Hi,  
I’m checking the logs generated in …/log/production.log … is there  
any tool to see all that bunch of text in columns or in some way nicer  
to analyze?

thanks,

Jean

P.S.: Ah, if it helps, I’m using radrails

That depends. What format do the records have? Post a sample line from  
the  
log file.

Hi,

here a few lines of the logs I’m getting in (log/production.log). I’m  
looking for something easier to see than just the plain text … I’m  
getting hundreds of blocks like those and is hard to analyze.

thanks

Jean
