minor issues with crowbar_framework logging #834

Open aspiers opened 12 years ago

aspiers commented 12 years ago

/opt/dell/crowbar_framework/config/environments/production.rb

contains:

require 'syslogger'
config.logger = Syslogger.new("crowbar_app", Syslog::LOG_PID, Syslog::LOG_LOCAL0)
config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG

I have no complaint with the use of syslog, but it does cause a mess when Rails outputs stack traces which appear as a single syslog line, e.g.

May 18 10:25:41 crowbar-admin-sles crowbar_app[1602]: RuntimeError (Can't find any crowbar proposal): app/models/crowbar_service.rb:226:in `read_options'   app/controllers/nodes_controller.rb:117:in `list'   haml (2.2.20) rails/./lib/sass/plugin/rails.rb:20:in `process'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/event_machine/client.rb:41:in `app_call'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/event_machine/client.rb:40:in `catch'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/event_machine/client.rb:40:in `app_call'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/ev_core.rb:97:in `on_read'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/event_machine/client.rb:25:in `receive_data'   eventmachine (0.12.10) lib/eventmachine.rb:256:in `run_machine'   eventmachine (0.12.10) lib/eventmachine.rb:256:in `run'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/event_machine.rb:86:in `worker_loop'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/http_server.rb:44:in `worker_loop'   unicorn (4.1.0) lib/unicorn/http_server.rb:485:in `spawn_missing_workers'   rainbows (4.3.1) lib/rainbows/http_server.rb:60:in `spawn_missing_workers' unicorn (4.1.0) lib/unicorn/http_server.rb:135:in `start'   rainbows (4.3.1) bin/rainbows:122 /usr/bin/rainbows:19:in `load'   /usr/bin/rainbows:19

Clearly that's a bit awkward to read :-) It looks like this might be a limitation of the syslogger gem. Crowbar is on the latest version of the gem (1.3.0) and I don't see any issue currently filed regarding this. The nearest I could find was a rejected pull request to actually join multiple lines into a single line!

Additionally, there are various puts lines (e.g. look at ApplicationController::find_user() in crowbar_framework/app/controllers/application_controller.rb) which never appear in either syslog or /opt/dell/crowbar_framework/log - I'm not sure where they vanish to.
