remote_logger

DESCRIPTION:

Log server/client with sensible defaults that can be used for remote/centralized logging.

FEATURES:

Log4r is a customizable logger with advanced functionality. Unfortunately, it only supports (rarely used) ROMP protocol for remote logging support. This project aims to improve remote logging by creatting a wrapper around Log4r that:

  • Exposes Log4r functionality remotely through multiple protocols

  • Writes to (log server) stdout AND log file ‘remote.log’ by default

  • Allows client to use Drb uri or Ring server to find the logger service

PROBLEMS/TODO:

  • TODO: add AMQP rpc support

    Work in progress, please do not use it just yet…

INSTALL:

sudo gem install remote_logger

SYNOPSIS:

server:


include RemoteLogger
start_drb_logger [options] # or,
start_ringy_logger [options]

client:


include RemoteLogger
log = find_drb_logger [options] # or,
log = find_ringy_logger [options]
log.info 'This is my log message'

REQUIREMENTS:

  • FIXME (list of requirements)

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
