Syslogify

Redirects standard output and standard error to syslog.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'syslogify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install syslogify

Usage

As soon as the gem is loaded, output will be diverted if:

  • STDOUT is an interactive terminal; or
  • the environment is development or test; and
  • the environment varible FORCE_SYSLOG is unset.

The current environment is determined by looking at, by order of decreasing precedence, the AR_ENV environment variable, Rails.env if available, and the RACK_ENV environment variable. It defaults to development.

If you wish to delay diversion, change your Gemfile to:

gem 'syslogify', require: false

and start and stop diversion at your convenience:

require 'syslogify/forker'

Syslogify::Forker.instance.start
# do stuff
Syslogify::Forker.instance.stop
