Learn how to set up highlight.io Rails log ingestion.
1
Set up your frontend highlight.io integration.
First, make sure you've followed the frontend getting started guide.
2
Set up the Highlight Logger.
In a Rails initializer, you can replace or extend your logger with the Highlight Logger.
require "highlight"
Highlight::H.new("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", environment: "production") do |c|
c.service_name = "my-rails-app"
c.service_version = "git-sha"
end
# you can replace the Rails.logger with Highlight's
Rails.logger = Highlight::Logger.new(STDOUT)
# or alternatively extend it to log with both
highlightLogger = Highlight::Logger.new(nil)
Rails.logger.extend(ActiveSupport::Logger.broadcast(highlightLogger))
3
Verify your backend logs are being recorded.
Visit the highlight logs portal and check that backend logs are coming in.
