Question

Answer 1

Both Sidekiq and Rails use Logger compliant classes from the Ruby StdLib.

You should be able to re-configure the Rails logger to use the Sidekiq logger in the Sidekiq server config block. Find/create a file like config/inititializers/sidekiq.rb:

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  Rails.logger = Sidekiq::Logging.logger

  # Sidekiq other server config
  ...
end

The block passed to the Sidekiq.configure_server call is only executed within the Server component of the Sidekiq backend, not within the client running in your Rails app server or console.
