Log rotating informer
Lars Olsson
I grew a little bit tired of reading my long Informer logs so I decided
to create a customized Informer class that creates multiple logs based
on time. Please welcome the RotatingInformer.
The RotatingInformer works mostly like the ordinary Informer class but
there are some differences:
* The RotatingInformer works on files only. No stdout, stderr etc.
* When creating the RotatingInformer you specify a directory instead of
a file to log to. All log files will be created in this directory.
* You specify how often you want to rotate files by specifying the time
format should be used. For example, if you specify the format
"errors_%Y-%m-%d.log" you will get one log file each day (named
errors_2008-09-14.log, errors_2008-09-15.log and so on. If you specify
the format "errors_%Y-%m-%d %H %M.log" you will get a new log file every
minute.
* The RotatingInformer only creates files when it needs to. No activity
on the server means no log files.
Please let me know what you think. It only a first try, suggestions for
improvements are most welcome.
Thanks

something wrong with the attached file)

you should look into the logging gem, it does this and much much
more. might be less maintenance long term to wrap that in an informer
class.
cheers.

we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of being
better. simply reflect on that.
