Custom logger in Rails 3?

Question

I want to have a custom logger for my application, which of course logs to a different file, someone asked a question: Setting up the logger in rails 3

But I want to have a logger which I can call with my own class name like:

StatusLogger.info "something happend!!!"

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You could do that with this code

logfile = File.open('/path/to/log.log', 'a')  
StatusLogger = Logger.new(logfile)
StatusLogger.info 'Hello World!'

And you would most likely configure this in an initializer file, or you could do it in an environment file if you wanted.

Answer 2

You mean, like having in application.rb:

StatusLogger = ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.new(Rails.root.join('log/status.log'))
