Silencer is a simple rack-middleware for Rails that can selectively disable logging on per-action basis. It's based on a blog post by Dennis Reimann.
Just add silencer to your Gemfile:
gem 'silencer'
In your production environment (presumably):
require 'silencer/logger'
config.middleware.swap Rails::Rack::Logger, Silencer::Logger, :silence => ["/noisy/action.json"]
Or if you'd prefer, you can pass it regular expressions:
config.middleware.swap Rails::Rack::Logger, Silencer::Logger, :silence => [%r{^/assets/}]
Silencer's logger will serve as a drop-in replacement for Rails' default logger. It will not suppress any logging by default, simply pass it an array of urls via the options hash. You can also send it a 'X-SILENCE-LOGGER' header (with any value) with your request and that will also produce the same behavior.
Rails 2.3.x introduced a tagged logging feature. If you are using tagged logging with Rails 2.3 you can also pass taggers via the middleware:
config.middleware.swap Rails::Rack::Logger, Silencer::Logger, config.log_tags, :silence => [%r{^/assets/}]
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
