Add current time before log message

Question

I created a custom logger for my application, called CRON_LOG, just by adding this piece of code to config/environment.rb

CRON_LOG = Logger.new(\"#{Rails.root}/l         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to make a SysLog-formatted logger is to assign a formatter directly:

logger = Logger.new Rails.root.join('path', 'to', 'log')
logger.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new
logger.info 'Hello, world!'
# Writes:
#
#   I, [2011-06-02T20:02:34.579501 #15444]  INFO -- : Hello, world!
