Logcraft::Sidekiq

Logcraft::Sidekiq is a structured logging solution for Sidekiq, using the Logcraft gem. It supports (and is tested with) Sidekiq 6 and 7.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logcraft-sidekiq'

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logcraft-sidekiq'

and call

Logcraft::Sidekiq.initialize

any time during your application's startup.

Logcraft::Sidekiq configures the Sidekiq.logger to be an instance of a Logcraft logger by the name of Sidekiq, providing all the structured logging features that Logcraft provides, like logging complex messages, errors, etc. The logger uses the same default log level that was configured for Logcraft.

Logcraft::Sidekiq logs relevant information about every job run in a compact, structured format.

• It emits two log messages per job run; one when the job is started and another one when the job is finished (successfully or unsuccessfully).
• It measures the time it took to execute the job and appends the benchmark information to the final log message.
• It adds all basic information about the job (worker, queue, JID, BID, tags, created_at, enqueued_at, run_count) to the log context so all log messages emitted during the execution of the job will contain this information.
• It also adds all of the job's parameters (by name) to the log context under the params key, which means that all log messages emitted during the execution of the job will contain this information as well.

class TestWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform(customer_id)
    logger.warn 'Customer not found'
  end
end

TestWorker.perform_async 42

Logcraft::Sidekiq sets up an error and death handler for your jobs automatically, replacing the built-in error handler. If a job finishes with an error then it is logged at WARN level (assuming it will be retried) and death events are logged at ERROR level. Both messages are single line events, containing all relevant information about the error.

Sidekiq supports setting a log level per worker but Logcraft::Sidekiq ignores this feature. Supporting it would lead to a lot of complexity in the code and frankly, I'm not convinced it's worth it. If you really need and use this feature then please reach out to me. In the meantime, the workaround is quite simple:

# Instead of this:
class TestWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker
  sidekiq_options log_level: :warn
end

# Do this:
class TestWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform
    logger = Logcraft.logger self, :warn
    # ...
  end
end
