Anyone know how to silence logging of a particular Rails action?

I have monit setup to ping a “/ping” route and the action just renders  
some quick text. The problem is I get:

Processing SiteController#ping (for 127.0.0.1 at 2007-04-30 19:55:46)  
[GET]  
Session ID: 78f1e1aa5c7ddb194565ee79950de618  
Parameters: {“action”=\>“ping”, “controller”=\>“site”}  
Completed in 0.00019 (5159 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00006 (28%) | DB:  
0.00000 (0%) | 200 OK [http:// /ping]

all over my log files every time monit does it’s business…

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi Zack,

Does filter\_parameter\_logging not work with monit for some reason? Or  
are  
you saying you want to silence the logging of the entire  
request/response  
cycle for just this request? Or something else …?

You could just grep the file with ‘ping’ and use -v to show the rows  
that do not match.
