Logging to default Rails log file as well as Loggly? about logglier

[katerynkas]

Have you figured this out? What version of rails are you using?

[manuelmeurer]

Nope. :( Rails 4.2

I setup a default rails site and used the provided instructions and it works in that when I run bin/rails server I get logs to both STDOUT and to the destination (a local test service) specified in the loggly.rb file. However the logs were not formatted as :json.

Can you explain exactly what is not working?

[freeformz]

The messages aren't being formatted as json because rails isn't passing them in as a hash.

logglier/lib/logglier/client.rb

Line 63 in fd709b1

if @format == :json && msg.is_a?(Hash)

[freeformz]

So I don't consider the fact that it's not json a bug atm, given that the rails logger serializes the logs to a string already.

Ok thanks, good to know! Might be worth adding this to the README or Loggly's account setup page for new users. I have since moved on to another logging service.
