MonoLogger

Ruby's stdlib Logger wraps all IO in mutexes. Ruby 2.0 doesn't allow you to request a lock in a trap handler because that could deadlock. This gem fixes this issue by giving you a lock-free logger class.

If you've ever seen log writing failed. can't be called from trap context, you're in the right place!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mono_logger'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mono_logger

Usage

It's simple, just use MonoLogger anywhere you'd use Logger:

require 'logger'


logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.level = Logger::WARN

logger.debug("Created logger")
logger.info("Program started")
logger.warn("Nothing to do!")

Turns into

require 'mono_logger'


logger = MonoLogger.new(STDOUT)
logger.level = MonoLogger::WARN

logger.debug("Created logger")
logger.info("Program started")
logger.warn("Nothing to do!")

That's it! No more errors!
