Rails logs to Graylog2

Configuring Middleware

Add the following to config/application.rb:

config.middleware.insert_before Rack::Runtime, RailsGraylogger::Middleware
config.after_initialize do
  config.logger = Rails.logger = RailsGraylogger::Logger.new(Rails.logger)
end

Watching output without graylog2

One way is to use logstash to listen for gelf input and output it to a file

Config:

input {
  gelf {
  }
}
output {
  file {
    path => "/tmp/test.log"
  }
}

brew install logstash
logstash -f <path_to_config>
