context_logger

In your Gemfile add:

gem 'context_logger'

In your config file (e.g. config/environment.rb) add

ContextLogger.set_destinations(:all)

To configure logging distination replace :all with any subset of:

{
write_rails_log: true,
write_context_log: true,
write_db_log: true
}

e.g. if you want to exclude logging to DB:

ContextLogger.set_destinations({
write_rails_log: true,
write_context_log: true
})

Instead of passing the values that don't change often (e.g. server, ), it's possible to set them using setup method:

ContextLogger.setup({context: :publish, action_id: 1, server: 'myserver.com'})

It's possible to overid them anytime. To see current value of options, just call:

ContextLogger.options

ContextLogger exposes the following methods for logging: :info, :warn, :error, :debug, :fatal And here are the params (with defaults):

message, method, params, stack_trace=nil, action_id=nil, context=nil ,server=nil

An example of logging a warning message:

ContextLogger.warn('Just another message', :store_data, {data:{a:1, b:2}}, "'Range.detach' is now a no-op, as per DOM (http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-range-detach).", 1)

In order to write the log also to db_log, you should set it using set_destination method:

ContextLogger.set_destinations({
...
write_db_log: true,
...
})

The log entries from the DB are available via HTTP API:
