Question

I would like to use the built-in Logger for some actions and log4r for some others… the Guides explain that the logger is set in application-level config files, for example:

Rails.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
Rails.logger = Log4r::Logger.new("Application Log")

Is there a way to set this at the controller or model level?

Answer 1

You can always code a custom logger:

• send everything to Logger for some actions;
• send everything to Log4r for other actions;
• and silence logging for everything else;
