Rails - Jan 2006 - Lowering Logging Sensitivity

Is there a way to reduce logging when in production? I''m not terribly  
interested in the items that return status 200. I would like to limit  
the production logs to simply application errors and "explosions".

By default, the logging level in production is ''info''.  If you
raise this to
''warn'', the per-request spew goes away.

In your ''config/environments/production.rb:

  config.log_level = :warn


One problem with this is that, when an error occurs, you will have missed
the action and its parameters being logged - you''ll only get the error
stack
trace.

Good to know, thank you.

I figured I''d miss the surrounding parameters, but in this case I  
think it''s worth it. I''ve got Loggers set up to throw more  
descriptive errors when stuff goes boom. The application is an online  
chat tool with a bazillion automated ajax requests. Figured it was  
either turn down the per-request or I''d be running log cleanings  
every hour.

If you want the size of your logfiles to be predictable.
