Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'logput'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install logput

Inside you rails app. Add the following line to config/development.rb and/or any other environment you wish to use this in.

config.middleware.use(Logput::Middleware)

The following configuration options are available.

:path_to_log_file => '/path/to/custom/log'. Defaults to current environments log file if in rails.
:lines_to_read => 1000. Defaults to 500.

Example.

config.middleware.use(Logput::Middleware, :lines_to_read => 300, :path_to_log_file => './log/delayed_job')

Start your rails server as normal in the set environment. Navigate to /logput e.g. http://localhost:3000/logput

It is possible to overide the location of the log files by using the following environment variables:

LOG_NAME - The name of the log file, e.g. development - .log will be appended to this. If unset logput will try to use RAILS_ENV or RACK_ENV as a fallback
LOG_LOCATION_DIR - The directory where the log file is located, e.g. logs - a / will be added when combined with the log name.

The overrides will only be used if both are present (or the fallbacks in the case of the log name).
