Ruby gem for logging to LogDNA
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'logdna'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install logdna
After installation, call
logger = Logdna::Ruby.new(your_api_key, options)
=> #<Logdna::Ruby:0x00000000000000>
to set up the logger.
Options are optional variables that may contain hostname, app name, mac address, ip address, log level specified.
options = {
:hostname => myHostName,
:ip => myIpAddress,
:mac => myMacAddress,
:app => myAppName,
:level => "INFO", # LOG_LEVELS = ['TRACE', 'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARN', 'ERROR', 'FATAL'] or your customized log level
:env => "PRODUCTION",
:meta => {:once => {:first => "nested1", :another => "nested2"}},
:endpoint => "https://fqdn/logs/ingest"
}
To send logs, use "log" method. Default log level is "INFO"
logger.log('This is my first log')
=> "Saved" # Saved to buffer. Ready to be flushed automatically
Optionally you can use a block to do so
logger.log { 'This is my second log' }
=> "Saved"
Log a message with particular metadata, level, appname, environment (one-time)
logger.log('This is warn message', {:meta => {:meta => "data"}, :level => "WARN", :app => "awesome", :env => "DEVELOPMENT"})
Log a message with lasting metadata, level, appname, environment (lasting)
logger.meta = {:once => {:first => "nested1", :another => "nested2"}}
logger.level = 'FATAL' or logger.level = Logger::FATAL
logger.app = 'NEW APP NAME'
logger.env = 'PRODUCTION'
logger.log('This messages and messages afterwards all have the above values')
Clear current metadata, level, appname, environment
logger.clear
Check current log level:
logger.info? => true
logger.warn? => false
Log a message with a particular level easily
logger.warn('This is a warning message')
logger.fatal('This is a fatal message')
logger.debug { 'This is a debug message' }
Hostname and app name cannot be more than 80 characters.
- This logger assumes that you pass in json formatted data
- This logger is a singleton (do not create mutiple instances of the logger) even though the singleton structure is not strongly enforced.
Instantiates a new instance of the class it is called on. ingestion_key is required.
