Is there any Plugins for log file analysis in ruby?

[Vikas Gholap]

Hello all,


Problem - 1)

I want to retrieve some info from development.log file using
plugins.
In early stage i decided to use Regular Expression to retrieve required
data but i want to use plugin for that.
So can anyone tell me which plugins are available for analyzing(reading)
"development.log" file .


problem - 2)

how i execute the ruby program on unix's cron job utility.?

I wrote a blog post with a quick log file parser that might help you at

If you're working with rails, you could write a rake task and call that from
cron or just run a ruby script directly like:
* * * * * /usr/bin/ruby /path/to/your/ruby/script.rb

If you're working with rails, you could write a rake task and call that from
cron or just run a ruby script directly like:
* * * * * /usr/bin/ruby /path/to/your/ruby/script.rb

If you're running a Rake task, most of these will expect the root of your
Rails project to be the current directory. Unless running in development
you will also want to specify the environment:

m h * * * (cd /path/to/project; RAILS_ENV=production /usr/bin/rake my:task)
