MojoLogger

This gem is a wrapper around log4j and is primarily meant to be used in the Mojo framework. It will standardize logs accross Mojo applications and provide a single location to edit the Mojo Logger code base. It comes with a few benefits:

JSON Logs will be printed for nice splunk logging when the mojo_* methods are called.
No need for a log4j.properties file (although you can use one if you prefer). You can configure the logger on the fly and this gem will build a StringIO object to mock the log4j.properties file

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mojo_logger'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mojo_logger

Usage

Simple access to a CONSOLE appender:

require 'mojo_logger'

MojoLogger.debug "This is a message"
#=> This is a message

Mojo Formatted JSON logs

require 'mojo_logger'

api_request = {
    session_id: '111111-11111',
    reference_id: 'client',
    api: 'get-user-info'
}

MojoLogger.mojo_warn(api_request, "Oops", "Some Warn Message")
#=> {"time":"08-25-2015 19:22:59.940 +0000","app":"Mojo","session_id":"111111-11111","reference_id":"client","api":"get-user-info","category":"Oops","message":"Some Warn Message"}

Mojo Formatted JSON logs with cusom keys

require 'mojo_logger'

api_request = {
    session_id: '111111-11111',
    reference_id: 'client',
    api: 'get-user-info'
}

MojoLogger.mojo_warn(api_request, "Oops", "Some Warn Message", {my_key: "Some value", my_other_key: :another_val})
#=> {"time":"08-25-2015 19:24:57.575 +0000","app":"Mojo","session_id":"111111-11111","reference_id":"client","api":"get-user-info","category":"Oops","message":"Some Warn Message","my_key":"Some value","my_other_key":"another_val"}

Configuration

CONSOLE appender with "WARN" log level

require 'mojo_logger'

MojoLogger.config do |config|
  config.default_log_level = :warn
end

MojoLogger.debug "This won't show up"
#=> nil

MojoLogger.warn "This will show up"
#=> This will show up

Rolling File appender

This will create a rolling file logger rather than a console logger with the following settings: Max File Size = 10MB Max Backup Index = 10 Pattern = '%n %m %n' (I need to change this but this is what it is for now.)

require 'mojo_logger'

MojoLogger.config do |config|
  config.log_file = '/var/log/my_log.log'
end

Add Custom lines to the generated log4j.properties 'file'

require 'mojo_logger'

MojoLogger.config do |config|
  config.custom_line("log4j.logger.org.apache.zookeeper.ClientCnxn=INFO")
end

Add Custom adapter for format your logs

Add an adapter that will accept whatever fields you want to input and output a hash. This hash will be converted to json by MojoLogger.

require 'mojo_logger'
include MojoLogger

ENV['RACK_ENV'] = 'development'

# by default you use the standard adapter

mojo_debug({}, 'category', 'this is my message', { custom: :field })
# => {"time":"04-01-2016 22:25:33.019 +0000","app":"Mojo","env":"development","session_id":null,"reference_id":null,"api":null,"category":"category","message":"this is my message","custom":"field"}

class CustomLogAdapter
  # an adapter must repond to #format() and return a Hash
  def format(message)
    {
      'message'     => message,
      'constant'    => 'Hello!'
    }
  end
end


MojoLogger.config do |config|
  config.adapter = CustomLogAdapter.new
end

# now you can call the #mojo_* methods with the parameter you define

mojo_debug('my message')
# => {"time":"04-01-2016 22:26:43.441 +0000","app":"Mojo","env":"development","message":"my message","constant":"Hello!"}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
