Hey guys,
I am having trouble displaying log messages with timestamps. My simple
code looks like:
require ‘logger’
logger = Logger.new("/tmp/tmp.log")
logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
logger.datetime_format = “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”
logger.info “Testing!”
All I get in my /tmp/tmp.log is:
$ tail -f /tmp/tmp.log
Logfile created on Mon Jul 13 19:42:20 -0700 2009 by /
Testing!
How, do I get to display something like:
I, [2008-03-18T17:09:29.216000 #2020] DEBUG – : Testing
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harnish

That’s not what I am looking for. I want to use the Logger class to
spit out the timestamp for me. The utility is built-in by default and I
don’t want prepend each and every log statement with a timestamp using
the Time class.
Long story short, I my question really is, why doesn’t using Logger give
me the timestamp I need in my log messages?
Thanks,

Your code outputs in that format for me, on ruby-1.8.6. Does it make a
difference if you remove the line
logger.datetime_format = “%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”
?
That will get you back to the default, which displays microseconds, as
you wanted anyway.
