log_level question

rubyonrails-talk

Could someone point me to the valid values for log_level? I can’t find anything but :debug and :info.

I’m trying to turn off logging of the params values. Is that possible? Or do I have to turn off logging of the request / response altogether? I assume I could to that pointing the log to /dev/null. Yes?

Thanks,

Bill

This might be a little more than what you’re asking - but the customizations look to be just the ticket:

Thanks much for your reply. I'd read through that already article and was hoping there might be another setting for the default logger that I just didn't know about. I'm not sure what my hosting service will let me do wrt changing the logger.

Best regards, Bill

My bad on two counts. 1) the logger is in Ruby, not Rails. 2) the article had a link to the Ruby doc on logger. The answer my question about valid logging levels is at Index of Classes & Methods in logger: Ruby Standard Library Documentation (Ruby 3.1.2)

hth someone in the future.

In addition to Jodi's answer, you might also have a look at ActionController::Base.filter_parameter_logging method to filter params values.

See :

Logging is important, you shouldn't disable it completely imho.

Thank you very much for that. I hadn't discovered that method before and, with a little experimenting, it may be just the thing. I really don't want to turn off logging; just get rid of the params values in the log.

Best regards, Bill
