Output Redirection

The console is primarily an interface for logging, with a general purpose implementation which can log to a terminal (human readable) or a file (JSON by default). Output can also be augmented, redirected or manipulated by adding output wrappers. The output wrappers are generally configured using environment variables.

Console::Output::Datadog

This output wrapper augments log messages with trace metadata so that the log messages can be correlated with spans. Note that the default output is still used Console::Output::Default.

$ CONSOLE_OUTPUT='Console::Output::Datadog,Console::Output::Default' ./app.rb

The Console::Output::Datadog is a wrapper that augments the metadata of the log message with the trace_id and span_id.

Custom Output Wrapper

It's straight forward to define your own output wrapper:

# Add a happy face to all log messages.
class HappyLogger
	def call(subject = nil, *arguments, **options, &block)
		arguments << "😊"
		
		@output.call(subject, *arguments, **options, &block)
	end
end
