Rack::Requestash

Simple Rack "middleware" for generating logstash friendly request access logs for any Rack-based application.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-requestash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-requestash

Usage

Rack::Requestash will monkey-patch the Rack::CommonLogger class which provides Apache-style access logs. In order to enable in in your application, try something like:

require 'rack/requestash'

class MyServer < Sinatra::Base
  use Rack::Requestash::AccessLogger

  get '/' do
   'Yahtzee!'
  end
end

You will then get nice, JSON formatted logs:
