I am trying to setup central_logger (https://github.com/customink/central_logger) to my heroku app. Can someone please point me to a tutorial or lay out steps on how I can achieve this? The readme is quite clear but doesn’t say anything about heroku integration except for point 4 which says

For use with Heroku you need to prevent the rails_log_stdout plugin from being added by Heroku:
mkdir vendor/plugins/rails_log_stdout
touch vendor/plugins/rails_log_stdout/.gitkeep

I dont quite understand this without some more context. It will be much appreciated.

APologies if the question is ambiguous.

Thanks!

    The discussion on this pull request should help.

    Basically, Heroku automatically injects rails_log_stdout, as you can see in the output from doing a git push:

    -----> Rails plugin injection
       Injecting rails_log_stdout
       Injecting rails3_serve_static_assets

    You have to tell Heroku not to inject rails_log_stdout by making that plugin:

    mkdir vendor/plugins/rails_log_stdout
touch vendor/plugins/rails_log_stdout/.gitkeep

    You should also be using a Heroku-compatible version of central_logger. I use Heroku and keep my fork working: https://github.com/turadg/central_logger/
