RestashRails
This gem is sending Json structured logs from your Rails app to destination you define.
We propose Logstash as a receiver.
Logs sent via TCP socket with timeout, you'll define or with default of 10ms
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'restash_rails'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install restash_rails
Usage
Data is written to host and port you provide via configs. We open TCP socket with timeout option you provide. We send it in json format. So the logstash is one of the receivers you can use, without any special config. We also let you to path yours app custom exceptions and there statuses. If you not, gem won't be possible to translate an exception to an appropriate status. As a result, some responses will be logged without an exception status Pay attention that we won't let you override Rails native exceptions statuses.
In application.rb
#Restahs rails won't work unless you enable it
config.restash_rails.enabled = true
#If you want to leave original Rails Logs
config.restash_rails.keep_original_logs = true
#Host and port the data will be sent to
config.restash_rails.host = '127.0.0.1'
config.restash_rails.port = '9200'
#TCP Timeout options
config.restash_rails.timeout_options = {connect_timeout: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, write_timeout: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, read_timeout: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT}
#exception_statuses
error_401 = {:status => 401, :types => [Exceptions::AccessDenied, Exceptions::MyException]}
error_422 = {:status => 422, :types => [Exceptions::InvalidParams]}
config.exception_statuses = [error_401, error_422]
All those configs can also be paassed as yaml file
RESTASH_RAILS_CONF = YAML::load(PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG_FILE)
config.restash_rails = RESTASH_RAILS_CONF[Rails.env]
