Sometimes, I want more logs to show me the process or some important informations generated by our application. I tried to use default Logger to generate logs in default Rails logs. Then, you would be tired of finding your log in the massive default log file Even though you can use tools like Logentries, but you may still think it's not convinent. B/C we may want to report the logs to someone by email. If you're suffering from what I said above, I think "custom_log_generator" is the gem you want. You can define as many log files as you like in config file. Then, for each file it will generate a custom logger for you. For details, please refer to #usage part.
This gem can only be used by combining with Rails project.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'custom_log_generator'And then execute:
$ bundle
After you finished the installation by bundle. You need to run:
$ rake custom_log:install
After doing this, you will get two file:
- config/custom_logs.yml
- config/initializers/generate_custom_logger.rb
Then, you need to declare the logs you want in the config file "custom_logs.yml"
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
