Can Logstash Work With Ruby on rails?

Question

Has anyone gotten Logstash working with ruby on rails?

My client is telling to use Logstash for log collector etc. I am using ruby on rails technology. most of the part is almost done. But requirement is to get logs into logstash.

Please let me know Is it possible,how?

Answer 1

I wrote a gem for the same - logstasher . It writes rails logs in a separate file, in pure json format which can be consumed by logstash without any processing.

See my blog for complete instructions on how to setup Logstash and Kibana

Answer 2

Here is a gist link on integrating logstash. Also, there is logstash-lite, a ruby gem and the subsequent github project might shed some light on it if you want to roll your own and not trust the gem
