Logging - using a different log for one method

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there's a way to have any log statements generated from a specific method on a model get logged into a separate file from the normal development/production log files?

i.e. I want the whole app to log as normal, apart from the Sprinter.run_often method, which I'd like to log to sprinter_running.log

Cheers,

Tim.

I guess it would be something like

sprinter_log = BufferedLogger.new("sprinter_runner.log")

sprinter_log.log('yay I'm logging')

Hi Ivan,

Thanks - I thought I was probably missing a detail. That will put my own log statements into a new log. But what I'm aiming for is to get AR generated log statements into the separate log file also. Without interfering with whatever other code is running concurrently.

Cheers,

Tim.

Monkey patch ActiveRecord::Base or your base class and override logger

def logger   @logger = BufferedLogger.new('name')

end
