Add current time before log message

Question

I created a custom logger for my application, called CRON_LOG, just by adding this piece of code to config/environment.rb

CRON_LOG = Logger.new(\"#{Rails.root}/l         


        

Answer 1

You can redefine the proper method (e.g. adding the following to environment.rb or in an initializer):

class Logger
  def format_message(severity, timestamp, progname, msg)
    "#{timestamp} (#{$$}) #{msg}\n"
  end
end

[Caution: this could disrupt other loggers; see Stephen's answer for a safe solution - jph]
