How can I disable logging in Ruby on Rails on a per-action basis?

Question

I have a Rails application that has an action invoked frequently enough to be inconvenient when I am developing, as it results in a lot of extra log output I don't care about. How can I get rails not to log anything (controller, action, parameters, completion time, etc.) for just this one action? I'd like to conditionalize it on RAILS_ENV as well, so logs in production are complete.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can silence the Rails logger object:

def action
  Rails.logger.silence do
    # Things within this block will not be logged...
  end
end

Answer 2

Use lograge gem.

Gemfile:

gem 'lograge'

config/application.rb:

config.lograge.enabled = true
config.lograge.ignore_actions = ['StatusController#nginx', ...]
