ConciseLogging

Concise request logging for Rails production

Logs a concise single line for each request at :warn level. This allows logging requests without all the extra logging that :info level outputs.

Not suitable for development but ideal for production settings where each request and associated parameters is logged.

Inspired by a blog post on RubyJunky.com.

Special thanks to Zohreh Jabbari for doing the initial coding and proof of concept.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'concise_logging'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install concise_logging

Usage

Add this to your config/production.rb. Configure tagging as per your desires. We use tagging to indicate application with a 2 letter code and environment with a single letter (e.g., p = production, s = staging).

# Configure logger to log warn and above
config.log_level = :warn
config.log_tags = ["cv-#{Rails.env[0]}"]
config.logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(ActiveSupport::Logger.new(File.join(Rails.root, "log", "#{Rails.env}.log")))

If you want to try the logger in development than you have to manually add the middleware and attach the log subscriber by adding these lines in your config/development.rb file. These lines are not needed for production.

Rails.application.middleware.use ConciseLogging::LogMiddleware
ConciseLogging::LogSubscriber.attach_to :action_controller
