Streamlog

Streamlog is a Rails Mountable Engine. It streams rails application log to the browser. It is an alternative to Browserlog. Browserlog is based on polling while streamlog streams the log.

Simply add it to your Gemfile

gem 'streamlog'

And then mount this rails engine on config/routes.rb

Rails.application.routes.draw do  
  mount Streamlog::Engine => '/streamlog'  
end

This will make the log available at domain/streamlog. Make sure to authenticate this route.

Create streamlog.rb in config/initializers, and add the following line in it.

Streamlog.engine_layout = false

Then add the following lines in your application layout head tag

<% yield :title %>
<% yield :head %>

This way, streamlog will use your application layout while rendering streamlog view.

You will need to install passenger with nginx/apache on your local machine to achieve concurrency and be able to test streamlog. GoRails is a guide to setup Passenger with nginx.
