Logger that writes to logworm

logworm_logger.rb

class LogwormLogger < ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger
  def initialize(level = DEBUG)
    super Logworm::Logger, level
  end
end

class Logworm::Logger
  def self.write(msg)
    table = defined?(Rails) ? "#{Rails.env}_logger" : 'logger'
    log table, :msg => msg
  end
end

production.rb

config.logger = LogwormLogger.new config.log_level

A first stab at using Logworm to log the Rails logger messages. Completely untested at this point. Just an experiment.

• We subclass ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger as that is what Rails uses. The question is should we use the standard Ruby Logger instead as we probably really don't need buffering (I think LogWorm does that for us).
• All BufferedLogger needs is something it can call :write on (usually a file). So we monkey-patch the Logworm::Logger class to have that method and internally call the normal method to log a message. We incorporate the Rails environment in the table name to keep messages distinct. Should we include other info automatically such as the controller, action, etc. What about allowing the application to specify custom info (such as the current logged in user). That additional info might make searching easier later.
