How do I add a time stamp?

[ryanjones]

Hey Matteo,

You can quick fix it like this:

config/environments/production.rb

MyApp::Application.configure do
  config.lograge.enabled = true

  # add time to lograge
  config.lograge.custom_options = lambda do |event|
    {:time => event.time}
  end
end

Should work in Rails 3.0 and up.

Matteo,

Sorry this is not clearer in the logs.

lograge doesn't concern itself with adding timestamps because that's a task for a LogFormatter, which can be configured for the logger used by everything in Rails and in lograge.

You can specify a custom formatter that logs a timestamp, replacing the default Rails one (https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/lib/active_support/logger.rb#L46-51).

You can replace it either with a custom formatter or use the one built into Ruby's logger library, Logger::Formatter, which also logs a timestamp.

I didn't like the time format the event gave me in #15 (comment) . Just using the Time class worked neatly for me.

MyApp::Application.configure do
  config.lograge.enabled = true

  # add time to lograge
  config.lograge.custom_options = lambda do |event|
    {
       time: Time.now.utc
    }
  end
end
