Different Log File For Certain Controller

[GarrettB]

I have a controller I would like to change where it logs to. It gets about 100,000 hits a day so I would like to designate a file so just that controller logs to it, so all the other ones can log into production.log.

I can't find any way to overwrite the environment.rb during runtime.

I'm still a RoR newbie, but it seems something suitable might be possible http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pa...nfigureLogging

Using different loggers for different parts of rails

Since Rails 2.0, something similar is done in "Rails::Initializer#initializelogger":http://github.com/github/rails/tree/c8da518bbfedc2a06b1d96912ddae00e57f21748/railties/lib/initializer.rb#L238-266 and initialize_framework_logging instead of in environment.rb as stated below._

environment.rb defines the loggers used by the components of rails. First it defines the default logger for the application :
.......
Say you want Active record to log in database.log instead of the default #{RAILS_ENV}.log file. You can add the following to the end of your #{RAILS_ROOT}/config/#{RAILS_ENV}.rb file (for example to development.rb):

Garrett if it's really like 100k hits I guess you could think about page caching so your webserver is the only thing that worries about most of the hits which makes your applications log file shorter

And about downtime: Those 10 seconds must be possible. Anytime.
