Hello,

I love acts\_as\_ferret, but acts\_as\_ferret.log is taking 100s of GB…  
I try to decrease the log level, but can not find out how to do that.

In  
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts\_as\_ferret-0.4.4/lib/acts\_as\_ferret.rb

I changed  
@@logger.level = ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level rescue Logger::DEBUG  
to  
@@logger.level = ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level rescue Logger::ERROR

But does not make anychange.

In /opt/rails/emploirama/config/ferret\_server.yml i did change like  
follow  
log\_level: error

But acts\_as\_ferret.log keep on logging everything.  
Any help would be welcome 🙂

regards
