ServiceLogger

Structured Logging for micro services.

Installation

Add the following lines to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'service_logger', git: "westfieldlabs/service_logger"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Service Integration - Basics

  • Step 1 - Add initializer/service_logger.rb

      ServiceLogger.configure do |config|
        config.service_name = "name_of_service" # Example: event_service
      end
  • Step 2 - Add the following to the Application Controller

      include ServiceLogger
  • Step 3 - Add the following to config/environments/development.rb (if you want ) and/or config/environments/production.rb

      #Supports Structured logging
      config.log_level = :info
      config.log_tags = [ :uuid,  lambda { |request| Time.now.utc } ]

Service Integration for Analytics - [ Optional ]

  • Step 3a - Add service_log method to relevant controllers (This is OPTIONAL)

      service_log("action_and_controller_name", { data_from_service })

    Example

      service_log('show_event', { event: @event })

Results

  • Logs should be cleaner and contain the following:
  # Example output for basic logging
  [aabf54d4-40a0-4082-a385-46d146006544] [2016-03-16 00:22:33 UTC] {"method":"GET","path":"/events","format":"json","controller":"api/v1/events","action":"index","status":200,"duration":80.08,"view":43.54,"db":12.6,"service_name":"event_service","environment":"development", params:{"name": "Bespoke Tech Talk" "sensitive_field": "[FILTERED]"}}
  # Example output with OPTIONAL logging to support analytics (Step 3a)
  [7450d124-cc42-434a-952e-09ff08f50044] [2016-03-16 00:20:45 UTC] [analytics] {"service_name":"event_service","environment":"development","event":"index_of_events","event_details":{"events_count":10}}

Rake Task Logger

You can log your rake tasks by following the example

  # Add this 3 first lines to enable the logger
  require 'task_logger'

  Rake::TaskManager.record_task_metadata = true
  include TaskLogger

  namespace :demo do
    desc "Test rake"
    task :test => :environment do |t, args|
      task_log(t, args) do
       # your code here
      end
    end
  end
  # Example output for rake task logging
  [analytics] {"service_name":"PeopleAccessService::Application","environment":{"name":"development"},"version":"1.3.0","event":"RAKE_TASK","event_details":{"task_name":"demo:test","arguments":["some arguments"],"starts_at":"2016-10-14T16:40:34-03:00","ends_at":"2016-10-14T16:40:34-03:00","duration":1.0001357,"errors":{"message":"Error Message","error_type":"Error Type"}}}
