class ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber

Parent:: Subscriber

ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber is an object set to consume ActiveSupport::Notifications with the sole purpose of logging them. The log subscriber dispatches notifications to a registered object based on its given namespace.

An example would be Active Record log subscriber responsible for logging queries:

module ActiveRecord
  class LogSubscriber < ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber
    def sql(event)
      "#{event.payload[:name]} (#{event.duration}) #{event.payload[:sql]}"
    end
  end
end

And it's finally registered as:

ActiveRecord::LogSubscriber.attach_to :active_record

Since we need to know all instance methods before attaching the log subscriber, the line above should be called after your ActiveRecord::LogSubscriber definition.

After configured, whenever a “sql.active_record” notification is published, it will properly dispatch the event (ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event) to the sql method.

Log subscriber also has some helpers to deal with logging and automatically flushes all logs when the request finishes (via action_dispatch.callback notification) in a Rails environment.

Protected Instance Methods

color(text, color, bold=false) Show source

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/log_subscriber.rb, line 102
def color(text, color, bold=false)
  return text unless colorize_logging
  color = self.class.const_get(color.upcase) if color.is_a?(Symbol)
  bold  = bold ? BOLD : ""
  "#{bold}#{color}#{text}#{CLEAR}"
end

Set color by using a string or one of the defined constants. If a third option is set to true, it also adds bold to the string. This is based on the Highline implementation and will automatically append CLEAR to the end of the returned String.
