TaggedLogging

The rails tagged logger is awesome, but it's only available in rails. This gem makes it available for non-rails applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tagged_logging'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tagged_logging

Usage

    logger = TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDERR))

    logger.tagged('MyApplication', Process.pid) do |l|
      l.debug 'Initializing application'

      tagged("Perform") do
        info("performing some task")
      end
    end

The above will print the following:

[2012-12-15T14:52:10+05:30] - INFO - [MyApplication] [11321] - Initializing application
[2012-12-15T14:52:10+05:30] - INFO - [MyApplication] [11321] [Perform] - performing some task

You can also push and pop tags as required to the same effect

    logger = TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDERR))

    logger.push_tags('MyApplication', Po)
      l.debug 'Initializing application'

      tagged("Perform") do
        info("performing some task")
      end
    end
