RailsLogParser

This gem helps you to quick analyse your server logs without external monitor servers. Simple applications with a low number of requests cause only a low number of errors. So you can call a cronjob to analyse your logs periodly. If the summary is not empty your server will email you the result automaticly.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_log_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_log_parser

Usage

Sets your server log path:

RailsLogParser::Parser.log_path = Rails.root.join('log/production.log')

Call the rake tasks in cronjobs:

LOG_PATH=/srv/rails/log/production.log
0,20,40 * * * * rake rails_log_parser:parse[22]'      # summary of the last 22 minutes

Or use it in your code:

parser = RailsLogParser::Parser.from_file(log_path)
puts parser.actions.select(&:fatal?).map(&:headline)

parser = RailsLogParser::Parser.from_file(log_path)
print parser.summary(last_minutes: 22)          # print summary for the last 22 minutes

You can configure filters:

# config/rails_log_parser.rb

RailsLogParser.configure do |parser|
  parser.ignore_lines = [
    /Error performing MailerConfigurationJob .+ Net::ReadTimeout/,
  ]
end
