Okay, I finally figured out how to get this to work. Leave this here for future list archive searchers, since I had to put together a bunch of pieces.
My custom logger, based on this patch: http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1307-bufferedlogger-should-support-message-formatting is in my lib/umlaut_logger.rb. So now that custom logger can take a formatter, like standard ruby Logger can. For some reason, inside the environmental config block, auto-loading from constants doesn't seem to work yet, I needed to require_dependency it automatically. Then, I really wanted to take the existing log and severity level fields from RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER, but RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER isn't set yet here. But if I wait until it IS set, then it's too late for re-setting it to easily have an effect. So I had to reconstruct what it did from source, and other people's suggetsions in the listserv archives. So, in the config block: require_dependency 'umlaut_logger' severity_level = ActiveSupport::BufferedLogger.const_get(config.log_level.to_s.upcase) log_file = File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "log", "#{RAILS_ENV}.log") our_logger = UmlautLogger.new(log_file, severity_level) # eg, my real one is more complicated: our_logger.formatter = lambda {|severity_label, message| "#{severity_label}: #{message}"} config.logger = our_logger That was kind of a lot of work to get custom formatting.
