

log_levelse is an array describing what kind of messages that the log receives. The array may contain any or all of the symbols :debug, :error, :info and/or :warn

Examples:

# Creates logs in directory called logs. The generated filenames
# will be in the form YYYY-MM-DD.log
RotatingInformer.new('logs')

# Creates logs in directory called logs. The generated filenames
# will be in the form YYYY-MM.txt
RotatingInformer.new('logs', '%Y-%m.txt')

# Creates logs in directory called logs. The generated filenames
# will be in the form YYYY-MM.txt.
# Only errors will be logged to the files.
RotatingInformer.new('logs', '%Y-%m.txt', [:error])

Parameters:

  • base_dir (String) —

    The base directory for all the log files.

  • time_format (String) (defaults to: '%Y-%m-%d.log') —

    The time format for all log files.

  • log_levels (Array) (defaults to: [:debug, :error, :info, :warn]) —

    Array containing the type of messages to log.
