Install & Use

Install CouchDB on a server that your application has access to.

Install the current version of the plugin:

  script/plugin install git://github.com/ads/couchlog.git

Install the couchrest gem

Require CouchLog in your config before the initializer:

  # config/environment.rb
  require 'couch_log'

Set the level of logging that you want for your app inside of the initializer:

  config.log_level = ENV['RAILS_ENV']=='production' ?
                                 ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger::Severity::INFO :
                                 ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger::Severity::DEBUG

Just below config.log_level, Initialize the plugin:

  config.logger = CouchLog.new(config.log_path, config.log_level)

Set the location of the database in the config file

  #config/couchlog.yml
  server = YOUR_SERVER_HERE
