View Rails log?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Tell me please. What are the best ways to view the production log remotely? Maybe there is a gem that will display the log through the web interface?

Answer 1

You use regular logging tools, and a separate program already sends these logs to the log server, where they are indexed, and you view them from the interface.
There are a lot of options, including SaaS.
For example, https://papertrailapp.com/ as a SaaS solution, or ELK stack as your own.

Answer 2

You can just watch through ssh using the tail, grep, less commands, etc.
If you need to somehow process / analyze logs, then in nature there are servers for accumulating logs like rsyslog, logstash, fluent for which there are special applications for visualization.
