Console

Provides beautiful console logging for Ruby applications. Implements fast, buffered log output.

Development Status

Motivation

When Ruby decided to reverse the order of exception backtraces, I finally gave up using the built in logging and decided restore sanity to the output of my programs once and for all!

Features

  • Thread safe global logger with per-fiber context.
  • Carry along context with nested loggers.
  • Enable/disable log levels per-class.
  • Detailed logging of exceptions.
  • Beautiful logging to the terminal or structured logging using JSON.
