Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone. Like Adam, sending log data to a third-party is problematic for us. That pretty much rules out service-based solutions. I was hoping to find a solution like syslog, but that handles multiline log entries a little more gracefully.
I talked to another friend who works at a Rails shop out of Toronto, and he said they're still using file-based logging and simply prepending each log entry with the PID of the process writing to the log. I think I'm probably going to go that route, then write a simple toolchain that can reconstruct log files and serialize entries for specific date ranges. Like most, we only need logs when something goes wrong, so it's almost always a forensic endeavor. -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
