stop a request from appearing in the logs

[nahum]

we have a url that HAProxy hits to confirm each app instance is up. this tends to fill up our logs - anyone know of a simple way to stop an action from logging at all?

cheers,

nahum

Would this work? http://dennisreimann.de/blog/silencing-the-rails-log-on-a-per-action-basis/

(I'd also investigate whether you could implement this endpoint as a rack middleware, or using Metal (if you're on Rails 3) if you don't need the full stack, as I don't think requests to rack middleware get logged?)

We use metal.  It's faster too - less CPU wasted going through the stack when we don't need to.

with Rails 3, it should be as simple as inheriting from ActionController::Metal and re-adding modules as you need it.

with Rails 2, just using metal should preclude logging.

In your controller:

def logger

  unless params['action'] == 'monitor'

    RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER

  end

end

If your app controller / authentication etc does any logging (via a before_filter) this will have to be silenced too.

Thanks for all the quick replies!

As always the simple solution of using Metal I think is spot on, rather than trying to override logging etc....
