Rack::Ougai

Rack::Ougai replaces the Rack logging system with an Ougai logger that supports Bunyan-styled structured logging in JSON. It includes a few options for building those logs, as well as integration with Rack::RequestID.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-ougai'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install rack-ougai

Your config.ru should include directives similar to these. Obviously, Rack::RequestID is optional, but Rack::Ougai::Logger (or another logger provider) should be high in your middleware stack so as to push a logger down into the subsequent middleware.

require 'rack/ougai'
require 'rack/requestid'

use Rack::RequestID # makes sure `env` has an X-Request-Id header

use Rack::Ougai::Logger, Logger::INFO # see Log Providers below
use Rack::Ougai::AttachRequestID # Replaces logger with a child logger that's tagged with the request ID

use Rack::Ougai::LogRequests # logs every request with timing data, request result, etc.

Simple, no-configuration Ougai logger that accepts a Logger severity level.

Specify a preconfigured logger to be used for all requests. For example, in one project I build a global logger, separate from Rack, which is configured via a YAML file; I add it as the top level logger in Rack, too.

require 'myproject/log'

use Rack::Ougai::ConstantLogger, MyProject::Log # an instance of Ougai::Logging
