Logger is a simple but powerful logging utility to output messages in your Ruby program.

Logger has the following features:

• Print messages to different levels such as info and error
• Auto-rolling of log files
• Setting the format of log messages
• Specifying a program name in conjunction with the message

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'logger'

And then execute:

$ bundle 

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install logger 

require'logger'# Create a Logger that prints to STDOUTlog=Logger.new(STDOUT)log.debug("Created Logger")log.info("Program finished")# Create a Logger that prints to STDERRerror_log=Logger.new(STDERR)error_log=error_log.error("fatal error")
