How to use Rails 3.0's new notification system to inject custom log events

Instrument Anything in Rails 3

With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at Mon Sep 06 01:07:11 -0400 2010

all time views across system for http://gaug.es
# How we store all time views across the entire system for http://gauge.es.
# All in one document that gets incremented using MongoDB $inc modifier in
# every track. The $inc increments t, year.t, year.month.t, year.month.day.t
# so we get to the day numbers. These are in EST, as we are in EST and these
# stats are just for us. :) Nothing amazing, but thought I would share.

Fun way to memoize with blocks. It would be sweet if objc had decorators.
#define _MEMO(iVarName, block) ^{if (!iVarName) {iVarName = (block)();} return iVarName;}
- (UIButton *)eatCheeseButton;

return _MEMO(eatCheeseButton, ^{
return [[UIButton alloc] init];
