For what it's worth, I share the original questioners general
unhappiness with Rails default logging format.
It's possible to customize that without too much code, although somewhat
more confusing and under-documented than one might wish, and also seems
to change slightly from one Rails version to the next, for whatever
reasons the precise hooks into Rails logging mechanisms seem to be
somewhat unstable.
Here's how I customize logging in a Rails 2.1.2 app, choosing to use the
Rails2 default "BuferredLogger" for what (I assume) is better efficiency
in disk writes, but with my own output formats. Anyone feel free to let
me know if there's a better way, or if this is easier in subsequent
Rails versions. But it's not too hard (once you figure it out, which
took me a bit of playing around).
In my lib directory, a sub-class of the BufferedLogger that actually
accepts a formatter, as the standard BufferedLogger (at least in 2.1.1)
oddly does not:
http://umlaut.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/umlaut_logger.rb
Then in environment.rb, set the logger and it's formatter:
require_dependency 'umlaut_logger'
severity_level =
ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.const_get(config.log_level.to_s.upcase)
log_file = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "log", "#{RAILS_ENV}.log")
our_logger = UmlautLogger.new(log_file, severity_level)
our_logger.formatter = lambda do |severity_label, msg|
time_fmtd = Time.now.strftime("%d %b %H:%M:%S")
preface = "[#{time_fmtd}] (pid:#{$$}) #{severity_label}: "
# stick our preface AFTER any initial newlines
msg =~ /^(\n+)[^\n]/
index = $1 ? $1.length : 0
return msg.insert(index, preface)
end
config.logger = our_logger

Does anyone have any ideas here??? I no longer have useful Logger
messages. That's very frustrating.
