active_support-custom_logger

ActiveSupport::CustomLogger

Adds timestamp, request UUID and parent Process ID to each line of the Rails logger. Works on Rails 3.x & 4.x.

Rails' Tagged Logging works for most cases, but for anything that needs to evaluate more than once per request (like a timestamp) log tags are insufficient. Custom Logger alias_method_chain's methods in ActiveSupport's BufferedLogger (Rails 3.x) or SimpleFormatter (Rails 4.x) in order to get a timestamp on each line in the log.

These three items are currently not configurable as it's version 0.0.1 and I'm making this for internal B/R use.
