Overview

Logger is a thread safe logging object. It has a compatible API with the Ruby standard library Logger class, the Log4r gem, and ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.

Example

logger = Lumberjack::Logger.new
logger.info("Starting processing")
logger.debug("Processing options #{options.inspect}")
logger.fatal("OMG the application is on fire!")

Log entries are written to a logging Device if their severity meets or exceeds the log level.

Devices may use buffers internally and the log entries are not guaranteed to be written until you call the flush method. Sometimes this can result in problems when trying to track down extraordinarily long running sections of code since it is likely that none of the messages logged before the long running code will appear in the log until the entire process finishes. You can set the :flush_seconds option on the constructor to force the device to be flushed periodically. This will create a new monitoring thread, but its use is highly recommended.

Each log entry records the log message and severity along with the time it was logged, the program name, process id, and unit of work id. The message will be converted to a string, but otherwise, it is up to the device how these values are recorded. Messages are converted to strings using a Formatter associated with the logger.

Constructor Details

#initialize(device = $stdout, options = {}) ⇒ Logger

Create a new logger to log to a Device.

The device argument can be in any one of several formats.

If it is a Device object, that object will be used. If it has a write method, it will be wrapped in a Device::Writer class. If it is :null, it will be a Null device that won’t record any output. Otherwise, it will be assumed to be file path and wrapped in a Device::LogFile class.

This method can take the following options:

  • :level - The logging level below which messages will be ignored.

  • :formatter - The formatter to use for outputting messages to the log.

  • :datetime_format - The format to use for log timestamps.

  • :tag_formatter - The TagFormatter to use for formatting tags.

  • :progname - The name of the program that will be recorded with each log entry.

  • :flush_seconds - The maximum number of seconds between flush calls.

  • :roll - If the log device is a file path, it will be a Device::DateRollingLogFile if this is set.

  • :max_size - If the log device is a file path, it will be a Device::SizeRollingLogFile if this is set.

All other options are passed to the device constuctor.

Parameters:

  • device (Lumberjack::Device, Object, Symbol, String) (defaults to: $stdout)

    The device to log to.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    The options for the logger.

#silence(temporary_level = ERROR, &block) ⇒ Object

Silence the logger by setting a new log level inside a block. By default, only ERROR or FATAL messages will be logged.

#tag(tags, &block) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Set a hash of tags on logger. If a block is given, the tags will only be set for the duration of the block. If this method is called inside such a block, the tags will only be defined on the tags in that block. When the parent block exits, all the tags will be reverted. If there is no block, then the tags will be defined as global and apply to all log statements.

Parameters:

  • tags (Hash)

#tagged_logger!Lumberjack::Logger

Enable this logger to function like an ActiveSupport::TaggedLogger. This will make the logger API compatible with ActiveSupport::TaggedLogger and is provided as a means of compatibility with other libraries that assume they can call the ‘tagged` method on a logger to add tags.

The tags added with this method are just strings so they are stored in the logger tags in an array under the “tagged” tag. So calling ‘logger.tagged(“foo”, “bar”)` will result in tags `=> [“foo”, “bar”]`.

Returns:

#unknown(message_or_progname_or_tags = nil, progname_or_tags = nil, &block) ⇒ void
