timestamps on log files

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello people,   I'm currently reading the innards of Arel and ActiveRecord and thought of modifying the   ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger to automatically prepend a timestamp on each log entry.   Would be very useful for a project I'm currently developing.

  I'm going to make it a configurable option in applications.rb, something like:

  config.logger.timestamps => true

  Is there any interest in having this in the rails core?   If it is, I could easily submit a patch. I have contributed to ActiveRecord in the past.[1]

  Let me know what you think.

Regards, Sebastian.

+1 -- I did that once myself for a project, but it was hard-wired.

Configurable sounds good :slight_smile:

I'd like to see it added.
