captivity¶ ↑

Captivity is a simplistick Rack middleware for capturing and logging exceptions and requests. It atcs like a wrapper for the Rack CommonLogger, but it fixes it’s incompatibility with the Logger interface (request logs will be logged as INFO messages).

In your rackup file, grab a logger (you can configure it dynamically) and feed it to the Captivity middleware

logger = if ENV['RACK_ENV'] == 'production'
  Le.new('<YOUR_LOGENTRIES_KEY>', 'myserver/webapp1')
else
  Logger.new(STDERR)
end
logger.level = Logger::INFO
use Captivity, logger

Then, in your app, use the passed Logger object by using the “captivity.logger” env variable:

def logger
  env["captivity.logger"]
end

...
logger.warn("Bad things are-a happenin'!")

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet.

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it.

• Fork the project.

• Start a feature/bugfix branch.

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
