Logging

[Tim Haines]

Hi there,

John - thanks for pointing me to this list.

I'm using Rufus as part of a rails app. I'm using it to run a query
via ActiveRecord every minute. It's causing my log files to fill up
very fast. (not with exceptions, but with normal AR/SQL log entries)

I'm wondering how I'd disable logging for the scheduled tasks, or use
a different log file for them.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hi Tim,

this isn't really rufus-scheduler related, you should have a look at :

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/search?q=disable+logging&start=0&scoring=d&

It's probably about manipulation the ActiveRecord::Base.logger which
yields an instance of
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/BufferedLogger.html

Setting temporarily

ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level = 5

and then back to its previous value should do the trick, but beware of
other operations running [almost] concurrently.

Hope this helps, best regards,

Hi Tim & John

John pointed you exactly to the right spot. The BufferedLogger in ActiveSupport has a #silence method that you try out. I'm not sure how this will affect actions running concurrently though...

Best
