How to log session variables in Rails 3.2?

Rails
1

Rails 3.2 introduced tagged logging, is it possible to log session
variables like session[:user_id] using that?
Tried adding that using a lambda, but session is not decrypted when the
logger middleware is called.

Is there any other way to get the session variables logged against each
line that is added in the log file?

Thanks

Hey,

I know this is a few months old, but I ran into the same issue and have
a
(pretty hacky) solution. I put this into my config/application.rb in
order to have access to the session in my log_tags:

config.middleware.delete(ActionDispatch::Cookies)
config.middleware.delete(ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore)
config.middleware.insert_before(Rails::Rack::Logger,

ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore)
config.middleware.insert_before(ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore,
ActionDispatch::Cookies)

# Now this works:
config.log_tags = [:uuid, proc { |request|

request.session[:user_name]
|| ‘Anonymous’ }]

Hope this helps somebody else down the track.

Cheers,
Bo
