How could I silence the logs in rails server?

[tarmo]

Hi, this issue likely happens because when silence_logger gets called in a nested context the nested call will reset the logger level before the parent call has finished and thus anything that happens in that window after the nested call returned and the parent call hasn't will have no silencing applied.

The silence_logger method should be storing the previous thread_level and restoring that instead of always assigning nil to it: https://github.com/rails/activerecord-session_store/blob/master/lib/active_record/session_store/extension/logger_silencer.rb#L49

• What version of the gem are you using?
• Are you overriding the value of your logger?
• Can you try the master version to see if it solves your issue?

[fluke]

Using version 0.1.1 at master.
Using activerecord-session_store 0.1.1 from git://github.com/rails/activerecord-session_store.git (at master)

I'm not overriding the value. Not that I know of.

That's weird, because that's where I push the new patch for silencing the log in. Could you paste in the output of ActiveRecord::Base.logger and ActiveRecord::Base.logger.respond_to?(:silence_logger)?

I'd love to get this fix, because having this data printed out to the log is a security concern as well.

It seems like that the module didn't get included correctly, but in that case it should have raised an exception like in #42. I'm really not sure what's going on now ...

Would you mind gist me the log? Also, what happen if you add:

ActiveSupport::Logger.send :include, ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Extension::LoggerSilencer

to your initializer?

@sikachu : We are using v0.1.2 and want to silence the logs. Can you please let us know in which initializer file the following line should be added ?

MyLogger.send :include, ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Extension::LoggerSilencer

[sikachu]

@bhaveshf-cuelogic any initializer file. For example, just create a new config/initializers/activerecord-session_store.rb and put that line in there.

Let me know how it goes.

[bhaveshf-cuelogic]

@sikachu : nope, its not working :(

ActiveRecord::Base.logger.respond_to?(:silence_logger) returns true

Following is the ActiveRecord::Base.logger object
<ActiveSupport::Logger:0x00000004e955d0 @default_formatter=#<Logger::Formatter:0x00000004e95558 @datetime_format=nil>, @formatter=#<ActiveSupport::Logger::SimpleFormatter:0x00000005064f00 @datetime_format=nil>, @level=0, @logdev= #<Logger::LogDevice:0x00000004e95508 @dev=#<File:/home/work/projects/my_app/log/development.log>, @filename=nil, @mutex=#<Logger::LogDevice::LogDeviceMutex:0x00000004e954e0 @mon_count=0, @mon_mutex=#<Mutex:0x00000004e95490>, @mon_owner=nil>, @shift_age=nil, @shift_size=nil>, @progname=nil>

I am on rails 5.0.0.1, and I'm facing the same issue. I included the initializer, but it did not work.
My output is the same as @bhaveshf-cuelogic.

Before adding the initializer, my output is:

ActiveRecord::Base.logger
 => #<ActiveSupport::Logger:0x007fc9ae0496e0 @progname=nil, @level=0, @default_formatter=#<Logger::Formatter:0x007fc9ae049640 @datetime_format=nil>, @formatter=#<ActiveSupport::Logger::SimpleFormatter:0x007fc9ace58238 @datetime_format=nil>, @logdev=#<Logger::LogDevice:0x007fc9ae0495f0 @shift_size=nil, @shift_age=nil, @filename=nil, @dev=#<File:/Users/rguerreiro/Documents/Stratasphere/workspace/stratasphere/log/development.log>, @mutex=#<Logger::LogDevice::LogDeviceMutex:0x007fc9ae0495c8 @mon_owner=nil, @mon_count=0, @mon_mutex=#<Mutex:0x007fc9ae049578>>>, @local_levels=#<Concurrent::Map:0x007fc9ae049500 entries=0 default_proc=nil>, @thread_hash_level_key=:"ThreadSafeLogger#70252092345200@level">

ActiveRecord::Base.logger.respond_to?(:silence_logger)
 => true 

So I don't think that the problem would be solved by adding the initializer code.
But I did it anyway, like this:
ActiveSupport::Logger.send :include, ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Extension::LoggerSilencer

The output was the same as before.
Any insights on how to solve this issue?

[andie-chernysh]

Guys, looks like I have the same problem. This issue is almost 2 years old!!! Any updates how that could be fixed? Any workarounds?

[forrestblount]

I was still seeing this issue on 1.1.3 - setting secure: true resolved the issue.

[breim]

@forrestblount where you set secure: true?

The silencer was removed in 2.0.0, and users are now expected to include ActiveSupport::LoggerSilence.
