配置log4r

application.rb

### 修改config/application.rb
require 'rails/all'
# add these line for log4r
require 'log4r'
require 'log4r/yamlconfigurator'
require 'log4r/outputter/datefileoutputter'

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)
module Zurich
  class Application < Rails::Application
    #...
    # assign log4r's logger as rails' logger.
    include Log4r
    log4r_config= YAML.load_file(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),"log4r.yml"))
    YamlConfigurator.decode_yaml( log4r_config['log4r_config'] )
    config.logger = Log4r::Logger[Rails.env]
  end
end

log4r.yml

### 新建一个log4r的配置文件： config/log4r.yml
log4r_config:
  # define all loggers ...
  loggers:
    - name      : production
      level     : WARN
      trace     : 'false'
      outputters :
      - datefile
    - name      : development
      level     : DEBUG
      trace     : 'true'
      outputters :
      - datefile

  # define all outputters (incl. formatters)
  outputters:
  - type: DateFileOutputter
    name: datefile
    dirname: "log"
    filename: "my_app.log" # notice the file extension is needed!
    formatter:
      date_pattern: '%H:%M:%S'
      pattern     : '%d %l: %m '
      type        : PatternFormatter

log4r_patch_for_rails4.rb

### 新建文件：config/initializers/log4r_patch_for_rails4.rb
class Log4r::Logger
  def formatter()
  end
end
