Clogger is Rack middleware for logging HTTP requests. The log format
is customizable so you can specify exactly which fields to log.

Changes:

### 0.0.4 / 2009-09-02

The pure Ruby version now escapes with uppercase A-F
characters to match nginx log output. There are now extra
checks against badly behaving Rack applications and 500
errors will be logged before TypeError is raised if the
application response does not conform (minimally) to Rack
expectations. Finally, handling of $request (requests
without "HTTP_VERSION" set in the Rack env) should now be
logged correctly without unnecessary trailing characters.

Hackers: the primary git repository has been moved to
git://git.bogomips.org/clogger.git for now since I'm having
issues with pushing to Rubyforge (seems related to Support
Requests item #26185).

Is it possible to make Clogger using Logging class?

If you mean Logger, then yes, you can specify anything that responds to
"<<" as your :logger parameter:

use Clogger, :logger => Logger.new("/path/to/log")

No, I mean Logging:

"Logging is a flexible logging library for use in Ruby programs based on th=

How to set the Logger debug level there?


Thanks a lot.

It seems to support the "<<" parameter, so I would say yes, it does
work. If you run into any issues, let me know.

You can always create the object first and set whatever options you want:

logger = Logger.new("/path/to/log")
logger.level = Logger:EBUG
use Clogger, :logger => logger

Of course, the "<<" method Clogger uses internally bypasses level checks
in Logger (same as Rack::CommonLogger)

=46or example, Logging has "<<" method, but it's a limited one:

=2D--------------------------------------------
log << "message"
=20
Log the given message without any formatting and without performing any lev=
el=20
checks. The message is logged to all appenders. The message is passed up th=
e=20
logger tree if this logger=E2=80=98s additivity is true.

s/parameter/method/, of course

For request logging, the point of using "<<" is to avoid formatting done
by the Logger. Both Rack::CommonLogger and Clogger already do their own
timestamps and other formatting features (Clogger being highly
configurable)).

So you really don't get much benefit from using any Logging/Logger
object over a File object unless you need builtin log rotation[1]
or you want userspace buffering[2].


[1] - which doesn't work if you're using multiple processes anyways,
logrotate is a better solution.

[2] - which means you lose data if your application dies unexpectedly

What I want to achieve are unified logs (same file and same format).
I've already set my Logging instance (for manual logging) and want that Rac=
k=20
via Clogger (and also DataMapper) uses the same file and same format.

I expect that I just must configure (or code) the format both Clogger and=20
DataMapper use when invoking "<<" method, right?

The fact is I've already both Clogger and DataMapper logging via the Loggin=
g=20
instance (so to the same file), I just need to edit the format to make it=20
match,

Yes, I always use Linux logrotate system rather than the built-in applicati=
on=20
log rotation.

Thanks a lot.
